If you have just started playing Codemaster’s Dirt 2 and found that you are unable to enter a profile name when asked to, there is an easy fix.
The Problem
When I was preparing to write my Dirt 2 article for the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel, I found that I was unable to change my profile name from “Player One.” I could click on the first and last name and hear a click, but nothing would happen.
The Reason
As it turns out, the Windows Live interface is tied to the profile name and has to open a window when the field is edited. This window, for one reason or another, cannot be opened when a game controller is attached under Dirt 2 version 1.0.

Profile Setup
The Solution
I simply unplugged my steering wheel, restarted the game, and was able to type into my profile. Of course, this was all before I patched my game to version 1.1. After patching the game, you are able to edit your profile name with the peripheral connected.

Nice one SolidlyStated, I’ve had this problem ever since I had to do a re-installation & had no idea it was to do with my G27 & I’ve just now sorted my game & I’m no longer “Player 1” so no more pulling my hair out.
Ps:Just off to checkout your G27 stuff as there’s bound to be something to learn & thanks again.
I think you should also mention the fact that the player needs to do the first race with a keyboard or at least I did as the game won’t save before the end of the first race, I know because the first time I did it, I then plugged my G27 in & obviously it wouldn’t recognise it because I started the game without it so I then quit the game before the first race to plug my G27 in & when the game started I was back to player 1. So I started again & did the first race with my keyboard which was my first ever & I won much to my surprise & my profile is saved……bargin.
Hello again.
I’m not sure if anyone here can help me but I have a sound problem – as in “lots of echo” has anyone suffered from this ?
