DiRT 3 Complete Edition Available Now [Free upgrade for existing DiRT 3 owners]

[justbiglee]

Hi all,

First up I want to say sorry for just how long it has taken to move DiRT 3 to Steamworks and I would also like to thank you all for keeping up the pressure on us to move it over. Every day I have over a hundred notifications on my Steam account, there are threads thousands of comments deep about it and countless Tweets and Facebook messages - while you’d think it would be the kind of thing that would bug the hell out of me, you’d be wrong.

It just goes to show that you guys love DiRT and care about it a lot; I’m hoping you’ll bring that passion with you for where we’re going next...

...Anyway before I get into trouble, I’m pleased to announce that DiRT 3 is now available with 100% less Games for Windows Live.

As a thank you for your patience over this last year we’ll be upgrading everybody who owns DiRT 3 to the DiRT 3 Complete Edition, which will include all of our DLC for no extra cost.

If you currently have the GFWL version of DiRT 3 in your Steam Library you will shortly have access to the DiRT 3 Complete Edition which will appear in your list of owned games. To play it simply select it from your library and click install. (If you are checking just after I post this give it a while to filter through)

However if you own a boxed PC copy of DiRT 3 or have a Games For Window Live CD Key you can now activate that CD key on Steam.

To do so simply follow the below steps:

• Load up your Steam Client
• Click “Add a game” found in the bottom left of the window
• Click “Activate a product on Steam”
• Click “Next”
• Follow the instructions and when asked enter your CD Key into the “Product Code” box (be sure to use CAPS and include the hyphens)
• Hit “Next”
• Your code will then be verified and the DiRT 3 Complete Edition will be added to your library
• And you’re good to go!

Those who originally purchased the game via Steam will notice that the now old GFWL version of DiRT 3 will still be in your library. You will still be able to play this version but it will still include Games for Windows Live and you won’t have access to the Complete Edition content in the old version – nothing will have changed with that older version.

Due to the differences with the two versions unfortunately your save files will not be compatible with each other. We know it sucks and we are sorry but it was unavoidable.

As an added bonus if you also happen to own a Mac you will now have access to the DiRT 3 Complete Edition via Steam on that too.

And of-course we’ve also included a set of Steam Trading cards for you to collect and added all of the original DiRT 3 achievements.

Finally thank you again for sticking with us and a big thank you to the rather awesome people at Feral Interactive who helped us with the work.

Keep it lit.

How about giving us some game save converter from GFWL version? Sucks to start career from beginning. Almost finished it on GFWL version.

Lee, now that everyone has the DLC, is the DLC integrated into the MP matchmaking or is it still only available in custom matches?

Absolutely amazing stuff! Can't wait to have a crazy Dirt 3 session later on, hopefully it is unlocked ASAP on Steam! You guys have made my day... Heck, my week (Revision sucks...) :P

Btw, as someone who has over 500 hours of play time on Dirt 3 (Steam and Games for Windows Live times combined) I would just like to say that the singeplayer section of Dirt is fantastic no complaints whatsoever, maybe some new cars/maps etc; standard stuff :D With that being said, the multiplayer section is what myself and my friends enjoy the most by far! We play Dirt 3 probably once every evening and the enjoyment that the different party game modes provide is insurmountable; we just have SO much fun. Now that's out of the way, here's to hoping Dirt 4 still has Multiplayer Party Game Modes (But they had better not be anything like Dirt Showdown...). Looking forward to hearing what you guys are working toward soon! ;)
