Grid 2 adds mod support in upcoming update

Codemasters has announced that the upcoming GRID 2 patch will introduce modding support on PC.

Previously, some of the game's files were protected against modification. This was intended as a defence against cheating, mostly during online play, but also when setting lap times or earning achievements. When the modification of a protected file has been detected the game would disable online access, achievements and would also prevent any saving from occurring.

The update will add some basic changes to the game that allow modified data and when enabled the game will now save your progress. The save file is separate to the one used by the unmodified game and online play, leaderboards, achievements and RaceNet functionality will all be disabled to protect the integrity of the main game. Mods will not support Steam Workshop integration.

Other changes the patch will bring include increased rewards in Custom Playlist, a new playlist titled Hardcore, level cap raise to 99, maximum number of laps allowed in a race increased from 5 to 10, veto weighting has been changed and now only requires 51% of the vote, country flags have been included next a player’s name plate online, and a vote to kick option has been included.

Grid 2 was released for PC, as well as consoles, earlier this year.
