While Codemasters are hard at work on the second patch for their recently-released F1 2011 title, the studio is also not done supporting DiRT 3 as a new PC patch for the rally title has been released.

 The patch weighs 503mb introduces various little fixes and improvements as listed below, DiRT 3 was released back in May 2011 and a first patch followed in June.

Changelog

-Resolved an issue which could prevent the user successfully saving with profiles that contained unicode characters.
-UI elements are no longer incorrectly displayed in Gymkhana
-Improvements to input system, supporting multi-device action maps. The user can now set button configurations to span multiple devices; previously a bug would cause these settings to be lost upon game restart.
-Corrected various spelling mistakes across all languages
-Reset line corrections to prevent potential ‘out of world’ or ‘driving into crowd’ issues on several tracks
-Corrected an issue which could, in rare circumstances, prevent the display from rendering in the event of 16xCSAA being selected.

It appears that Codemasters have greatly improved the 3D Vision support in the new PC Patch 1.02 for the game DiRT 3, although they do not say anything specific in the release notes for the patch regarding stereoscopic 3D support. So if you’ve postponed playing the game in stereo 3D mode due to the various issues it had before patch 1.02 was released, now you can try it again, it should be handling great in stereo 3D mode with 3D Vision.
