Issues fixed
Black screen
- Can be caused by connecting via HDMI to a TV or projector that does not support the display mode. Note that the below fix does not work for all users.
| Edit screen.dat[6] |
|---|
fullscreen = true width = 1920 height = 1080 refreshrate = 60 vsync = false If this doesn't work, you can try to edit the screen.dat file with Vsync ACTIVATED, that is, replace the last line with vsync = true This may be useful, apparently, mostly to laptop users and/or people whose PCs (especially the GPU) are slightly outdated. It solved the problem on a 15.6' HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop with a Geforce Go 7400 (256 MB, DX9.0c) and 1280x800 resolution. |
Strange visual artifacts on rocks
- Caused by MSAA being forced externally.
| Set 'use application defaults'[6] |
|---|
|
Set MSAA settings to 'use application defaults'. |
Brake pedals do not rest in neutral position
| Unplug controller[7] |
|---|
White flickering
- Caused by Depth of Field effect, particularly OS X machines with Intel cards.
| Disable Depth of Field[6] |
|---|
