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.

Pity none of the Star Wars games can be reclaimed 'cause I have lots of them.

Sadly no Mac version for this once again ...

Loved playing this with my kids when they were little!

tfishell: Any tips of things to tweak if necessary?

Thiev: Start with setting game resolution close to your desktop one before launching the game. Game might panic if scaling difference would be too big ;) Video settings are linked as separate shortcut.

Other than that there is little possibility in tweaking, I'm afraid. It was a console port after all ;)
Thanks for responding! (I should mention I'm not personally interested in the game, but I figured it'd be worth asking for anyone who might find that info useful.)

How tough was it to get the game running on the test machines? Does the game use any form of emulation? Or any special in-house proprietary fixes?

Lol, damn. Better or worse or about the same to Carmageddon? (I recall that was a hell of a pain to test.)

Awesome, I've been waiting years for this. I've just bought it. It will be incredible to play it in 3D Vision + 60fps + HD resolution (like Rogue Squadron).

Got the game, runs fine(still trying to see where is that " Video settings are linked as separate shortcut. ") but I want to ask..

why I cant change my keybindings? Whenever I click either with my mouse or just press enter it shows a window "Tab is already assigned for looking back. Do you want to assign it for this too" so atm I cant change any of the keys to my liking.
