Blur

Finally Blur is available for us on the PC. In order to get it working with your logitect rumblepad 2 / dual action game pad, all you need to do is ...

copy the files of x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the installed directory like :

\Program Files\Activision\Blur(TM)

Now, after completing "Split Second", I'm ready to take on this racer. To see if it got what it takes to make it to the top... so far it looks pretty good.

Edit: after playing it for a while, it just don't feels like this game is going to make the top list. It's not my kind of racing... I'm more into the "Split Second" kind of racing type... So do try this for a while before you buy it, so you wont be dissappointed... I'm going to give this a few more hours to see if it'll get any better down the line... But the "power-ups" make this game feel more like a "kids" game than anything else...

  2. Use x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.1 instead of 3.1.4.0 and you can use R2 and L2 buttons too. Worked for me.

  4. I've just played it. The graphics are significantly worse than those of Split/Second (I'm able to run Blur with full specs, unlike Split/Second). Being a long time Mario Kart fan and player, I can guarantee this game is no way as fun as Mario Kart. I actually had more fun playing Death Track Resurrection than playing Blur.

    All in all it's a decent game, but Split/Second is still the best alternative to Burnout.

    Oh, btw, I also tried what T. said with my Cordless RumblePad 2 and it works like a charm! Thanks!

  5. For me Split/Second runs smoother than Blur, strange... And your right, It's more addictive than Blur, Split/Second got that feeling of wanting to return to, and try to complete all tracks as #1. While after a few hours of Blur, it just don't give me that feeling...

    I'll start using vibmod 3.1.4.1, but I think I stuck with 3.1.4.0 as it was stable enough to get the job done... I think the L2 / R2, it's just a matter of configuration in the .ini file.

  9. Check the .ini file, and make sure you set the index for 2 pads.

  17. I know how to make 2 game pads working together finally, taking me half an hour.

    Step 1:
    Download x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.1

    Step 2:
    Please read "readme", it teaches you how to get your VIP and PID for your game-pad, especially important when using two pads.

    Step 3:
    x360ce.ini
    xinput1_3.dll
    XInputTest.exe
    Copy the above to C:\Program Files\Activision\Blur(TM)

    Step 4:
    Open x360ce.ini with Notepad
    Change the following, if my 1st gamepad got 046D VID and C219 PID; 2nd gamepad got 046D VID and C212 PID.

    [PAD1]
    Index=0
    VID=0x046D
    PID=0xC219

    [PAD2]
    Index=1
    VID=0x046D
    PID=0xC212
    Left Trigger=7
    Right Trigger=8
    ( Because by fault, Left and Right Trigger values are different at [PAD2])

    Step 5:
    Double click XInputTest.exe
    Test every button especially and enjoy the game!

  18. hello,

    i have a big problem. i have configered my ini-file for 4 logitech rumblepad 2 gamepads and they are working fine. but when i unplugg 2 of them and only want to play with 2 the game beginns to get very slow.

    so when i have installed in the ini 4 gamepads and have only 2 plugged in there is a problem.

    is there a way to fix this except of changing the ini-file every time i start the game? let the 4 gamepads plugged in is not a solution.

    thx

  20. Hello, I tryed to adjust PID/VID but both Gamecontrollers have the same Value ( Human Interface Devices entries) how is this possible?

    Is it possible to change these PID/VID's manually?

    ReplyDelete
  21. It works!!!
    But what fill I in by de third gamepad???

    [PAD1]
    Index=0
    VID=0x046D
    PID=0xC219

    [PAD2]
    Index=1
    VID=0x046D
    PID=0xC212
    Left Trigger=7
    Right Trigger=8
    ( Because by fault, Left and Right Trigger values are different at [PAD2])

  22. *Guys..remind that you MUST match the number of gamepads you used with the config in x360ce.ini that you enable. Or the game will crash itself.

    Index=-1 is the way to disable it.

    *If you use more than 2 gamepads, I guess you should set the Index by numeric order, say 0,1,2,3.
    So your third gamepad config will be:
    [PAD3]
    Index=2
    VID=0x046D
    PID=0xC214
    Left Trigger=7
    Right Trigger=8

    *PID/VID should be different for different gamepad since it is their unique ID. Read the instruction of how to get VID/PID of your gamepad.

    ReplyDelete
