    Dirt 5 is an arcade off-road racing game developed by Codemasters.

    I don't normally talk about who developed a particular game, but today is a little different.

    I've always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with racing games. Mainly hate; from 1987 (Test Drive) through until 2019 I tried to like racing games, but I just didn't. Racing with keyboard/mouse is awful, and I couldn't "get" racing with a controller (PS2 / Gran Turismo).

    That changed with the Xbox One controller and Forza Horizon 4. It finally clicked for arcade racing. I still don't enjoy technical racing sims.

    Dirt Rally & Dirt Rally 2.0 were both an exercise in frustration. I'd heard that Dirt 5 was different, and I had a key for it, so I installed it.

    They were correct. Dirt 5 is a whole different exercise in frustration.

    As a racing game, it's proficient, and feels a lot like a rally cross between The Crew and Forza Horizon games.

    Dirt 5 was released by Codemasters in 2020. Codemasters was purchased by Electronic Arts in 2021. Which explains a lot about why Dirt 5 has been almost impossible to play since 2021.

    There is a literal gamebreaking bug, in a game that is less than three years old and remains unfixed. Quite simply, my initial start of this game was a fluke, because after that, it crashed every single time.

    It's a known issue. It is unfixed. I put on my technical support hat, and went hunting. It appears that older DRM (Denuvo in this case) does not get on with the e-cores in 12th and 13th gen Intel CPUs.

    Gigabyte released a workaround patch for 12th gen Alder Lake CPUs that parks the e-cores to enable compatibility, and I located an app (ParkControl) that will allow me to do the same, and it works consistently.

    This is for a game that EA *still* sells.

    The Steam forums have multiple posts about it crashing on startup, as do the EA Dirt 5 forums (for Xbox Game Pass PC and Steam).

    EA just doesn't appear to care, which is no surprise at all.

    Dirt 5 is:

    3: OK (for racing)
    1: Nope (for EA & DRM)

  2. Ok, happy with the #steamdeck I bought for traveling so far. However, now I actually travel and I was unpleasantly surprised when I took out the deck in the plane. My fav games #rdr2 and #thedivision2 both won’t start when offline. I was only able to play #Dirt5 actually.

    Anyone using the deck for travel with tips? The other game, #DCS steam edition I can’t even start.

    Am I missing something or is the deck pretty useless without Internet connectivity?

  3. So, I've used my #Steamdeck a little since the flight too and from going on holiday last year. Today I feel like I levelled up.

    Steamdeck #Dock, connected to the big 50" HD screen in my office, #Bose #Bluetooth for sound and a freshly modded #stadia controller now Bluetooth ready and I've spent a beautiful hour playing #Dirt5..

    This console is amazing.. recommend Spiderman

  7. Der Arcade-Racer „Dirt 5“ von Codemasters ist eine Hochglanz-Schlammschlacht, die es mit der Konkurrenz locker aufnimmt.
