Bad how?

Game uses heavy post-processing effects such as bloom (with blur) and aliasing is rather noticeable (Vegetation for example, those tree leaves that kinda look like sprites, hehe.) as AA (And AF from what I've read.) aren't working properly.

Ontop of that the HDR system is quite strong so lighting will go from dark to bright to very dark to super bright just by driving around a bit.

Then there's various special effects like all that dust and particles like rain plus that smudged or burnt edge effect on the screen.

Game will look a bit smooth and blurry as a result, not as focused or clear or how to say it.
(Same with Dirt and Grid I guess, seems to be based on that engine as they refer to it as Grid in the readme.html file in one place.)

OK so i'll just turn off AF and AA. Maybe it'll look better Rolling Eyes

Any words about Kaspersky detecting the crack as a virus?? I got it from a few places and always the same warning, so I guess it's a false positive?

Haha Tombata ofcourse AA/AF would improve visual quality but it doesn't seem to work with this game (Might be forceable via the driver control panel somehow though.) though all the heavy post processing effects means the game is a bit blurry/smoothened or how to say.

This is just lots of wasted potential. Races are boring, difficulty settings only affect how fast AI drivers go, physics are funky. There is huge, empty world, nothing happens, you can't do anything, but drive around looking for (lol) more paint schemes. You can't even play vehicle class you like, you're forced to participate in all of them to get points.

Definetly NOT TDU in the Wasteland.

I think AF is working just not noticeable because of the way textures LOD is working in this game, and as I mentioned before AA is working but only in menus.

Up to you really...

It is kinda fun, but repeative, open grounds to speed on, so its alright...
Its fun speeding around, but gets lonesome, havent tried Online yet...

You drive around looking for Oil Barrels that say "Fuel" on them and run into them and you get 100 in fuel each barrel you hit... If you like "looking" around sorta like a Hide and Seek feel then this game is really fun looking for fuel that is...
Racing is kinda easy, so that gets boring fast...

All in all, you might want to try it out...

If you like driving around aimlessly ... try it. If you want an involved game, then screw this.

Thats just your illusion, thinking your better than anyone else...
Dont really give a shit about it...
MJ slept with many children and he gets away with it because hes famous ???
Doesnt mean he did anything but IF you see a grown man sleeping with children in his bed he would be accused of Pedophilia... Not my doing... And paying 22 Million so he wouldnt have to goto court sounds suspicious...
Yes, I do have a life... None of your concern, so dont worry about me...

I uninstalled the game, got to boring...
Way to repetitive...
I mean a house with fuel behind it and drive 10 meters more same house with the same exact place the fuel is at...

Owell...

Gday all,

After mucking around with some files, I found out how to enter the de-bugging mode of the game. You can teleport to anywhere on the map, open up a test menu which allows you to muck about with a heap of things. Evil or Very Mad

Here's the link to my original thread over on the Codemasters Fuel forum

christ, do you really go that in depth to notice stuff? Its like your a critic for the opposition publisher looking to discredit such a well made game. Fuck if arma used this engine for its scenery generation there would be no bitching at bohemian forums for instance.

Not one impact hit or popup nada, looks good lighting is good, day and night cycles are lovely.. sense of speed is great as well.. Shame people these days have to nit pick so much even on a game that actually plays really well.

Dont seem to matter no more these days, arma 2 is badly optimized its bitched on, Fuel is very well optimized and is still bitched on.

such a nice atmosphere we live in today.

Please calm down... If your referring to me, I want variety in game, thats all...

@CFH

Yeah ok i sees, just a bit more variance where ever you go that is supposed to be new as ur er not in the same place no more.. thats fine, but as the game is generally a race and free roam speed jump/skid/type game I think it really is fine as it is.
for me the rest of the games features and size really pushes away any notice (not that I have really) samey building types etc or placement of fuel barrels lol.

Ive not seen anything yet on dirt2 but wonder if there is tons repeated in those fixed track areas. Romania did fuel no? and codemasters inhouse did the dirt stuff? either way they are both very well made and sim in output to screen visuals for me. I really cant wait for dirt 2 though Smile

Don't forget, everyone wants/expects something different from a game. X wants better AI, Y wants more variety, Z wants optimization, thus if the game doesn't balance every aspect decently, you'll always have someone bitching. Ofc there are really nice/good games out there and people still find the tiniest detail to bitch about, but this isn't the case, imo.

Yes, the game really does grow on you... I did really love speeding around and looking for "fuel", but when its in the same spot (ontop of house/behind house/on barn) it gets to repetitive...
They should of just made the "fuel" totally random through out the entire area/map the I would be very happy with speeding/cruising around Smile...

@CFH
Was it possible to remove the Blur/Bloom in some options ???

O man, now youve done it... Im going to install it again and play it for what it is... Maybe someone will make a MOD with Random Fuel everywhere Smile...

Other people over on the Codemasters forum have been mucking around with files too.

So far someones found how to get more motion blur, change the smoothness of it, disable it and a few other things.

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363812&page=2

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=364102

I'm sure it has a lot of modding potential.

I really enjoy the game, not so much for the actual story line or objectives, just more so for the exploring. The game runs so damn nice, so much these days games are huge in size and not optimized. But yes, it's a little lacking in parts.

well havent played pc version, only 360 and i love it, loads to do, lots of races, good gfx, good variety in handling/power/etc, ok physics are arcadey but i wouldnt want to write-off my vehicle after 5 mins of racing...
if you want a sim dont buy/download an arcade racer..
AI can be slightly annoying every so often but if your getting hammered then you just need to practice
you either love it or hate it but most who hate it havent played it for more than a few races...those who are prepared to give it more than a couple of hours end up enjoying it and it will last far longer than most race games (and loads on here constantly bitch about how short most games are)

@mods - cant you ban these idiots who want to turn this into an MJ paedo thread...christ the man is dead and still they bang on about getting away with it... what has it got to do with Fuel?
