Issues unresolved
Slow-down when using a controller
- When using a controller, frame-rate may drop significantly in main-menu.
Analog inputs do not function on newer versions of Windows
- On Windows 8 and higher, USB controller (wheel and gamepad) analog inputs register according to the options menu, but will not function in-game as the default controller cannot be set.
- A temporary workaround involves plugging the controller to a USB 2.0 slot and other peripherals into a USB 3.0 or higher slot.
This is due to how the game treats device priorities, relocating the controller to the top of the default controller list. This ceases to work on the next PC start-up, locking the steering to the left and disabling all controller input except for Acceleration.
Issues fixed
Low FPS on modern systems
(DirectX 10.1+) Use dgVoodoo wrapper[citation needed] |
