General information
Art of rally is a stylized experience inspired by the golden era of rally from the creator of Absolute DriftRace across the world through colorful and stylized environments in top-down view.Compete for first place in the leaderboards with daily and weekly challenges.Will you master the art of. Mac has long been referred to as the “Creative’s workshop.” The idea that most graphic designers, interior designers, video animators, and architects are more drawn to Mac may hold water to an extent. Mac attracts creatives for either of two reasons – as the traditional tool they’ve always used or its perceived high performance standards.

Issues fixed[edit]
Mech won't stop turning[edit]
Change joystick timing setting[citation needed]
Edit the DOSBox configuration file; for the GOG.com version this is dosboxShatteredSteel.conf.
Change timed=true to timed=false (if it is already set to this, try timed=true instead).
Save your changes and run the game again.
If problems persist ensure the in-game axis handling (Incremental or Absolute) matches the real axis.
SOUNDSET.EXE says it can't find the setup file (GOG.com)[edit]
Create a setup.ini[4]
Create a setup.ini file in the game installation folder and paste this text into it and save it:
'World1.pol not found' error[edit]
This issues commonly occurs if you installed the game on an older version of Windows without restarting in MS-DOS mode then attempt to run the game from DOS there after.[5]
Edit file DIR.FLT[citation needed]
Change the various paths and drive letters to Shattered Steel's install location ensuring they're 8.3 name compatible.You could also replace them with . though this requires having the game's directory be the current active one.
