So, downloaded the Russian demo.
Installed.
Runs...to a point. I can mess around in the menus (nothing to read because all the text replaced with little square).
Can get to settings and set resolution.
But when I try to advance to a race I get a CTD. That could mean anything considering I'm trying to play a Russian game.
So no way to be sure this would play on my system. Will simply have to set this one aside for now.
