Sorry, Links Dead Race Driver: GRID

* * * * * 2 Votes Please vote for the Quality of this Port / Wrapper, not for the Game or Application!




Screenshots
Grid is a true evolution for Codemasters' acclaimed racing series, which first appeared as the TOCA (DTM/V8) Touring Car games (1997-2000) and became the TOCA (DTM/V8) Race Driver series (2002-2006). Challenging players to become the number one race driver in a new world of exhilarating motorsport, Race Driver: Grid takes players on a tour like never before; to beautifully realized racing locations through Europe, the U.S., Japan and beyond. The game will feature the most extensive range of events in the series, combining official circuit-based championships with road races and urban street competitions.

Personal Notes:
PLEASE follow the installation instructions below! This wrapper has a VERY weird setup, UNLIKE anyone you've probably ever used!

Minimum System Requirements:
- OS: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard / Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
- RAM: 2048 MB
- Video: nVidia 8xxx Series or AMD 4xxx Series Video Card recommended
- Apple's X11 must be installed
- 11GB Hard Drive Space required

GMA and ATI were not tested. Please post results if you do test.

Known Issues:
- Game crashes when quitting.
- Settings graphics to high or ultra may lead to GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY. You are free to experiment with graphics settings, but please share your results here!
- This may NOT work with less than 4GB of RAM. It is not due to requirements, but due to a patch I applied in Wine's source. If it does not, tell me how much RAM you got and I'll upload a 2GB min version as soon as I have the time to make one.

Installation - PLEASE follow the instructions carefully!
0. Skip to 6 if you have the game installed in Parallels (or similar) or in Bootcamp
1. Download the wrapper and duplicate it so you have two.
2. Install the game in one of them using the wineskin installer.
3. Install the Official Patch 1.3. Then apply NO-DVD crack (sorry copy protection doesn't work)
4. Open the Contents of both wrappers. Move the "Codemasters" directory from the one were you installed the game to the empty one's Program Files
5. Delete the first one, it's not needed anymore.
6. Start the game. It may only render in an area of your screen. Don't worry.
7. Go to the game's display settings. Set your desired resolution. Hit Left Shift and set everything to the lowest possible setting.
8. Do NOT enable antialias or vsync.
9. Exit this screen. DO NOT restart when asked to do so.
10. Go to audio settings now. Set to Hardware Mode. Exit screen, again, do NOT restart.
11. Quit the game. It WILL freeze. CMD+Q to exit to the desktop, then launch Wineskin and Kill all wine processes.
12. Start the game. Off you go, have fun!

Awesome job on that game, thanoulas!!! I'll test how it will work on my GMA. Hot Pursuit didn't work, so at least we got an incredible racer game!! If it works for me this will be my choice for POTW!
This looks awesome Thanolous, but is NFS Hot Pursuit unportable?
Well it stops at a specific function for now. So yes, until this is fixed in wine, Hot Pursuit can't be ported yet. Don't worry, though, I keep trying whenever the wine git is updated.
Works great on a ATI Radeon HD 4670.

Thank you!
Link.in is not letting me download the wrapper.  It keeps saying things like my account's not validated or I have parallel downloads (which I don't,) etc.  Any ideas?  Thanks.  And thanks for uploading this game!
I have a kind of success with the game on my X3100. At first I got a black screen with sound after the intro movies just like on Windows (I never had the chance to play it on Windows), but later I saw the save folder in the Documents and edited the hardware file manually and and on the next run I managed to get to the profile maker. After I made my profile and it showed my first drift race but the exe crashed. I'll update to version 1.2 to say it will go. I'm so excited, because I could run that game on Windows, and I have the chance to run it on Mac or at least see the in-game menu :)
Hey diamondsami, try with the 1.3 update, since it's got more bugs fixed. Also, how much Ram does your system have? If you have less than 4GB I'll have to upload another wrapper, because I'm using a nasty malloc hack in the wrapper .. :|
I'm with 3 GB Ram, so if you can please upload that wrapper too. Thanks!!
Ok i'm building the wrapper now.

shakasherwood, maybe it's rapidshare and not linksave.in. Try in a little while, I'm sure you'll be able to download it. If you still can't I'll try and upload it on hotfile, too.
I also had the same problem with the downloading but then I used jDownloader and it download it fine.
Thanks you.  I got it going and I'm very happy.  Awesome work!

This is pretty cool =)
download doesn't work
The game works great until I get to the Team branding part.  After I enter my team name, it always just freezes and I have to quit the program.  Weird.
it makes "a serious error" after every race and freezes. maybe is there a fix? really liked this game on windows but i don't like windows
