4 pointsThink this needs to be bought back, but with all the editions that have been added over the past years in terms of in team developments and driver transfers. Would be amazing. If you could do a career online with a mate. Maybe something that is doable on the crossover to next gen consoles. Opinions??

2 pointsI've been encountering this issue, for the very first time, today. I'm playing single-player events, and it has happened to me twice this morning, the second time I managed to get screenshots of the progress the issue was taking. The first picture was taken coming up to the finish line during qualifying. As you can see, well on course to beat the time set by Rasmus. The second picture shows the results. I'm right at the top, Rasmus in second. No penalties, everything as it should be. The third picture was the start of the grid when the race itself followed. There I am, right at the back, with Rasmus not even in pole position. As I said, this is the first time I have come across this issue. I play the game on Stadia, and it has been an absolutely perfect experience so far. You can see I'm player level 122 (if that's how you're counting those that reached 100 and continued!). The events in question, European Ferrari F430 Challenge Cup was the first I encountered this on, but didn't get any screenshots, then it happened again on the American Ferrari F430 Challenge Cup, for which I got these screenshots. Both events are in the base game Invitational category. I repeat, this hasn't happened online, just in single-player. Here's hoping this isn't something that's going to continue.. (I did already post this as a reply to another thread but thought I was also open a dedicated threat. Sorry if incorrect to do so!)

2 pointsAgree with you on most of the description of the "atmosphere" of F1. The "eye candy" part of the software is very good and fun. But on the idea that it simulates what it is like to be a driver in an F1 team - I would beg to differ. An F1 driver and an F1 team spend 95% of their time analyzing telemetry data and that ability is not in the game. It is hard to simulate the F1 experience when 95% of it isn't there. Which gets me to the car development part of the game. Typically car development is based on understanding the car's capabilities and what you want to improve by understanding how the car has handled given the variety of driver inputs to the car (telemetry). You can't do that as the game is currently structured.

2 pointsto be fair, there are plenty of people who are saying the exact opposite lol insert obviously wrong comments of "no stage rallies!" "Showdown 2" "$60 of DLC" "no post-launch support" D4 did have 13 locations, but the locations only had 1 discipline each, so yeah it spread very thin (though the landrush and RX careers were very short) this is going more for a D2/D3 setup, so most (? ee don't actually know yet) locations will probably have 2-4 disciplines, so it won't be spread that thin. the other issue with D4 was that more half of the alternate routes on the landrush/RX tracks were junior/clubman circuits that you'd play once in career because you had to and then never, ever again. they didn't make that mistake with DR2, and I expect they won't make it with D5, since they're going back to the D2/D3 style that sold like 3-4 million copies

2 pointsWill be around a week @baboonJay, depending on a few factors: Amount of applicants I believe is the highest we've ever seen Working from Home and 'My First BETA' could make the decision process a little longer while I make sure all is correct. However long it takes for me to get the list together and the right candidates. Successful applicants will be contacted via email

1 pointah, you haven't seen this (otherwise pretty uninteresting) interview yet, have you? skip to 0:45 seconds in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFw752sJEhI he makes it clear that different seasons offer different places to race in NYC, and I think it's safe to say that this will mean different event types too, (you can't race on ice year round) and will apply to other (if not all) locations: Norway (it looks like Lofoten, which is very far north) is pretty different from summer to winter, so it's worth showing, and the one shot in the trailer where they showed different seasons seemed to be in China. the bottom line is that there's 70 routes, which roughly lines up with what Dirt 3 had (including the Japan & Monte Carlo DLC). 70 routes have to go somewhere. they're not going to have 10 locations each with 7 different routes in one discipline. that is a terrible way to design a game, and is completely contrary to how Dirt 2 and 3 were set up - not a good start for a game that's trying to emulate their atmosphere and success. uh, they announced the game 3 days ago, on Thursday. Friday was a holiday, and Saturday and Sunday are what we call the weekend. or, as they say in france, le weekend. they've already put out a roadmap for all the announcements (lol @ that. how ridiculous.) so they already have a plan for when we find everything out. so we're going to have to wait. so for disciplines, here are some safe guesses + things we know: Sprint car racing (announced) Ice racing (announced) RX (obviously. and getting the Amplified edition gives you a free VW Beetle RX) Rally (obviously. also C3 R5 and Escort Cosworth are announced) Buggies (announced) my predictions (not super likely, but possible imo): something team-based. D2 and 3 had team-based things, and the game is supposed to enable 4 player split screen in career mode. Raid? (you get a Ford F150 for preordering. however, it could be a landrush car, or something else) Trailblazer? (2 RGT cars from DR2 were in the trailer) Landrush (same as Raid)

1 pointI'm encountering constant server connectivity issues, in west-coast Canada. The times it takes between changing every screen in the game menu due to connecting to CM servers is utterly egregious and practically unbearable. It certainly reduces my willingness to remain in the game and continue playing it. And I regularly see connection lost messages while changing details of my team, while trying to load a single-player race, after finishing a race (thankfully there's at least the "retry" button there), and everywhere else. And when that message occurs in the menus, it boots me back to the main menu and I have to roll the dice all over again trying to walk through the menus and change the things I was working on changing when the last connectivity failure occurred. Tying this game so badly to online servers was a very dumb and selfish idea, CodeMasters. It shows that you don't respect the people who purchase your products and that you couldn't care less about their experience. You just want to prevent them from feeling like they're in control of their purchased product. You're releasing very mediocre games that are severely hamstrung by artificial issues because you greedily want to control people's owned games after they purchase them. If WRC 8 had released on Steam already, and if DR2 hadn't been available at a hugely discounted price, I would never have bothered with DR2. And given how poorly you're treating your customers, I don't think that other people should, either.

1 pointRight, Here's my wishlist... I make no apologies for wanting to recreate the rallies I watched as a kid (so late 80s GpA). 1 - Toyotas. Please. Late 80s Gt-4 and some of the early 90s ones too. 2 - PLEASE let me select all the cars I want in a rally. I'd love GpA, some of the RWD ones and the 205 and Golf. 3 - Can I change the names please? I play offline and would love to see M Alen on a list! 4 - Let me use different stages from different rallies to make my own rally. 5 - Would it be possible to have Group N versions of cars? Would be really simple to have a de-tuned Escort RS Cos, Sierra, VW Golf etc etc. Slightly different handling, possibly different interiors, almost identical exteriors and a lot more options available to us. 6 - Could some country's stages be 'alterable'? How about the Monte stages with gravel in the summer? Germany with dirt and possibly snow? Wales with snow...or dust? Etc etc. 7 - Long stages. Like 'really' long. Think Mobile 1 Rally Challenge style. 8 - My dream, I want a late 80s RAC Rally spectator stage!

1 pointA Racing sim needs 1 fundamental thing. A great tyre physics model. TBH .even True sims dont feel like the real thing. Real life Racing cars or a good track day car racing around a real track smells .feels and puts a massive smile on your face. These games do it as best they can .but it's not real life. Try driving a 400bhp type R with a hybrid turbo around a track with proper slicks fitted. Or a track day R1 or R6 . That will scare the life out of you . Its only when you go home then to bed and you sudden realise how dangerous it was. What's the worst that could happen in sim Racing. AC is pretty decent on the old PC. And pcars2 ain't that bad on the ps4 F12019 is improving. Dirty rally 1.0 and the excellent 2.0 is another huge improvement. But for what we pay £50 plus DLC. Its cheap and tremendously affordable. . All the best .

1 pointI also encountered this bug. However I was playing the second race under 'Invitational Favourites' > 'Mini Miglia Challenge League' under Season 3 career mode content, when the issue occurred.

1 pointThe handling in D4 did improve over DR in some ares, the 4WD was quite good, i don't remember the FWD, but the RWD was absolutely screwed up it's own backside. Paul wasn't wrong, they did tear it down and revisit it, fixed a lot of fundamental issues with DR physics, but the handling was messed up, and overly complicated once they split it to Arcade and Sim. As far as D4 being a serious rally game, it wasn't, it was trying to be DR 2 and D4 at the same time, they liked how popular previous Dirt games were and how popular the early access test title, DR, was received, so they made both games together, it failed.
-
1 pointDirt 4 is not a serious rally game. It attempted to be by ignoring every other aspect of the franchise and failed and got panned. Why would they return to that when they can go back to the old model that did really well and had a large fanbase? Goal posts haven't shifted. D4 was not a very good rally game. And I didn't set those goal posts, you did.
-
1 pointDiRT 5 looks like to ride on the Forza Horizon 4 bandwagon. Like The Crew 2 did. I hate both of those games. Awful bright colors, attention cars, attention disciplines, probably an annoying announcer, who screams in a microphone all the time. I think it will be an arcade circuit racer with simple driving physics and focus on the action and atmosphere. Another racing game for the Fortnite mayfly crowd. Can be a very good game, like FH4 in it's essence is, but nothing for me. I played way too many arcade racing games in the last 25 years to see any motivation to play this. I'm too old for that s***. The good thing is (how I understood the letter from Codemasters) that this doesn't effect the DiRT Rally-Franchise, so I just can ignore that game.
-
1 pointnice one. yeah, it would be nice if there were more stats recording (that players could see) in general in these games. community events are a big one too: the official site records the rankings for them, but it just has the times everyone did on each stage, not which tier you were in etc. plus, it only records this data for "standard" community events, not Promo or Bonus ones. nothing for AI challenges either, or anything else in Freeplay or Colin McRae mode.

1 pointIm not sure if i follow you completely, but you have to update every game to be able to use their online features. Not just DR2. As for the free psn plus games, then yes. As long as you added it to your library, you can download, delete and download as many times you'd like. As long as you pay for the Plus subscription, that is... You'll find them all in your "Library" under "Purcased".

1 pointDang I can't stand those but you can't button mash cos it costs you dev time! It's so silly. The whole thing is based around the belief that your entire car development team is listening in and if you praise some people they give half price work time and if you don't they give you full price.. Can you imagine Lewis giving an interview and he says "great race but me daft wing wuz 'anging off half the ruddy time. It wuz reet crappy that wor"... Then his aero people thinking "wot a reet berk eh? Hammy wor callin' us reet daft eh.. Tha cheeky bugger!" Then they work to rule before his next race to get slower upgrades..... Nope! 🏎️🤣🙄 PS apologies for the accent right out of Viz Comic I couldn't help it sorry! 🤣 😎

1 pointWRC 8 on Xbox One X with a controller is not very good to me. I'm not a fan of 30 fps for a racing game. The cars are extremely twitchy and the controls never seem good no matter how much I tweak them. The cars don't seem to carry inertia through turns. It seems like they almost stop or stall out around sharp turns and then get going again. It also seems like you can't steer the cars on throttle. Counter steering usually results in the car wagging down the stage in a fit of overcorrection to try and get the car pointed in the direction that I want it to go. The sound design for the game seems pretty poor. The fact that they only have a few cars (18 unique cars if you bought the extra legends pack) to do sounds for and they turned out like that is pretty sad. It sounds like a popcorn machine is strapped inside the car while driving over gravel and the sound of hitting standing water is pretty silly as well. I am not interested in the team management aspect of WRC 8 as I want to spend my time driving stages and not hiring/firing or unlocking an elaborate upgrade/perk tree. For me, having better tarmac physics is not enough of a draw to keep me playing the game when all of these other flaws exist. I have heard that on PC with a proper wheel setup, it is quite good but I have neither and expect it to work well on what I have. I don't feel that it does. Even things like the lack of a proper steering wheel rotation animation bug me and I am surprised that they think that is acceptable for 2019 standards. I know that people's opinions of the game vary greatly and accept that mine is just that, an opinion. For these reasons and more I will probably not be interested in purchasing WRC 9 unless there are significant improvements to all of these aspects. However, I don't think this will happen because I can't even find a forum to voice my opinions on these shortcomings so I am guessing they don't really want the feedback to improve their game.

1 pointMy honest opinion. I like so much Codemasters F1 Games, since 2010 (had on PS3) and 2011-2019 on Steam, Very good F1 Simulator, I say that, because, can simulate many things from real life. For me ' simulation ' don't mean about handling, FFB and car driving related, but in general, let's make a comparison from some things that we can see: Real Life: In car, the drivers can change multiple options by pressing or rotating switchs; Game: We have some that functions, like BBias, MIX Fuel, ERS modes; (of couse that actual car have engine mapping modes, but I said, simulate engine modes) Real Life: On The track have FIA Digital Flags; Game, On game we have this too, and works... Real Life: The weekend, have 3 FPs, Qualifying and Race; Game: We have option to choose full length sessions. Of couse there much more to we compare, but I will not list all, I do not want to be very extensive here. So, it's my opinion that I want to share with you.

1 point@BarryBL Any word on this? Will it be fixed? Just wanna say: I bought the Legends Edition on launch and was basically only interested in the classic content and I personally see the rest as a bonus. But I stopped playing the game a few days after release because of this annoying broken sound. It doesn't feel right. I am not interested in the game until it's fixed. Please make at least sure, it will be fixed for F1 2020, if there will be classic cars like these. I come from the DiRT Rally-side, but it would be cool, if I had a 2nd Codemasters game to enjoy. Just please at least try to get it fixed 😟

1 pointHi Folks, I bought F1 2019 for Xbox One about a week ago and since first day I haven't been able to connect to servers to play online. I have talked to Xbox Support and have done many things to try to solve it like: 1. Power Cycle 2. Uninstall and Reinstall the game 3. Soft reset, which restes the xbox without deleting the games 4. Try UPnP enabled and disabled And non of this options have worked, the issue is only with F1 2019 because I own F1 2018 and I can play it online, other games such us Gears, COD etc.. I can play them normally. My NAT is open. The rare thing is that leadboards are updated with my times and so on, but I cannot connect to servers. Plase Help!!!
