Don't blame Shift on that, I didn't experience obvious cases of rubberbanding yet. The AI cheats in Grid and probably in most racers too anyway. Lazy devs call it "adaptative challenge" and pretend to think this is just what we solo gamers want... The only difference is how subtle the cheating is. On a scale of 1 to 10, I think rubberbanding in Shift & Grid would be well below 5, while NFS Underground (my only previous NFS) would score a solid 8 and Fuel would hit a 12 :lol:

I only played the demo of Shift, but the more I played it the less impressed I became. Tried it with keyboard, 360 controller and Logitech G25.

I've come to the conclusion that I need a proper wheel for Forza 2/3 as well - I'm absolute pants with a controller. :( And the 360 doesn't like the G25. :(
XCM makes and adapter for ps3 to xbox 360 and it works well.

I doubt you will get force feed back though.

wow what a diiference the 360 controller makes. holy shit. its so different. I still fee like a tard, but it's making the game enjoyable.

I'll also check out the mods. Thanks for the heads up, I never really mod games too much, but this looks like a no-brainer!

This patch solved all my issues!

Performance is increased ten-fold, and I'm not exaggerating! Went rom stuttery, unplayable, laggy 30ish low detail hell to triplehead, all maxed, butter smooth glory!

The handling issues is resolved, the input lag is gone, and all is well!

Back to the track I go!


oh, my system:
Q9550@3,4
4Gb DDR2
2x HD4890
Running 4380x768, 4xAA, 60fps

Hmm I was able to get about 30fps maxed out with motion blur off but I did get a dip here and there in a very few spots. Wonder if my performance will go up also with a single 5870.

Edit: jeese anybody have some patch notes? I cant find them anywhere.

Oh wow, I thought the bonus cars would be for quick races only... But they get added for free to your cars, and can be used in career mode - and have upgrades ! :w00t
