== What is Dirt 5? ==

* ''DIRT 5 is a fun, amplified, off-road arcade racing experience created by Codemasters. Blaze a trail on routes across the world, covering gravel, ice, snow and sand, with a roster of cars ranging from rally icons to trucks, to GT heroes.'' []
* ''With a star-studded Career, four-player split-screen, innovative online modes, livery editor and more new features, DIRT 5 is the next generation of extreme racing.''
* ''Whilst respecting the heritage and retaining the DNA of the franchise, DIRT 5 writes a new chapter in the legacy of DIRT – bolder and braver than ever before. New features, new innovations and a fresh approach make DIRT 5 a hub of off-road racing, style and culture, where you can constantly create highlight-reel moments.''
* ''Take a trip around the world to and race on over 70+ unique routes across 10 different global locations in stunning, dynamic environments. From racing on the frozen East River in New York, to under the Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, to shining by the Northern Lights at Norway, take on opponents, the terrain and extreme, everchanging conditions.''

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Enable all cores to fix stutters, hitching, freezing, etc. ===

* '''tl;dr''' Use a program like [[Bill's Process Manager]] or [[Process Lasso]] or even [[Windows Task Manager]] to enable all cores to solve stutters, hitches, freezes, etc.
* For me, all my performance cores were selected but my e-cores were not so I enabled all P and E cores and it fixed the stuttering

	- I made the AI analyze .GTR archives and, with the help of the file format definition, it came up with the code to read and write the format. We may be able to use this AI to parse files that don't yet have parsers. Another example, is I told the app to analyze the ini-like PLR and come up with its own rules for how to safely read/write that file, since it's not fully ini format and might have deviations incompatible with off-the-shelf ini libraries. Same with GDBs and AIWs: They're custom formats but the AI was able to come up with a way to read and write them safely.		- I made the AI analyze .GTR archives and, with the help of the file format definition, it came up with the code to read and write the format.
