Won't consider buying the game because in the first few days there is a slight issue with connection in a small portion of a brand new game that hasn't had its full release yet? .....cool

I'd be quite happy with just two 01 cars. While they should be a bit slower than the late naughties ones, with a bit of tweaking it's a solid class. Just to be able to go all 'Burns v Mcrae' again would be awesome. P.s if the peugeot 206 doesn't come I'm gonna smash a cup.

Meh, I can't think of a triple A game that hasn't released with some issues. It's just what happens. I think a game, and a games company, should be measured on how they respond to issues as opposed to on the issues themselves. In our case, Codemasters have been extremely attentive and responsive to the issues raised, and are working flat out to resolve them.

I imagine it's quite difficult to fast patch on consoles as everything has to get approved by the platform I think. Sure it will come soon though.

On the pace notes issue, Phil Mills was always a very calm caller of notes. Also the chicane system is strange, it isn't based on entry side any more but rather the first turn you have to make. Instead of left ENTRY it'll be right chicane or something.

I really like Phil Mills calls. Hopefully Codemasters may introduce new language codrivers for all yall

To say it's un-driveable or un-enjoyable is just not true though. This game is perfectly serviceable and damn fun. Just needs a few tweaks, as does every game ever.

With reference to the ffb. I use a Thrustmaster t300 on ps4 pro, and whilst the self aligning torque and wheel friction are very good there is no road noise or particularly notable grip sensations. So it isn't just a steam or non thrustmaster issue. That said, the self alignment and friction are great, I've had to turn them down a lot which is always a good sign. Just no road feel....apart from cattle grids which also feel very good.

I think the reason the C4 hasn't come out yet is because it has so many reliability issues. I've seen about 5 or 6 c4's smoking by the roadside now, and maybe only 2 or 3 other cars. 😂

Because @ChristinaMc has had such a relaxing day and literally has NOTHING to do now ...... Might this be a good time to ask about those beautiful Armstrong 2.0 Ki-ar bobble hats?

It feels good. Racenet issues but meh, day 1 isn't it? I'm struggling with pace at the minute but having a blast. The stages are narrow, technical, quick in places. Wonderful. Gave RX a blast and have no idea about Barcelona's layout so kept buggering up but that's fun too.

Racenet has gone.... Ps4 pro.

In my team, in the initial championships you are running at the back of the order.

Also the sun strip, if that's what it is? Is insanely big on the fiesta R2. It may be authentic, but without the ability to lower my seat position, or peer under it, makes for very restrictive viewing, especially when descending.

Yea i have a t300 and it feels good. Not a huge amount of road noise if im honest but the self alignment and wheel friction are very good, and need turning down my end, which is a good sign.

Yea I'm enjoying FWD at the moment. Like reaaallly shocked initially. Lancia fulvia + rutted stages = turn the self aligning torque down! Real challenge, felt like I was genuinely rallying in the muddy 60s. It is brilliant. Well done testers. Well done Codies.

I had one issue where the throttle would oscillate or vibrate, which affected throttle sound and rev line visual. Unsure whether it's my end or yours, but all other sound and visuals were fine. If it happens again I'll record it Also Phil's pace notes seem to go very loud and out of place sometimes for no reason (not speed or aggression related) almost as though he's recorded them later and patched them in. Other than that, so far so brilliant. Oh, I'm on ps4 pro, using t300.

Under an hour to go 😍

Yea but quite why you'd want to do that when there's a perfectly good rally game included, I'll never know.

In other news......

You need to try Birmingham. There's now 3 coffee shops for every one person in kingsheath/Moseley and they all do filter, cold-something-or-other fancy pants coffee.

Yea it's a cheeky little surprise from those codemasters marvels. Hoping there's some real career tire choice dilemmas to come.

Good news pal, though I'm secretly hoping you don't get to play before I do.

@ChristinaMc can you confirm whether or not ai can be adjusted in career mode (rally) and whether or not we can select hardcore damage for the same mode? I've seen seen streams where people are unable to locate these settings. Is it intentional or a bug, or are the streamers being sausages and just not seeing the options?

Why? My Finnish has slipped a bit recently.......or Dutch, or whatever it is. My translation is " the best selling van with dirt rally 2.0 has left the bar and the door on the bestselling annual motorway. 11 excuses here forth" am I close?
