Colin Mcrae – Dirt – Won’t respond to keyboard or controller

The other day I bought Colin Mcrae Dirt through Steam and when I launched it up I went straight to graphics settings and set it all to max knowing my graphics card would have no problems with this. When set the game had to restart. When I restarted the new graphics settings had been applied but the game wouldnt recognize any of my key presses…

Strange…

Well what it turned out to be what was causing the problem was that the in-game steam community was switched on. When turned off Dirt started picking up my keyboard presses.

To disable in-game community in steam; open steam go file->settings->in-game (Tab) and uncheck the enable box. Apply settings and restart Dirt.

Who else had this problem?
