DiRT 3 Complete Edition App Reviews

This game used to crash right after clicking the play button on the pre-game screen... but I’ve found the fix! Open the GameCentre app on you Mac and: 1. Sign into GameCentre using your Apple ID if you are not already. 2. Click Account -> Settings in the GameCentre menu bar and uncheck “nearby players” I did this and the game has worked flawlessly ever since! Went from a 1 star rating to a 5 star rating!

Apps like this in the app store make me dislike apple more each day. Crashes on load every time - seems apple software is now plauged with garbage.

Just bought it and havnt even played it, how is it right to do this. It crashes before anything can load and all I can see is the loading screen in the beginning. this is uncool.

Stupendous graphis. Intuitive controls. Wonderful scenery. Immersive. Cars and engine options are top notch. Terrific interface and AI. Great developer. Excellent customer support.

It crashes like every time i try to open the game, and there is no one who knows how to fix it. Hope they update soon, getting frustrated, great game so frustrated.

I love this game, but ever since El Capitan, it crashes every time. Please fix, even 10.11.2 doesn’t fix the crash.

Brand new Mac here, paid 20$ for Dirt3 and it crash as soon as the app starts! I can’t beleive this passed Apple approval process.

Just purchase the game. Doesnt start at all, crashes after connecting to game center succesfully. Want my money back.

It is the best rally/race game. It works like a charm on iMac 27 Retina with OS X Yosemite. I set the resolution to 2560x1440 and the game is smooth and very playable. Works with Logitech G25 (and probably G27) but you need to configure the wheel using setting menu. iMac 27 Retina (4.0 GHz, AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB, 32GB RAM) 2560x1440. All settings: high/max Avarage frame rate: 61. Minimum frame rate: 51 Zdecydowanie polecam. Piotr

The game is great. Exensive but the graphics make itt worth it. I have a monitor that goes to 1080 x 1920 and the goes there but its a bit laggy at that resolution. In multiplayer they have so much option in how you customize the game but in sigle player you have so little option. No force manual gears or picking your damage in full and and your difficulty. This game has such good graphics and I only have a macbook air with 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 and 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and Intel HD Graphics 5000. Would have gave 5 stars if there was more option in single player. Best game on the app store for sure!

I have a 21.5-inch iMac, Late 2012, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB, 1 TB Fusion Drive, running 10.10 This game looks incredible, sounds amazing, and plays like a dream. As with many steering games its best experienced with a wheel or controller/joystick for smooth turning. It has a campaign mode and online multiplayer. The narrators can even speak your name to you. Like previous versions, it comes with a built-in in-game benchmarking feature so I ran a few benchmarks for your comparison. While the game supports many resolutions and graphics options I tested a few standard fullscreen and widescreen resolutions using the included graphics presets. I ran each test twice and as you’d expect the results were usually similar but always different so use these numbers more as a general reference and not exact numbers to expect in every race. I’m showing the minimum and average frames per second (fps) for each test. V-Sync was off. Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Widescreen 16:9 Aspect Ratio) Settings: Automatic: Min~30 Avg~36, Ultra: Min~16 Avg~19, High: Min~21 Avg~33, Medium: Min~32 Avg~41, Low: Min~51 Avg~80, Ultra Low: Min~67 Avg~92 Resolution: 1600 x 900 (Widescreen 16:9 Aspect Ratio) Settings: Automatic: Min~40 Avg~48, Ultra: Min~35 Avg~42, High: Min~36 Avg~43, Medium: Min~40 Avg~49, Low: Min~49 Avg~88, Ultra Low: Min~69 Avg~103 Resolution: 1344 x 756 (Widescreen 16:9 Aspect Ratio) Settings: Automatic: Min~42 Avg~51, Ultra: Min~38 Avg~44, High: Min~38 Avg~46, Medium: Min~42 Avg~51, Low: Min~71 Avg~100, Ultra Low: Min~72 Avg~104 Resolution: 1024 x 768 (Fullscreen 4:3 Aspect Ratio) Settings: Automatic: Min~42 Avg~51, Ultra: Min~40 Avg~47, High: Min~40 Avg~48, Medium: Min~42 Avg~52, Low: Min~61 Avg~90, Ultra Low: Min~65 Avg~100 Resolution: 800 x 600 (Fullscreen 4:3 Aspect Ratio) Settings: Automatic: Min~45 Avg~58, Ultra: Min~42 Avg~51, High: Min~43 Avg~51, Medium: Min~47 Avg~59, Low: Min~56 Avg~89, Ultra Low: Min~68 Avg~100 Resolution: 640 x 480 (Fullscreen 4:3 Aspect Ratio) Settings: Automatic: Min~45 Avg~54, Ultra: Min~36 Avg~43, High: Min~37 Avg~45, Medium: Min~43 Avg~54, Low: Min~56 Avg~58, Ultra Low: Min~69 Avg~101 Note that this game has excellent handling of resolutions and aspect ratios meaning you can play at a resolution that is typically used for fullscreen in a widescreen aspect ratio without stretching the image. To clarify, you can fill a 16:9 screen with a 4:3 resolution without warping the image. This would only ever be done in very uncommon situations but it’s possible. It’s all about aspect ratio. You can choose it or let the game auto decide the best aspect ratio for you. If you see extensive image/screen tearing while playing it might be that your video card is rendering frames faster than your monitor can display them. You can always enable vertical sync and that will lock your framerate to a multiple of your monitor’s refresh rate. This generally means that if your monitor has a refresh rate of 60 Hz (60 drawn frames per second) and your GPU cannot run the game solid at 60 fps it will automatically bump down your framerate to 30 fps or a lower multiple. Hope this helps!

I wish they did away with it altogether, but this is a step in the right direction. Get rally tracks! Amazing graphics. I didn’t like the controls at first, but I altered the advanced wheel adjustment stuff and it now feels quite right. Thanks for releasing this.

Running on mid-2013 MBA 11” with 1.7GHz i7, 8Gb RAM, and all the other standards for the model and it runs beautifully. No stuttering or hesitation at all. I hated Dirt 2. HATED, HATED, HATED. I’m more the old Colin McRae actual rally driving stuff and this game brings it back, only better looking and better sounding and a whole lot more fun. No more cardboard cut-out people standing on the side. The Gymkhana, however, kind of ruins it for me because it is required to get through it when what I want to do is rally race. Tricks and racing are two different things, so I wish they would make it so that you can set to ignore what you don’t care for so you can focus on what you like. Gymkhana, in my opinion, teaches no skills to use while rallying. Just watch the real KB when he tries to compete WRC. Not exactly impressive Using a PS4 controller thru Bluetooth has been flawless. It was hard to make the leap, paying the price. I wish Feral offered a demo to make sure it was even going to work on my computer. But now that I have it, I wish I had bought it sooner.

This game is awesome as Ive played it before on windows, But when I tried it on a Mac Its so much laggy, Also it crashes alot. Such a waste ...

It does’t run on my mac book air from 2014. Once i open the pre game and press play it says it opening the game but all it does is glitch my computer out.

Back in 2008, Codemasters released Colin McRae: DiRT 2. The game was a hit, featuring revolutionary graphics and lots of content with a punk-rock attitude. Three years later, DiRT 3 was released, and right off the bat, it was apparent the game had grown up. Gone were the grungy trailers, camera glitches, andinter-driver banter. They were replaced with new cars, more rally content, and a consuming menu design made up of triangles. I’ll break everything down so we don’t get lost along the way. ***It is very important to remember that this game was released in 2011, and has now been remastered and re-released on the Mac App Store four years later.*** Gameplay: Right from the start, DiRT 3 plays a lot like all of Codies other games. This is both a good and bad thing. It is easy to understand and makes sure you know what is going on, however, if you’re a veteran DiRT player, all the prompts and text and voiceovers will start to get on your nerves. You start as a rising driver, who has been signed and introduced to some entry level off-road events, and as you advance up the ladder, you unlock new sponsors, series, and ultimately, new seasons. The various disciplines are just as they were in DiRT 2 (rally, trailblazer, landrush, and rallycross), as well as the addition of Head to Head and Gymkhana events. Graphics and Audio: The graphics are great, exactly how I remember them from the PS3 version, and can easily be changed to run smoother if necessary. I found that on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro, I could run my game on mid to high settings with about 30-40 fps. Similarly, DiRT 3 runs barely over 30 on mid settings. The cars look great, and the inclusion of all DLC is a good selling point. The sounds are on point, as good as, if not better, than it’s predicessor. And the soundtrack? It is so on-point, you will not believe. The Drawbacks: As with anything good, it’s hindered by something bad. In DiRT 3’s case, it’s the overwhelming need to connect you to social media, more specifically, YouTube. All of this is because of your overzealous agent, Christian, who is the steryotypical American, embarrassing slang and all. I didn’t mind him in DiRT 2, but here, where he is upfront and “important.” It isn’t a deal breaker, but it is extremely annoying. The Verdict: DiRT 3 makes good corrections to the rally formula. It added more rally, more cars, and improved on the faults featured in DiRT 2. Despite it’s drawbacks, it easily gets a 9/10.

I have never written a review before, but after playing this game I felt I had to. I am playing on my 27” iMac with all graphics and details on Ultra and I can honestly say this game has the best graphics I have ever seen. However, it is not the graphics alone that make this game so enjoyable, the physics and driving experience are so incredibly realistic and really quite amazing. I have also never paid this much for an app but after playing Dirt 3 I would glady pay more as would equite this game to purchaing a game on Xbox One or PS4. With limited options for very high quality gaming experiences on my Mac this is a very refreshing experience. Finally a Mac game that really puts the large screen and performace of this desktop to good use. A++ all around, best gaming app I have every played hands down.

This is my favorite racing game. It is one of the only racing games I know that is purely a RACING game. There’s no game currency to earn. You don’t purchase cars, or paint them, or put sponsor badges on them. You just choose an available car (from a “team” that wants you to race for them) and go. This is SUCH a relief, after so many games that are car-buying and fake-money-earning games more than they are racing games. And isn’t this a bit more realistic, after all? Race drivers in the real world don’t usually race cars that they own. The races and rally stages etc. are all well done and fun. Being able to race historical rally cars is a blast.

First, I love the offroad premise, the cars, the graphics, the sound, etc. The only problem is the game is designed for consoles where the only support for turning a wheel left and right is for buttons. Even if you do buy a wheel, and I tried buying two separate brand-new expensive wheels, all the wheel does is the equivalent of pushing those buttons, so there’s no relationship between the amount you turn the wheel and where the car goes. Ok, no wheels, fine. What about mouse support? None. The only thing you’ve got on the Mac is keyboard buttons, and the minum steering input you can get is about 10 degrees, meaning the car veers left and then veers right, careening all over the place. Even Mario Kart has smoother controls. So, we’re left with a cool-looking driving game with cool cars, and the crappiest control system I’ve ever seen on any driving game.
