DAKAR 18 Physics mod and Tweaks

* MODDED RWD vehicles (3008, JCW Buggy) are almost impossible to drive using the keyboard. Use a gamepad or steering wheel (highly recommended).

How to play Richard Burns Rally on Steam Deck (Steam OS, Vanilla Physics)

Richard Burns Rally play on Steam Deck (SteamOS, Vanilla physics)

*This guide is only for VANILLA PHYSICS version.

1. Download my RBRRTP Pack and unzip.

(on SteamDeck Desktop mode with Fire Fox browser)

https://lezarbr.blogspot.com/2021/03/richad-burns-rally-rtp-pack-vanilla.html

2.In SteamDeck desktop mode, run Steam.

3.Add RichardBurnsRally_SSE.exe and JSGME.exe (mod installer) via 'Add Game' located at the bottom left of Steam.

4.Set compatibility of RichardBurnsRally_SSE.exe to <Proton 9.0-3>

JSGME.exe to <Proton Experimental>

*Please note that the modinstaller only runs in desktop mode.*

5.Run JSGME and make sure to disable Reshade.

Or, you can delete d3d9.dll in the RBR folder.

*Reshade does not work on SteamOS and cause the game crash.

6.(Optional) Opens RBRfolder/Misc/LM_Driver.ini

Change the line

(recommended 30~50)

[Settings]

Max Steeringwheel degrees = 45

7.*IMPORTANT*

Opens RichardBurnsRally.ini and change the resolutions.

XRes = 1280

YRes = 800

8.Unfortunately, RBRCIT (Car installer) is not working on SteamOS.

So if you want to change the carlist,

Install the desired car using RBRCIT on your Windows.

Then copy the following 4 files to your RBR folder in Steamdeck (use a USB stick):

RBRfolder/Audio/Cars/Cars.ini

RBRfolder/Cars/Cars.ini

RBRfolder/<Physics> folder

RBRfolder/physics.rbz

9.Also, BTB track plugin is not working.

You can play only 'original format' track include mod stage.

This is mean you can play every stages on RBRcz mappack on Steamdeck.

10.I shared my controller settings to Steam Layout option.

+ Button -> Keyboard Arrow key

L4 -> ESC

R4 -> ENTER

L5 -> Left mouse

R5 -> Right mouse

Triange -> S Key (for tuning option on RBRTM plugin)

R3 -> Tilt Control on/off (*very useful on Tarmac stages)

11.Options - Controls - Controller Setup

Here is my settings.

*2 analog sticks are cannot separated two axis. So, you should bind the L2/R2 to <Accelerate and Brake>.

12.Options - Controls - Filter Settings.

This is important settings for better control experience with Steamdeck analog stick.

Steering - Axis

Throttle - Axis

Footbrake - Axis

*CAR TUNING GUIDE*

This game is difficult to drive because of the overpowered vehicles and lack of gravity. However, I cannot agree with the opinion that it is 'impossible to drive'.

The fundamental problem is that the basic tuning values of the vehicles are a mess. (Especially the Gravel Tuning)

This means that if you can properly modify the tuning values for each vehicle, you can drive enjoyable.

These settings are generally the same for any 4WD vehicles.

It is even okay to apply the exact same tuning values, as RBR's vanilla physics do not fully embody the characteristics of the vehicle.

Differential Torque

To reduce oversteer, lower the rear value by 100 or more.

Dampers

In particular, Gravel defaults are a mess.

In the gravel,

Lowering bump to 2.5~3.5

Lowering fast bump to 4~6

Lowering threshold to 0.3

In general for Springs, it is better if the front have slightly higher values than the rear.

The Tarmac is fine even if you just lower the threshold.

Default values

Modified values

Springs

Also, default is not good.

Length - +20~30 on gravel

Stiffness - -15~20 on gravel

Default values

Modified values

Rollbar (for Gravel)

Default value is too much stiffness.

Lower as much as possible.

Geometry

Generally, camber is between -2 and -1.5, and toe is around -0.2.

Lowering your tire pressure will greatly improved tire grip.

Brake bias is very important (especially for analogs of steam decks).

Reduce rear brakes and increase front brakes so that the front/rear ratio is around 75:25.

Gear ratio is always <Short>

How to play MechWarrior Series on WIN10

There are a ton of manuals for playing the MW series on current gen PCs. Here I will summarize the methods and information I used.

*MechWarrior Quadrology

https://archive.org/download/MechWarriorQuadrology

This is a launcher made by a Russian game team. You can play the MW series on Windows 10 without any problems with this pack. When you unpack it, your antivirus may misidentify 3 files as viruses. However, this is not a virus, but a problem caused by Dgvoodoo.

If you have faith for this pack, I think this launcher is the best MW pack over the net.

*Alternatively, there are install guides for each series on Reddit's page.

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechwarrior/wiki/index/

=MechWarrior 2=

MW2 Far Patcher (More view distance)

*I set to 3000m and working perfectly!

http://www.mech2.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=572#p572

If you can't trust Quadrology, here is another way.

*MechWarrior 2 Portable (DOS version)

https://old.reddit.com/r/mechwarrior/comments/eatbyd/mechwarrior_2_portable/

*MechWarrior 2 - 16:9 Widescreen patch for MS-DOS version

https://www .reddit.com/r/mechwarrior/comments/bb5260/mechwarrior_231stcgblmercs_widescreen_mod_msdos/

*If you want to Windows version or Titanium Trilogy version, use the MW2 installer.

I'm installing and enjoying Titanium on Windows 10 with this.

https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=86716

*How to play the MW2 : 3DFX version

1)Get the MW2 Pentium version from the link and install it using the MW2 installer.

2)Download the 3dfx conversion file from here, and copy/paste to MW2 folder.

3)Download and install the nGlide.

*Joystick ID change

MechWarrior2(Windows) and HeavyGear1 require that the main controller be assigned as the #1 controller. If you use multiple controllers, you may often find that your HOTAS changes to a different ID. This makes it easier to recognize your HOTAS as the #1.

https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13009

*Joystick HIDE

Classic simulations -including MechWarrior- can only recognize one joystick. After recognizing HOTAS as #1 with the app above, use HIDHIDE to hide the rest of the controllers before running the game.

https://github.com/nefarius/HidHide/releases/tag/v1.5.230.0

=MechWarrior 3=

*MW3 FOV fix (Widescreen or Multi-Monitor)

https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2621-mechwarrior-3-fov-fix/

*if you installed the MW3 with Quadrology and want to 21:9 or more wider aspect ratio, do not use the Quadrology MW3 launcher. (Install is okay)

1.Instead MW3 launcher, download the dgvoodoo and extract the files to MW3 main folder.

2.Go to MS\x86 folder and copy all files to MW3 main folder and use the FOV fix.

Below method is only for multi-monitors

3.On Dgvoodoo, select the 'Windowed / Stretched' on General tab on dgvoodoo.

4.Maybe you can't use the mouse cursor when you run the game. Press Control+Alt+Delete to launch Task Manager. This will show your mouse cursor and you can adjust its position on the screen.

=MechWarrior 4=

*MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries : MekTek version

https://archive.org/details/mek-tek

*On the WIN10, go to Assets\binaries and delete the imagehlp.dll

How to use your modern controller on MW3, MW4

This method is for the MW5, but you can also enjoy the MW3,4 with this tool.

https://github.com/evilC/MW5HOTAS?tab=readme-ov-file

Actually, I can use the analog pedals with this method but it doesn't bring the FFB (I don't know why T^T) so I'm still use the pedals on digital input with JoyToKey.

*But one more important thing.

https://github.com/nefarius/HidHide

This game is super old, so it can recognize only ONE controller. So hide all of controllers for except the main controller with HidHide before run the game.
