DiRT Showdown Message Board  

Why you cant run the AVX mode of showdown:

AVX is a Floating Point (for SSE) algorithm that can do 1x 256bit SSE executions in one cycle or 2x 128bit (or 4x 64bit) in one cycle. Its present in SandyBridge, IvyBridge and AMD FX Bulldozer.
Any earlier cpu can do only 1x 128bit (or 2x 64bit) in one cycle. So this means if you DONT have the processors above you CANT run the showdown_AVX.exe

So there you go, the game makers aint stupid. You just have to upgrade the CPU if you want to run the AVX mode.
This ALSO means that if you can't play on AVX mode the trainer aint working for you eather!!

Glad I could help ( a bit late but yeah )

i ran the avx version by using avx executable and the trainer just plain dont work

Disable/uninstall AV

Check the game version - may updated so you need updated game.

Make sure that Numpad lock is enabled.
