Strange, it works on Win 10 fine for me. On the first start, steam client installs additional software (OpenAl if memory serves). Maybe you skipped that step?

Directory may be different . Example: ( D ):\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grid,
( E ):\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grid ,

different combinations.... ( Note: search using.... word to be searched: "Grid" ( Grid word note: only folder. ) )

Ty for help. I solved problem by uploading Grid.exe on onedrive, then I paste it to direction.
now works perfectly... ty for help :)

I don't know if any of this will help, but below is most of the troubleshooting tips from the original readme:

> ii) The game does not launch

If you find that the game fails to start and does not display the GRID logo, we recommend altering the properties of the GRID application shortcut and adding the argument –novirtual to the end of the “Target:” box. For example:

"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\GRID\GRID.exe" -novirtual

This fixes an issue with certain Antivirus software and users running on XP64.

iii) I changed my graphics settings – now the game won’t boot!

If you changed your graphics settings and now can’t get into the game – don’t panic! This can occur if you enable an option unsupported by your graphics card, or set the resolution beyond what can be handled by your monitor. GRID™ includes a ‘Safe Mode’ to help under such circumstances, which can either be run using the shortcut under the start menu in Windows XP, or by right-clicking the game in the Games Explorer in Windows Vista, or else by launching the game using the ‘–safemode’ parameter. Safe Mode will simply boot the game using the lowest possible resolution and graphics settings, so that any PC meeting the minimum spec should be able to at least reach the options menu to rectify the problem. Alternatively, simply delete the hardware_settings_config.xml file, and the game will generate a new one the next time it is run.

iv) Visible shearing/tearing

You may experience tearing across the picture. This can be avoided by turning on 'vsync' which is available from the advanced graphical options menu. Please note that this may reduce the performance of the game, and so is disabled by default.

v) Poor frame-rate

GRID™ has been designed with multi-core processors in mind, and as such will run significantly better when one is available. If you are running in Vista, the game may also require a larger amount of RAM than if you were running in XP.

If the game runs at an unsatisfactory framerate, try turning off some graphics systems from the graphics options menu. Mirrors and Wind Effects can both be disabled for a significant performance increase with little loss in visual fidelity.

More advanced users may want to tweak the settings in the hardware_settings_config xml file, located in your savegame directory. Turning down the shadow mask quality to 0 has been found to provide good framerate improvements for those with older graphics cards.

vi) The game looks stretched/squashed!

Check that the aspect ratio and resolution settings that you are using are supported by and are applicable to the monitor you are using.

vii) Graphical Corruption Warning!

Using extremely high resolutions on Graphics Cards with less than 512MB of memory may result in graphical corruption. To resolve these issues simply run the game using the safe mode executable.

viii) Why can’t I choose a higher screen resolution?

Higher resolutions require large amounts off video RAM. If GRID detects that your primary graphics card has less than 512MB of RAM, higher resolutions will be made unavailable to avoid poor performance and potential graphical issues.

ix) Is ATI’s Crossfire or NVIDIA’s SLI supported?

Unfortunately, due to the working of GRID’s engine, systems which link two or more graphics cards (i.e. Crossfire or SLI) are not implicitly supported. This means you may not see a performance boost from having the second card, and you may even have trouble running the game. If GRID is failing to start properly and your system is SLI or Crossfire enabled, try disabling the technology in either NVIDIA’s or ATI’s control panel in Windows and see if this helps. <
