New User - couple initial questions

[bolox]

personally i disable autoupdates and cloud in steam then switch to offline mode, then you shouldn't have any probs.

TiR- there is a line in conf.ini about halfway down ([rts] section)
trackIRUse= (1 enabled, 0 disabled)

don't worry about the ubi logo 'fix' as this applies to ati cards.
anf it's the only 'video intro'- don't panic

one thing i would add is make a backup of your conf, confs and confUser inis and put them somewhere safe.(these all in ..docs.. folder).

Also when you make changes to controls ALWAYS hit 'apply' for it to 'take hold'
