Issues fixed

No sessions found in multiplayer

Everyone must be using the same version of Grid for the sessions to display.

Alt-Tab crashes game

Alt-tabbing out of the game may cause it to hang. No known solution (finding a way to make it run in windowed mode will likely solve this issue).

The game does not appear to run on an Intel i7 CPU

The hyperthreading in your i7 CPU, will mean that it is recognised as an 8 core, which can cause conflict with the game. The problem can be normally be overcome by doing the following:

Replace the contents of

C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\Grid\system\workerMap8Core.xml

with that of

C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\Grid\system\workerMap4Core.xml

The game does not show your native resolution in settings

This may occur on systems with very low video memory (e.g. 256 MB).
