‘It has been many months of hard work to get to this moment.’

A Reddit user may have discovered how to play the beloved racing title on NVIDIA without random crashing (perhaps could work for AMD as well?).

I’m a sucker when it comes to racing games. Not so much the simulation type, but more so the arcade-y racers with weapons. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, PocketCars, and GRIP are just a few examples. It’s thrilling action that’s almost akin to fighting games. The Wipeout series is another example. It was certainly an excellent IP at its’ core. Anit-gravity racing machines loaded with turrets, mines, EMPs, the whole nine yards, set in a futuristic era.

It’s a pretty audacious title to have for a game. First, it makes the pronoun “you,” rather than “we” or “they.” You suck at parking! Second, it claims that you already suck at parking, even though you haven’t even played the game. And yet, I have to admit, true to the name of the game, I suck at parking. You Suck at Parking is basically a game where you control a car, and your goal is to get it parked in the desiginated area.

DRAG is a tough-as-nails racing game that’s available natively on Linux. It went to Steam in early access, and it hasn’t been updated in over a year (and unsurprisingly, the developers didn’t get back to me when I asked on their Discord how progress was coming along). But now it seems like we’ve finally got an update. Not an actual software update; just a general update on what the roadmap for the game is.

The Steam Racing Fest kicks off this week and lasts till May 30 at 10 AM PST. A great number of racing titles are available at a discount. Native games include: DRAG - 75% off DiRT 4 - 70% off DiRT Rally - 70% off PocketCars - 40% off Road Redemption - 60% off Super Indie Karts - 64% off Steel Rats - 90% off Descenders - 60% off If you don’t mind using Valve’s Proton compatibility layer, there’s the following:

If you have GRID Legends but have been tired of the constant crashing on NVIDIA graphics cards, well, I may very well have a solution to that. The TL;DR of this article is essentially: add dxvk.conf to the game’s installation directory, then add dxgi.nvapiHack = False to get rid of the AMD driver error on launch Use Medium graphics settings or lower to avoid crashes I got GRID Legends as part of my subscription to EA Play.
