If you own it on Steam, then it will automatically update the next time you login.<\/p>\n<p>The geniuses at Codemasters have yet to put the patch up in the patch section of their official site, and we have been unable to locate a legit looking download source yet. So if you bought a retail copy of the game, you&rsquo;ll have to wait a bit.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the patch does the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirt 3 PC patch 1 change log<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&bull;
