This game is awesome... you have to spend some time, but then it's really great. You need of cause a wheel.
On my PC 2600+, 1 GB, Rad 9700 Pro it runs really flawless in 1024x768. Everything on high.

Well, the game was freezing on the create a profile screen. I did some toubleshooting and found out that it doesn't freeze with the graphics quality turn to low. You can turn everything else on though or atleast I could. I don't get anymore freezes which is good. Eventhough I would like to have the graphics quality tunred to high, but oh well. Hope this helps anyone that's been having freezing problems.

Had the same freezing problem as you eliteccs. Did not try to turn down the graphics to low. Did not buy an X800XT to play stuff on low quality. Uninstalled, gone.....

i turned everything down to low and eax off and this did help some. now i
was able to do the basic driving school and some of the advanced lessons
before it locked my pc. is there any difference between the releases? i
have the dvd-reloaded one and i'm wondering if it is maybe the release and
not my computer. there is nothing worse than having your pc lock up with
only a scratchy aweful noise repeating from the sound card. i swear it makes
me want to fucking break shit. i can't imagine how pissed off i would get if i
actually paid money for this game. haha..... shitty game makers should be
happy i use the warez... it keeps me from showing up at their office and
making them play with a piece of my shit..... like i just did with their shit
'game' .

I play it at 1024x768 with everything tunred up, but the graphics quality and it runs great. Only reason I set graphics quality to low is, cause it freezes if I don't. My specs isn't exactly great either.
1.2Ghz Celeron
Radeon 9600 Pro
512MB SDRam PC133
Great game also. I'm really loving it. Only thing I can't stand is the fact that you must pass the training to play the normal campaign part of the game. Other then that I love it. The physics is alsome.

Here's a miniminireview, sim freaks will LOVE it, those who think CMR (3,4,5) are great games, will probably hate it. Not to mention people who think CMR games are realistic.. they will probably say RBR is the worst rally game of all time because they can't handle the cars in RBR.
In any case, a wheel is highly recommended. |

the 4 players multiplayer mode is only on 1 computer, no LAN mode, and that's the reason I didn't and won't download this game. What's the point of a rally game if there's no LAN multi ? (except for fans)

have u tried playing cmr 4 online??... i bet you every game you join and the race starts.. at least 2 to 4 ppl will leave in between.... especially on the online championships where w're at the 3th stage and we have 2 ppl left.. really lame....
rbr wants to be a sim.. they don't want to see ghost cars running around the narrow tracks.....

love this game ,even if Richard keeps telling me that his grandma is better than me in his challenge... at least this game makes it feel like a rally car.
I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????

after 5 mins of playing the game starts to stutter very bad.
even on a low graphics setting.
I use a atlhon 2400+ 512mb mem and a Radeon 9700 Pro.
I hope it is the .EXE and they make a new one

Problem is most likely going to be software, hardware or driver related - although the game is I will concede quite unoptimised in places.
I find it runs acceptable at the highest detail settings on my 2ghz, 512mb, 128mb Gf4Ti but I turn general detail to low and dynamic car reflections off and switch everything else on for a more consistently smooth and enjoyable ride. I don't notice a significant difference in the sense that it still looks great and I'm not feeling I miss anything.
I've experienced one or two crashes, most notably during a season race (grr  ) and the sound effects seem to go belly up with regular effect - most often the co-driver talking like he's on speed - but other than that I'm doing good so I assume it's different fr everyone.
The game itself is great, at first it took some getting used to (and a bit of tweaking for my MOMO racing wheel) but I eventually got the hang of its style and completed basic training and the majority of advanced before I got bored and took to the season mode.
Driving is very rewarding as it's never boring, never the same and the tracks are just chock full of enviromental hazards - far and away from Colin McRae rally. Only the snow seems to be strangely un-interactive, there doesn't seem to be much resistence if at all from the bankings ?? but then there is already a mod out there that fixes this - it seems it's quite easy to get into the physics and code of the game which is nice 
When driving you really need to watch your speed and maintain focus, and being aggressive for the sake of being aggressive will get you no where, just because your on a straight stretch and you see a small dink in the road doesn't mean you can ignore it - otherwise you'll put a kink in your rythm and trip up somewhere further down. You have to be more careful and attack fluently all over the track.
The physics are a mixed bag though as I find collisions can either be satisfying or in the case of rolls either too easy and/or too fast - it literally flies!
I'd really love to have a clutch, handbrake and gear-shifter though as they all seem to be fully supporte and would add even greater levels of interaction when driving!
My biggest beef is the sound, apart from I' like more enviromental ambience which either my card isn't pumping out right or just doesn't exist to a good degree (wind, birds, water, crowds... etc), but mostly it's the way it cracks and pops and screws up on me all the time, very annoying
...needs mouse support in menus as well.
Other than that though the game is golden, a patch will hopefully sort things out.
BTW I really am going to treat a lot of people I've never seen on this forum before with some question marks as I've heard people in the console forum referring to the game as appauling and Colin McRae rally as much better... that's just silly talk!

Setting vertical sync to "always on" via a created RadLinker link fixed my stuttering problem. Framerate would pause every few seconds prior to that.
Game runs very well, maximum settings @ 1280x1024.
You can disable the intro movies and have a general fiddle about with settings via the RichardBurnsRally.ini file.

Aye, the modding community surrounding the game is impressive, RBR is the gift that keeps on giving. It's from 2004 and still has the most satisfying physics engine of any rally title (Dirt Rally comes close to it, but doesn't quite surpass it in my opinion  ), similarly to SBK 2001 - still the best motorbike sim, and ISI's F1 Challenge 99-02 back when EA didn't suck balls which had more accurate physics than anything the Codies have ever produced.
It's quite sad when one thinks about it though, technology has advanced a lot in terms of visual fidelity but when it comes to physics we're stuck in a limbo of inertia that's almost heading backwards.
Found this guide which is a nice a starting point, I never really managed to set everything up properly (the plugins were an absolute nightmare to install) but apparently there are new recent tools that make modding less cumbersome.
