Supported by default.
Logitech G27 wheel
The G27 wheel is not natively supported, but the G25 is so it's not difficult to get it to work.
In the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\Grid\ActionMap\
folder the G25 is actionMapPreset1.xml, make a copy of that file, rename to "G25_actionMapPreset1.xml" for a backup.
Open the actionMapPreset1.xml file in a plain-text editor like Notepad or Wordpad, change ALL instances of "G25" to "G27" (quotes here just for clarity - don't add extra quotes in file).
Save the file, save a copy as "G27_actionMapPreset1.xml" as a backup. It's important that the file with the G27 edits remains named actionMapPreset1.xml else it won't work.
Run GRID, the G27 will be detected and displayed in the Controls menu.
If that method doesn't work, try this.
Audio settings
Issues fixed
No multiplayer support
Multiplayer is still possible and relatively easy to organise by using GameRanger. To do it, get 1 person to host a game of Grid through GameRanger, then get everyone to join. The host must then click the start button in the GameRanger lobby which will launch the game. The host then navigates to multiplayer > lan > create session > create lobby - at which point GameRanger will automatically start the other players game. They should go to multiplayer > lan > join session to join the game.
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
Quote from developer: "GRID is a very graphically intensive game and uses a lot of VRAM. For this reason, there is a limit on the maximum resolution you can run in if you have a card with very little video memory (eg 256Mb)."
To solve this problem go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Codemasters\Grid\system\hardware_settings_restrictions.xml
You should see a tag at the bottom of the file called "res". If you delete this line you should be able to run at all the resolutions your graphics card supports. Just be wary that running at high resolutions with high levels of multisampling might cause your game not to run properly.
