@@OverpoweredGamingYT still don't work ever since I upgraded my pc to a 2080super and i7 8700 And went to win 10 I couldn't get my fucking game to work wish I could give it back but I bought it back in 2012 lol
And for anyone who has problems to get it running: Windows 10 After reinstalling Windows 10 (new mainboard and CPU i5 13th gen) I got the little Dirt Showdown square only and the start was interrupted. I tried everything - without success. I changed the compatibility settings/preferences in the program folder (in my case Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Showdown\) for 'showdown_avx.exe' (you may try also 'showdown.exe') to 'run as admin' (or something like that, english is not my native language) and DiRT Showdown was starting. I've unchecked the admin mode after it runs once and it was still working - until I was upgrading to... Windows 11 The hack for Windows 10 wasn't working, but under settings/preferences I gave the 'compatibility troubleshooter' a chance with 'none of the problems above' and I asked Windows to set the compatibility preferences. BIG surprise: Problem solved, I am back on the 'road'. 😁 Try that before you say good bye to that great 'vintage game'

One of my favorite games, but I didn't like how sometimes you'd complete a race and then have to spend 20 minutes trying to escape the police when you just wanted to start the next race.
Still sorta rough... The OG Xbox source code has been dumped or reverse engineered, or boht so I hope that will mean great things for Xbox emulation. And a ton of kudos tokens? How? With a cheat device?
My favorite busted scene has to be when the State Troopers have your car surrounded, and one of the cops blocks out the camera just as another cop proceeds to smash out the window of your car with his nightstick.
The Blackbox PS2 version have better content in overall, but the EA Seattle PC, Xbox and Gamecube versions featured the playable Diablo VT cop car which can't be playable on the PS2 version.
