Some of the fear out there is based on Take Two bringing in monetisation... but DR2.0 was already pretty heavily monetised, with its pay for content model. But will T2 dumb down any of the games? The Dirt series is not something to worry about becoming compromised, as its already gone in a full-blown retar-whoops, sorry, full-blown 'fun' direction Grid was also pap, Project Cars gone down the 12 year old audience gurgler. I've never played the F1 series. Whatevs. So it comes down to whether Dirt Rally and WRC will be stupidified. I doubt it. Dirt 2.0's handling and physics is its massive core strength, and any problems with its sales were due to its poor state at release. They would be insane to mess with the 'authentic' core brief.

1. The issue is that when I create a lobby, some players(randomly) can't join unless they make multiple attempts(sometimes even 10-15). I am from Romania and I host both a national league and an international one. It happens a lot more often when we have 15-20 romanian players than when I host the international one although romanian internet is a lot better than in western europe and we are all in the green whereas in an international lobby you will always see yellow and even red sometimes. 2. PS4 3. 1.04 and now 1.05 4. Unranked multiplayer 5. It happens almost every time I host a lobby. It did happen in 2019 also, many times. For 2020 it has only been 5-6 lobbies so far but I am a host in our league so I have to host races at least twice a week, that apart from practice sessions. 6. My internet connection, both wired and wifi is strong and stable. Always reset PS and router before a league race, NAT Type is correctly set, I have done everything I know how to do and it solves nothing. 7. Can't actually provide video because it happens to others, not me. This problem is causing major issues with delays in league racing. Please help us with a solution.

Actually, yes because logic. The logic being that if there's no thread the DR2 forum will get flooded with D5 threads so it's better to consolidate all that in one place. There isn't going to be an open forum for D5, that's not my call as D5 communications are going in a different direction for a different audience. I did however expect DR2 people to talk about D5, so I created a space within DR2 forum for people to hang out. If you like, I can delete this thread and give you no forum space to discuss the game at all. For support, there's a feedback form and the Discord server, and until I hear otherwise, that's not going to change. To clarify I've added a note to the top of this thread. If you have any concerns, take it up here:

Bahrain short, Suzuka short, COTA short and Silverstone short aren’t on the 2020 calendar too, but they are in the game. I do understand why Mugello, Portimao, Istanbul, Nurburgring and Imola aren’t in the game; because of licenses. But the layout is clearly in the game, so CM has a license for the outer track I think.

Went flying again today, went down the coast to the south for an hour and then back to the city. Was great to see all the beaches and yachts, even flew over kangaroo island for a bit. Really nice 🙂 I still have no idea how planes work lol, but Meg has it under control!

That's just how games work that are about real organisations or other fictional franchises.

Ok, it's working now. I did verify the files on steam but, apparently, deleting the hardware_settings_config.xml did the trick. Now if someone can tell me why my steering wheel works fine when I run a race, but steers like a truck in time trials? Thanks for all your help, steviejay69.

Regardless of the section, this is literally the right thread based on it's title 😉

Guys, anyone knows how to make the colours look fluorescent-like, like this Marlboro red? I've tried using the same colour, trying different things on the main_s file, but with no luck. Any help would be greately appreciated.

Might not even rendered properly and with no proper collision, and then there's the whole licensing issue from the F1 officials themselves, usually not as simple as we wanted to be.

Considering how many other franchises Take Two has killed in favor of forcing everyone to work on GTA and milk money from players I'd hope CM keeps control. These big buyouts always lead to the death of franchises. That being said, I'm still surprised how many studios CM has bought out themselves since I figured they were closing in on bankrupt.

COTA track limits penalties are a shame for this game.

I think this is on a level were people are not really interested in games, it is all about return on investments. But it can for sure affect games, as smaller games with no mega fanbase are shot off by the board. For hard core sim games it is maybe not so good.

You can find the issue in any of iContrast's live streams

Sorry - I feel like I am overtaking this thread. But on other hand - people post more vids! 🙂

Hi @BarryBL, Ah okay, I thought that might have been the case but I thought I’d raise it just in case it wasn’t. Thanks for clarifying - just got to make sure I don’t hit anyone in front!

However, (just read this back), there are reports of users getting penalties for BEING hit. That's a different matter altogether and is already bugged and being investigated.

We Play with 20 Players in germany and we have the Same issue... Its Like the group of players are Divided.. for example If i Host, 12 people can Join, 8 cant. If someone of this 8 Hosts, some of Them can join. It Happened also in 19 after some months, but we Had Always one that could Host for all 20, but since 20 its Not working anymore.. pls help

Evaluating cars/tracks performance and the driving experience, I'd hint the coders at room to improve and refine the game's quality (Rally, Gravel) by reconsidering: 1. There should be a choice for displaying wheel- or overground speed on the HUD. 2. The grip level feels like the cars have more weight than in DR1 without having more grip at the same time, please increase the grip of all cars to a accommodated level. Too much spots on the tracks where breaking and steering wheels have no effect at all and it seems on half of the way the wheels are in the air not even touching the ground. 3. The 'magnetisms' in/outsides of turns. If you get into a turn a bit off the ideal line you can either be sucked to the inside with no means to get away, where countersteering on 4WD or FWD, accelerating, breaking or aligning by the handbrake have zero effect. Or you get sucked to the outside loosing all grip sliding uncontrollably even at 10kph! 4. Even with the power set 66% to the front a 4WD acts more like a RWD than a FWD! It's not possible to align the car by the handbreake or the brakes set at 66% to the rear that should normally give the front the tendency towards the center of the car's movement. So I'm not really excited by the car's/track's physics, neither for a sim nor arcade game. 5. The track's nature seems to me all tracks in all locations from start to finish have +/- the same surface material with the consistence of powder, far from gravel physics, even if the surface sounds and graphics suggest otherwise it's the same. Please add more variations there from fine and rough sand, fine and rough gravel to rocky areas between locations and stages and within the stages themselves and add the corresponding grip. To me this seems to be a bit better at the events that were transcoded from Dirt Rally 1. 6. The surface graphics. As is it's a lot 'flying blind' because lots of the upcoming bumps, dents, deviations, ruts that will tilt and twist your car around are invisible on the track's surface, that is unrealistic, it prevents the player from handling the car flawlessly relating to the track's performance. Please improve extra extra much. The impact of these weird spots should be decreased remarkably to have good racing. Often the physical forces of speed, weight, turns, grip, bumps and steering just don't fit together and far too often you get deflected from your straight driving line by no obvious cause and go swerve left and right without response to steering! EVOstudios should get the EGOengine to do more car handling/track performance like Dirt Rally 1. 7. Pacenotes (german) are too basic and often unprecise, misleading or false, including the distance calls. Notes don't consider unusual charcteristics of the track enough. Camber and warning notes are too rare. Tightening turns need to always be announced with the initial and final tightness if they tighten by one count or more. They are very inconsistent too, with fours you can do full throttle and sixes you need to brake like hell to not go over the edge. I'ts just not good enough for a Rallysim. To solve this it would be great to have a pacenotes editor to adjust/rectify the codrivers calls. 8. I'd love to have 1 restart in daily, 2 in weekly and 3 in each monthly challenges event. We're paying customers after all and should benefit of a second chance if the first run fails. I got a DNF after a 16km stage finished with a good time in a weekly challenge because the connection with the server could not be established in multiple attempts and I had to return to the main menu. A possible restart would have been helpful to ease the letdown. Having played DR2 a lot I think the game has a weird & vastly overdrawn way to simulate Rally difficulties and racing challenges, basically you need to memorize the whole lots of faulty pacenotes and abnormalities of the tracks that will send you into crashing to get into the top section of the leaderboard! The rest depends on practice and clean driving skills. Would be great if the Rally stages of the Dirt 4/3/2 games were added to Dirt Rally 3! Anyway, if and when there will be a Dirt Rally 3, I will definitively play it from DAY ONE!

Don't talk about Dirt 5 here. Go to Discord. This is for Dirt Rally 2, but actually Dirt 5, but not really, because logic.
