EVERGRID's Patch

A ready-to-use patch that fixes blurry distant textures, unlocks Intel exclusive features and allows for downsampling. Online friendly.
Made specifically to address known issues on this page, without having to edit configuration files manually.
Download and install the patch
  1. Download the archive here (Nexus Mods). Animated comparisons are available on the mod's page for better clarity.
  2. Extract the content in <path-to-game>.
  3. Launch the game, go to Graphics setting and set the general preset to Ultra. This step is required, otherwise some settings will be marked as "Custom" and the game will not allow them to be changed otherwise.
  4. Set the graphics settings as preferred with improved Anistropic filtering, unlocked Intel's exclusive features and the ability to use downsampling.

Secondary screen

A secondary monitor can be used to show race statistics. Intel's WiDi is also supported.[1]
If using a multi-monitor resolution in-game, the secondary monitor can not be part of the spanned resolution.

Using mods

In most cases, Windows mods only need to be extracted into the game folder or the data folder. On OS X and Linux, the mod data should be extracted into <path-to-game>/share/data.

Issues unresolved

Corrupt save game

Although officially declared as resolved, some users are still reporting issues with save game corruption.
Some have reported that disabling Steam Cloud can help.
Disable Steam Cloud[citation needed]

Issues fixed

Distant textures are blurry

In-game Anisotropic Filtering is variable, with a minimum of 4x and maximum on 16x on Ultra, leading to blurry distant textures.
See EVERGRID's Patch.

The patched Ultra setting provides proper 16x filtering on every texture.

Stuttering
