The circle is now complete… Let's do another one!

STAR WARS Episode I: Racer is now available, only on GOG.com, with a 15% launch discount until May 8, 5pm UTC.
It's back! The game that perfectly captured the high-velocity spirit of the memorable podracing sequence in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, returns. Pick your character and zoom across several challenging tracks, including the dunes of Tatooine, where young Anakin Skywalker made himself a legend.

Also, enjoy more galactic adventures through timeless, DRM-free STAR WARS classics up to 66% off in the May The 4th sale, including STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic, STAR WARS: Battlefront II (Classic, 2005), STAR WARS: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition, and STAR WARS: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter! The deals are available until May 8th, 5 PM UTC.

General Troubleshooting
-----------------------

If you're experiencing black screen / crash on launch, please try the following:

- Before starting the game, change video resolution to your desktop one (or the closest match). if that fails, try falling back to 1024x768. Video settings can be found under GOG Galaxy HERE
-- or in Start Menu HERE.
- Close any unnecessary applications running in the background, especially ones overlay-based like EVGA Precision, MSI Afterburner, GeForce Experience, FRAPS etc.
- If running multiple screen setup, try switching to a single monitor.

If none of the above helps, please send your DxDiag to our Support team HERE. The more information we have, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem.

May the Force serve you well.

korja78: Is there any way you guys would be able to get it to recognize the Steam controller if I run it through Steam? I'd really appreciate it.
I'll admit I haven't played this one, but if the game understands Xinput, you can set your desktop configuration to be an XBox controller. (There's an action set you can configure where it acts like a controller when the cursor is hidden and can be KBM when the cursor is visible.)

Does anyone know who owns this game now? After reading Wikipedia I assume that it is currently owned by Walt Disney via LucasArts (now a shell company), is this correct?

Does Electronic Arts related in any way to this title? Because they do own an exclusive license for SW themed video games.

Thanks. Not a trolling.

From the comments here about the controllers, it appears that the game doesn't support XInput, so you get issues like the merged axis for the left and right triggers on the Xbox 360 controller and no force feedback. There is a program called XInput Plus that can be used to remap the XInput controls to DirectInput ones, and with this you should then be able to split the trigger axis and get some rumble element from the Xbox 360 controller.

Impaler26: I still like hanging around the forums a bit. Or is that not allowed if i don't buy games here anymore?

;)
Of course it's allowed! :-P But it's a bit weird imho. :-P

Why did you stop buying games here? :)

Shadowcat: How does a game like THIS not include a video trailer?!? Screenshots seem like a very poor substitute.
Here you are.

Would have liked to be able to choose 3840 × 2160 as game resolution since that is my desktops resolution.
Highest available is 2560x1440 :(

As much as I would like to pretend that Episode I didn't exist, this game does look like intriguing and fun to play. Alas, I have no money so I must wishlist it for now.

Very cool release! :D
