360 - GRID - Codemasters Responds to GRID Complaints Codemasters has responded to irate Race Driver: GRID fans that were stripped of their hard earned ranks in the recent server-wide reset.

"Given the number of reports we've had of people abusing the ranking system to get unfair ranks, it was only fair that we did a reset," said Rich Tysoe, Codemasters' motorsports overseer, on the community forum.

"It's never an easy decision to make, and we'd rather it hadn't come to this, but changes in the patch should make gaining those ranking points back fairer.

360 - GRID - Codemasters Has GRID Patch on the Way Codemasters has said it is busy working on a patch to stop stuttering issues in the Xbox 360 version of Race Driver: GRID. Developer boss Gavin Raeburn waded into the official forum to confirm as much, and offered a temporary solution for those of you affected.

"We're close to getting to the root of the problem and we will be including a fix and a backup workaround option (just in case) in our forthcoming patch due within the next few weeks or sooner," said Gavin "Uncle Chewy" Raeburn. "We think the issue is due to specific drive hardware, possibly with bad blocks /sectors.

"The best temporary measure is to copy your Gamertag to a memory card, remove the hard drive and run the game that way. Replays and caching will be disabled, though instant replay will still work as this caches to memory."

The Xbox 360 version appears to have the bulk of the problems, although some have reported similar issues when running the game on PC.

360 - GRID - 360 version of GRID hits the skids From Gamer.tm "It seems that not all is well with the 360 version of GRID,with gamers complaining that the game repeatedly freezes during play.

The cause of the problem appears to be the 360's hard drive. So GRID's executive producer Gavin Raeburn has told the Codemasters forum, the British developer believes that "the issue is due to specific drive hardware, possibly with bad blocks/sectors."

According to Raeburn though, Codemasters is "close to getting to the root of the problem" and that "a patch will be released as soon as [Codemasters] can get it through Microsoft [certification]."

It seems that no similar issues have been reported with the PS3 or PC versions."

360 - GRID - The Stig celebrates Race Driver: GRID launch Boomtown reports: "Top Gear's The Stig and his race driving palls had come along to lend their support to the release of Race Driver: GRID. The drivers happily revved their engines for the assembled crowd. As you might expect it was The Stig that really caught everyone's attention with many vying to say hello to the mysterious magnesium-scented tame racing driver.

Inside the store, the drivers picked up their consoles and copies of the games - The Stig with an Xbox 360 Elite fanboys will notice - before roaring off in a slightly less than legal (but thrilling) fashion northwards along Tottenham Court Road."
