It doesn't seem like there's a GUI to change the graphics settings, so you'll have to do it manually:

Go to:
x:\GOG Folder\STAR WARS Racer\data\config\current
Open video.cfg with Notepad++ or similar and change the settings to enable max settings:

VIDEO REFLECTIONS=ON
VIDEO ZEFFECTS=ON
VIDEO DYNAMIC_LIGHTING=ON
VIDEO VSYNC=ON
VIDEO LENSFLARE=ON
VIDEO ENGINEEXHAUST=ON
VIDEO TEXTURE_RES=3
VIDEO MODEL_DETAIL=3
VIDEO DRAWDISTANCE=3

and a bonus controller tip:
if you're using a dual stick controller, open current_control.map on Notepad++ and change the last few lines to
JOYSTICK AXIS=RX FUNCTION=ROLL_RIGHT AXIS_RANGE=NEGATIVE
JOYSTICK AXIS=RX FUNCTION=ROLL_LEFT AXIS_RANGE=POSITIVE
that way the right stick will roll in a proper way, and not inverted

now, if only someone could find a way to emulate the rumble...

Great tips, particularly the draw distance that made a huge difference :)

Thank you for taking the time to share this!

I forgot to compare, but from what I saw so far, this is an awesome tip and the game runs just fine with these settings.
Thank you very much :)

TBH, when it comes to the controller (aside from using the triggers as throttle and brake), I run the game like the keyboard controls; left stick is roll left/right (click to engage slide), right stick is pitch up/down and steering (click while pitching down to boost), LB is repair, RB is Taunt, and A/B/X/Y are just what the game assigns them to be. Serious thanks for the extra video settings, though. Even on my desktop gaming rig, some of the integer settings maxed out at '2' on 'High' settings in-game.

Nice! thanks for the help!
about the resolution...is this game version "patched" for widescreen? I mean....if I select the resolution to be like 1080p....will it be a proper widescreen or will it be stretched from a regular 4:3 ?
Posted February 17, 2019
yes its actual widescreen and some graphical effects become less noticable when higher than 640x480 like lens effect

great tip, thank you. i wonder why they ship it with lower graphics setting. every toaster should be able to run this game flawlessly with high graphics. ;)
Posted June 21, 2019
once again, higher resolutions above 640x480 lessens GFX like flare effects, would be nice if someone could correct this, or even fix issues for 60fps

Thanks for these tips.

I'm sure you know by now, but just in case: you can bring back rumble when using an xinput controller with this:

Download "xi.win7.x64.en.zip" and install. Done.
