Race Driver: Grid, also known as GRID in North America, is a singleplayer and multiplayer racing game developed and published by Codemasters. It is part of the GRID sub-series of the TOCA video game series and is the first Codemasters-developed title to uses the EGO engine.
The game was released on May 30, 2008. The MacOS version, ported by Feral Interactive, was released on March 28, 2013. It was later released on all digital storefronts on June 4, 2008.
The multiplayer servers for the game were shut down in June 2011[1], but can be restored with a mod (see Multiplayer types). The flashback time's duration is affected by the FPS the game is running (see Flashback time is very short).
It was later delisted from most storefronts on December 31st, 2016, followed by ZOOM on March 31, 2023.

Issues fixed
Crash to desktop on 4+ core/thread CPUs

Graphics freeze/flicker during races
This bug occurs at the start of or during a race.The shadows and trees/foliage will start quickly flickering or the game will repeat the last two frames while dropping to a very low frame rate.
- This bug seems to mostly appear on AMD graphic cards,but may happen on Nvidia cards as well[citation needed].
Play in a windowed mode[citation needed] |

Alt+Tab ↹ out and back into the game |
---|
Grid fails to launch
Reinstall OpenAL[8] |
---|
Use the -novirtual command line argument[citation needed]
|
---|
The game is incompatible with Windows beta UTF-8 support[9] |
---|
Recent versions of Windows have added an option "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" in "Advanced language settings". Due to the way this changes the underlying functions in Windows, it is not compatible with this game, and will cause it to silently crash on a black screen. This will also cause an event in the Windows Event Log for grid.exe, with an error code of 0xC0000005 (EXCEPTION_INVALID_ADDRESS). If this option is enabled, you will need to disable it and reboot the system. |

No sessions found in multiplayer
Patch the game to the latest version[citation needed] |
---|
Flashback time is very short
- The flashback uses frames to calculate time. Higher FPS lowers the amount of time that can be rewound, making it less useful.
Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS[15] |
---|
Missing sounds
- Various sound effect will either not play or stop playing over the course of a race.
Disable hardware accelerated audio in the game's settings[citation needed] |

Language Files Incorrect
- 'Points' is incorrectly referred to as 'Penalties' on the post-race screen in GRID World. The
fbf
andhve
V8 Supercars have no support in the language files.
Use Broski's Upgraded GRID mod |

|
Incorrect Points Systems
- Each region in GRID World is supposed to have its own unique Points system. In the latest version on Steam, the same Points system is applied to all regions.
Use Broski's Upgraded GRID mod |
