Thanks for pointing out the differences. I think the widescreen resolution could be far better if they tried. :) But it's looking awesome anyway :) |

Are you guys trolling or have I missed something? No, but it appears you are trolling. You're hijacking my contest thread with your rant. If you have an issue with the game, post in the DR thread. To be honest, until Skid and g00seberry started working on screenshots for the Detailed Report, I didn't realize there was an issue with the FOV. I fired up a preview copy I got from Codies, and it looked and played great to me. I hadn't taken the time to grab shots for a proper comparison - I was having too much fun playing the game in what little free time I have. Based on my experience I asked Codies for keys, to hold a *LAUNCH CONTEST*. We couldn't even have tested the final game code until this contest was underway. I asked Codies and AMD for the keys before we got release code, and before this was realized. Personally, I don't appreciate you calling the site or anything we're doing a joke. If you have an issue with something, why not take the time to PM or email me or one of the staff personally. Now that this has been identified, I will be getting with Codies on it, but at the moment I'm a bit busy. Should I cancel the contest now that we've figured this out? No. Should I hold the keys hostage until Codies fixes it? No. What is highly disappointing is your attitude and desire to simply troll/flame. Don't like the contest, don't post. Don't like the site, leave. We are all volunteers, and we do our best. You haven't volunteered, and you haven't contributed any content, or much to the overall discussion. I will say that as soon as I saw your name here I instantly remembered you trolling in the comments on videos that Aussie did for the YouTube channel. Really not the way you want to be remembered, or the way you should be behaving. If you can't keep it civil, bans will be given. |

Post subject: | A few things worth pointing |
A few things worth pointing out: As Skip said, the contest was started on honest grounds before the multi-monitor support was known to have issues. As far as Codemasters/AMD and we were aware, the game worked fine in multi-monitor resolutions. Their support in previous DiRT titles gave no reason to doubt this. If you check the DR thread you can see one of the devs responding to say that it indeed does appear to work for them. I contacted them about the problem with multi-monitor resolutions as soon as I started my review (and didn't shy away from reporting the problem bluntly within the review), and you can see that a dev promptly responded in the thread - so yes, we are working with them to solve it. Skid and I have given them hardware settings to help troubleshoot the problem and I'm sure they are going to continue investigating it. Note that in the UK (which is where Codemasters is based) there has been an extended Jubilee weekend, and thus only a 3 day working week, so this will extend the time it will take them to work through this with us. I will chase it up with them if there is no reply for a while. It doesn't taint the validity of the contest at all. The information about multi-mon support is available in multiple places across the site, so I think our readers are smart enough to decide for themselves how it would effect their enjoyment of the game. |

Post subject: | Sorry for the delay in |
Sorry for the delay in getting the voted starting. Been swamped with IRL and in getting a recent review finished. http://www.wsgf.org/article/review-corsair-vengeance-m90-mouse-k90-keyboard In reviewing the thread I see that Grizz and stone each had multiple entries. I have sent a PM asking them to pick the favorite of their entries. Once I have that, I will start the voting. |

Pretty sure Skip has a few keys so good chance anybody that entered will win. I guess I will be away when we pick the winners, I leave after work tonight to go to Metrocon. I'll see about pushing some WSGF mentioning around in the game room and stuff. http://youtu.be/HxhlZasZDQs :D no internet while I am out there unless i want to pay like $20 a day, and since I bought $0.25 Ramen for dinner... yeah. |
