I'm still really mad I didn't log into discord early this morning and missed it. I feel like it was a glorious train wreck to watch and finally some actual damage models!

I think the accepted theory right now is distributor error shipping the game early. Pretty common for most games that a few hiccups happen

You used the wrong one

well I tend to have the discord open on a different monitor more than I have the forums up and refreshed, so I transcribe big things quickly without reading =P

ahhh beat me to it

2008 & 2001 Subi confirmed

It's Wales in the rain, no? D4?

oh yeah, I'll concede that point @AIPacino, the only way I held it together on Germany was to stretch the gearing a ton for the Fiesta which I really hated doing. 6th gear doesn't like to climb hills and doesn't really add nearly as much to your top speed as it does in the Polo; and it takes longer to get there like you said. But outside of doing like top #50 runs for the 2010s, I think all of them honestly are pretty evenly matched. Just excited I get my Fiesta back for 2.0

No match for the Polo?!?!?! I think you're driving it wrong... Fiesta has carried me through most of my league events ahead of many Polos - even DannyBoy's. And I race it stock. Though he does have ~8sec on my first shakedown run in Wales Sweet Lamb. Gonna have to work on that tonight when I get home...

Lol I'm right there with you, only reason I found it out is because I'm running a 3770k w/ 16gb DDR3@1600hz and a 1080ti. I think the first game I noticed it on was PUBG and then subsequent UE4 games, but I was able to add 10-20fps consistently across the entire match just by tweaking my memory one weekend. Like I said, it shouldn't affect things that much and just like you mention it won't impact it as much as going from a 960 -> 1080, but it has been able to make some performance gains in newer games. Just something to keep in mind

You would be very surprised how impactful they can be for some games. At least with higher resolutions/ultrawides. Yes, you need a decent GPU behind it first but I've seen people get 20fps gains on a 980 just by going from 1600mhz -> 2133mhz. Doesn't work on every game out there, but it's a trend I've noticed since probably around late 2017.

16gb should be plenty for most things, and way more than enough for any game. I'd suspect we're hitting that point where dev's are starting to "abuse" the fact most people have switched to DDR4 which has higher base clocks; may not even be a fully conscious decision either but due to new libs using more aggressive implementations. Only say this because DR2.0 would not be the first game I've seen to get noticeable performance gains by OC'ing the memory and loosening the timings. But I can't test that for at least 9 more days =P

CPU? Memory quantity and speeds? I've been noticing a lot of games starting to choke on memory throughput lately and having faster memory for the first time in many years is actually starting to have an impact.

Running triples on a 960? Are you a mad man? Does that thing even have enough vRam to handle two screens?

Well until your signature changes, my post wont change =P *but I totally agree with your signature*

I don't think that's how you spell H3/80s RWD but I'll let it slide this one time 😉

HOLY **** THEY HAVE E30 SOCKS!!!! Well there goes $12 I didn't need anymore... https://heeltread.com/collections/all/products/e30-socks

I can't believe my Snow Particle BS actually came true... Alright, everyone start pitching in we need to buy Christina and Urgaffel two boxes of biscuits!

that's right, it's Urgaffel's fault since he won't sign off on releasing his awesome new snow particles 😉

Seriously, we need some gossip ASAP in there. It's slowly deteriorating into chaos...

I don't think they are paying for enough AWS instances to handle the aftermath of that announcement... we'd probably blow through their entire VR budget they just got allocated 😆

don't tease me like that

Huh didn't think it was confirmed everything was Rally, just that the locations were all Rally. If that is the case then I really don't know what to expect. Maybe we get that Group B RWD x3 and 2000s x2? 037/400/959 and the subi/focus? Is there a more iconic class I am missing that would be perfect to fill with 3/2 cars? Since if I remember correctly we are getting 5 cars per DLC, which screams to me a 3-2 split for new classes
