RBR CD or DVD

by Aaron Markha » Sun, 12 Sep 2004 04:38:09

I ordered RBR from www.sendit.com and the website says it's PC-CDROM but I've only heard of it being on DVD. I was wondering if anybody knows if RBR is available on PC-CDROM or not so I can buy a DVD drive before it arrives.

The official web site seems to suggest that both CD and DVD versions may be available.

Be safe buy a DVD drive.

Hi Aaron,

I think it's DVD only (the box shot on amazon.de said PC-CDROM, but it
turned out to be a DVD-ROM). DVD-only goes along with the min space
requirements of 3,2 Gigs nicely, too ;-)

Cheers & good luck,

uwe

Hi, Uwe,

I ordered RBR from sendit.com, but it's now "On order" again.
Damn, I wanna play that sim NOW, so I'm gonna cancel. But before
I buy the German release, I'd like to know if it's multi-language
(incl. English) or is it just in German?

greetings
ronny

Hi Ronny,

Installation offers three languages: english, french and german. Make
sure you don't have a SiS 735 based mobo or a TSW2 wheel though as
there seem to be known problems in those circumstances.

Cheers,

uwe

Thanks for the answer, but too late. I just HAD to rush to Mediamarkt
and grab it with my sweaty little hands... and it runs on my PC!

I hope you get it working on your PC soon, as it's really the GPL of
rally sims. And this is not teasing you, just my first impression. ;)

Thanks for not teasing me, as I've now got it working half way (albeit
the brake pedal) on my system. It really is a nice sim with a high fun
factor, and I really like the fact that you can choose english
navigator language in a german install. Just sounds "righter" than
having him waffling away in german ;-)

cheers,
uwe

Good news minus controller config. Why the hell do they always have
problems with that? It's really not rocket science, esp. using DirectX.
A few axis and a couple of buttons... ;)

Well, as most Motorsports, Rally is international -> everybody speaks
English. And just remembering the "fine" translations I "enjoyed" over
the years in flight sims: yikes!
