Dirt Rally 1.0 on steamdeck

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh I had this installed for a while actually! Would ordinarily try and have DR2 installed but that file size is not the one…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah 2.0 seemed cool, but I'm not big on the DRM it uses. 1.0 has some crazy physics, but I think they're fun. I like the menu music better too.

RBRHU, Assetto, BeamNG, iRacing. They're all great! Haven't driven in a while though. I go through phases.

When you say RBRHU, is that Richard Burns Rally the Hungarian rally sim fans version, as in RSF?

Same one that I use! It’s great. I just wish I didn’t have to download a new installer every time it needed an update 😂

Can’t beat a bit of Colin McRae Rally 2.0. 😂

Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione

Heard good things about beam ng

I have competizione but never booted it up. I think the GT3 class is something that I never vibed with really. That said I've never driven it so there's still time!

Edit: just gotta add- BeamNG.drive is quite possibly the most underrated driving game out there! You get way more for your money than you'd expect. I cannot speak highly enough of it.

Competitzione has really nice feel. Tire model is great! I only really like hotlapping in GT cars so that's what I use it for.

Yeah I reckon I’ll give it a go soon enough. I also really don’t enjoy sequential shifters. Love me some old school manual shift!

I have a few others, but mostly just race in iRacing. Just started a few months ago, so still working on my kit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I always wanted to try iRacing but....my wallet...I'm trying to protect it 🤣

[–] The_Hideous_Orgalorg 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it definitely isn't the least expensive option. Sticking to one or two series can help keep it down somewhat. I've still spent a lot more on hardware than software, with much yet to go as well.

Automobilista 2

With the racecraft.online community there are really nice and clean races with a casual friendly ranking system.

Lots of classes and tracks, nice damage simulation.

There are a lot of tracks and cars only available through dlc but the technical updates are free.

Are there enough players on RCO now? I was active there a while ago, but the player numbers dropped to only 1 or 2 players per race after a short hype. And I don't like racing with AI.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I play there since April and started with the gt4 class. There were almost always enough players to not trigger the ai. On evenings\weekends around 7-12 racers average with peaks up to 20. Since last week the new season started and now multiclass races are supported which should result in even more players per race

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds good. Maybe I should give it another try.

Y'know, I've seen this name thrown about a lot but not looked into it at all. Just stuck it on my list to have a look at, thanks!
