Now presenting... CMCR-DiRT-MTFix A VERY WORK-IN-PROGRESS Colin MCRae DiRT Multithread Fix, for Windows OS A little insight The game was launched on 2007, just prior to Intel's Sandy Bridge Core microarchitecture , which more or less marked a milestone on multithreading as we all know it nowadays. So given that circunstance, the game already has support for 2 and 4 cores CPU, mostly from the Dual and Quad Core era. It even has a non-working 8 core support implemented (in fact, the 8 core worker map file is there, but the game won't make use of it on modern hardware and implements it weirdly). EGO engine it has been vastly used on several titles from Codemasters, so I did a little investigation on other EGO 1.0 and 1.5 titles, and came up with a fix for that 8 core workermap. Upon testing, I realized that the workermap could be extrapolated to more cores, so I made several other worker map files to support 6, 8 and 12 cores. I don't really know how much better the game will perform, but at least It won't hurt as much as being only using 4 cores max. Also, this method fixes several other hardware detection problems as: Improper resolution detection Improper system internal rating What exactly does this fix? Well, it copies my fix xml files to your game's system folder, and then using a template, will detect your CPU's logical cores, and create a personalized hardware restriction file, to make your the game uses the most amount of cores possible, to a max of 12 cores, as it seems this EGO iteration won't work with more cores. In what Release do I have to use this fix? It should work on any release, but I've only tested it in the v1.22 release, the one that removes the DRM, so I encourage you to use that one. How to apply the fix If you already have the requirements above done, the fix is easy to apply. Download the fix Download the file "CMCR-DiRT-MTFix.exe" and paste it on the main Colin MCRae DiRT folder, just near the DiRT.exe file. Execute CMCR-DiRT-MTFix.exe Let it do its things Run the game and reconfigure it. Your settings should be gone. Set them up again. If everything works, you can now play Colin McRAe DiRT making the most out of your hardware. Strong Recommendation I really encourage you to pair this fix with DXVK from Ph42oN if your GPU is Vulkan capable. On my system I go from 180fps in race with D3D9 to 400fps with Vulkan. Give it a try!! Check my Github for more info, even a SteamOS release, as this script is open source!

Extract the provided zip file, then run the executable to install. The patch claims that it works if DiRT 1.20 or 1.21 is installed. In reality, it only works with DiRT version 1.21, so install the 1.21 patch before installing this one. This patch is sometimes referred to (misleadingly) as the "1.20 to 1.22 patch".

This is the 1.20 patch for Colin McRae: Dirt. If you're looking to install the 1.22 patch which removes the disc check, you should install the 1.21 patch before you install the 1.22 patch. The 1.22 patch cannot be installed without first installing the 1.21 patch, and the 1.21 patch can possibly be installed without having installed the 1.20 patch first (I haven't tested installing the 1.21 patch on a fresh install of DiRT). I have successfully installed the 1.22 patch by installing the patches in this order: 1.0.0 (base game) --> 1.20 patch --> 1.21 patch --> 1.22 patch To install this patch, extract the zip file and then run the executable inside it.

This patch is necessary to install the 1.22 patch, which removes the disc check. The 1.22 patch claims that it requires the 1.20 or 1.21 patches installed, but in reality, it does not work with only the 1.20 patch installed. It only works with the 1.21 patch. Some have said online that you must install the 1.20 patch before installing the 1.21 patch, and I have not verified this myself. To correctly install the 1.22 patch, you should install patches in this order: 1.0.0 (base version) --> 1.10 patch (optional, this patch is included in 1.20 and 1.21) --> 1.20 patch --> 1.21 patch --> 1.22 patch As said earlier, the step with the 1.20 patch might not be necessary, but I tested the above order and it worked for me.
