What's changed?. The game now handles ALL aspect ratios properly. That means the game will not be horribly stretched when playing in widescreen anymore. The game now defaults to borderless windowed mode. This change gets rid of a DirectDraw bug on Windows 8 and newer, which would make the game run in a window even if fullscreen is requested, also affecting performance negatively. Fullscreen borderless windowed mode does not have any of these issues, and looks identical to real fullscreen.

Both windowed and borderless can be toggled via SPCMR2.ini file. When playing in windowed mode (borderless or not), the game can handle Alt+Tab properly now. All dependencies on registry keys have been removed. This makes the game fully portable and also fixes an occasional issue, where the game would not launch without Administrator privileges (due to an incorrect way the game was reading registry keys). Logging has been removed for good (since it would never log anything anyway). The game used to create a log file in C: which would often make the game require Administrator privileges to run. Regions can now be switched via the INI file.

Depending on the game version, it has different region directories included in CountrySpecific directory. Now, if you have more than one region installed, you can easily switch between them. Field of View can now be adjusted via the INI file. You can select any value in 30.0 - 150.0 range. Support for non-Full installation methods has been removed. On the plus side, the game will never ask for a CD now. I tried out dgVoodoo on Windows 7 with CMR2 (and CMR1)It seems to decrease the performance even more on CMR2.

For CMR1 I think it improves stability, as well adds more feature like antialising. To sad I couldn't improve resolution or FPS. It looked like it was an 800x600 resolution inside of an 1600x1200 resolution, so CMR1 maybe always any kind of resolution.As of for CMR2, I tried the Arcade mode,too. There were FPS-drops, too. It looks like there are always FPS-drops, when there are other cars on the screen.I think thats it for all the stuff I can try out on my PC. I hope there was some stuff that helpes clrearing up some issues or something like that.

This section possibly contains. Please by the claims made and adding. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ( June 2018) As with previous games in the series, Colin McRae Rally 2005 is presented as a realistic rally simulation, with players participating in rallies consisting of 70 stages spread over nine countries. There are over 30 cars available.

There is also a revised graphics and damage engine that enables paint scratches on the car, and a new 'career' mode where the player starts out in the lower club leagues and works their way up to compete with Colin McRae in his 2004 Dakar Rally Nissan Pick-Up. In 'Championship' mode the player takes the role of Colin himself competing in six rallies using any 4WD car. The game's graphic engine allows for more realistic damage effects, like broken glass and doors falling off, and a blurred vision effect if the player comes into contact with a hard object. The damage system has similarities to the one, as a damaged radiator will stall the car, and make it need to restart the engine. A slight level of customization is the ability to put your name and nationality on the window.A Mac OS X version of this game, renamed as Colin McRae Rally Mac, was published by and developed by, marking the first Colin McRae series game for the (now macOS). It was released on 26 October 2007, just six weeks after McRae's death in a helicopter crash. The development of the game was fraught with problems., some behind-the-scenes changes at Feral and other issues conspired to keep Colin McRae Rally Mac from being released until fairly late into 2007, despite it being based on PC-game underpinnings that Windows gamers had been enjoying since late 2004.

Feral chose to make this release as independent of the PC franchise as possible to avoid any issues that might date it, calling it 'Colin McRae Rally Mac' rather than attaching a year to it. Two versions of this game were created, a N-Gage title developed by and a J2ME title developed by and published by Digital Bridges. The N-Gage version reused stages from Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Both were nominated for BAFTAs in the Mobile and Handheld categories respectively. The PlayStation Portable version was ported to Japan under the name Colin McRae Rally ( コリン・マクレー ラリー, Korin Makurē Rarī) and published by Interchannel-Holon on 14 June 2007.
