						With the unprotected files I get a much much faster start up of the game and also faster loading screens, but no speed increase in the game. Faster loading is quite nice tho, a nice change.

This is for 32-bit Windowses. On 64-bit Windows, 32-bit application can automatically use up to 4 GB of RAM for itself (vs 2 or 3 GB on 32-bit Win).

						With skidrow version and files from  unprotected.rar
 
1) much faster starting up
 
2) slight fps increase in certain areas, not much in others
 
3) a lot higher gpu load in crossfire but not much gain
 
 
After renaming .exe to dirt2.exe (with radeonpro)
 
4) between 5-10 fps gain on the above
 
5) but lower crossfire load
 
 
 
Paul.dll seems completely obsolete with this exe btw...

						Just backed up everything and fired it up via remote with fraps, was inside the tent and was showing 40 fps... but i think thats pretty much how it was before.. Naturally though a remote session might not be giving accurate data so i will try when i am home full screen...
 
 
Thanks for the post but I imagine its much the same..
 
 
It does load a LOT faster though which is a bonus i suppose!

Changed something in the config, then changed it back, so it had to resave the file and everything works again, thanks!

						Some personal feed-back on new *cough* "noDVD" *cough*...
 
 
There seems to be an increase in GPU load (as GPU temps now go up to ~74 degrees C, compared to previous load ~65 degrees - measured with MSI Afterburner).
 
 
Also loading time on launcher starting game has been reduced with roughly 40-50% here.
 
 
Can't put my finger on FPS gains though yet. Seems to be slightly better, but might be a placebo, as I already had decent FPS even with SkidRow's crack method.
 
 
And as for SecuRom and games going hand in hand with happy performance all I can "say" is...

np, stange isnt it? there seems to be something wrong with the copyrotection and it seems to affect the performance of the engine. | 	  
 
 
I haven't noticed any performance increase, exempt much faster game start-up.

						Using the GOG EXE, and launched directly from it and not the launcher, almost HALVES the loading speed - both getting into game and between areas.   Much better improvement.   The framerate isn't affected though, still the same as it was.
