    Dishing the DIRT - Two Teams, One Future

    This isn't going to happen, sorry. "ripping out" online server connectivity from various game modes is estimated to be a multi-month long project because the entire game is built around it. In other words, not happening. What is happening though is continued work on the DiRT Rally 2.0 servers; in fact, 2 big updates went out last week which greatly helped with capacity, as well as response time to server requests related to Clubs. Based on how this weekend went it seemed to be a big improvement.

  10. Achievements are planned months in advance, as there are various rules and requirements for each platform (PlayStation for example say you need a certain ratio of Bronze/Silver/Gold, certain things can't be in a Platinum etc.).

    F1 2020 - Engine Sounds

    Also, for those curious, this "Broadcast Mode" audio option was turned ON in the Zandvoort video. 🙂 All the capture I've done so far has had it enabled.

    DiRT Rally 2.0 Head to Heads

    One reason is that the F1 car is still spinning its wheels on launch, can't put all its power down whereas an RX car with AWD can just slam it and away they go.
  13. Potential fix in Version 1.14
  14. The game itself hasn't been updated since end of March, so no changes to the code there. My only line of thinking right now is that it was an Oculus or Steam update.
  15. I'll ask next week, need to properly digest the issue you're describing.

    You'd need to look towards electric for a good competitor, a Gen 2 Formula E car can do 0-100kmh in about 2.8 seconds but even that gets beat by the RX Supercars which are around 2.0.

  18. Version 1.14 isn’t far away (looking at early May). Can you hold off until then and report if it’s still happening after that? If it’s a thing that requires a game update, you’re either waiting to see if it’s in 1.14 or you will have to wait for 1.15.

    This one qualifies, hope you do more 🙂 Keep them in this thread though, you should be able to change your thread title. Group B 4WD vs Group B Rallycross might be an interesting test.

    The Solberg World Cup

    Currently around 400th place at Sweden 🙂 Hoping to stay in the Top 500 by end of play. Meanwhile, here's a rolling Volkswagen: https://clips.twitch.tv/CarelessBumblingFishYouDontSay

    Hopefully good all weekend for you guys 🙂 I just streamed my Solberg World Cup run and had zero issues during what is near enough peak European time.

    DiRT Rally 2.0 - In-Game Server Connectivity

    Some server updates happened this week actually, to help speed up connection requests and so-on. I'll share what I can on those when the time comes but hopefully performance has already improved this week.

    DiRT Rally 2.0 - In-Game Server Connectivity

    A server update did happen, but just getting clarity on what specifically changed 👍🏻 In either case, weekends are usually the toughest for Clubs in particular, so I'll keep an eye out and if they seem solid I may be able to share more specifics on what changed.

    The Solberg World Cup

    I should but I've no intention of winning, just driving 🙂 I tend to either go with stock or @2Technical's setup for the VW Polo, and make tweaks from there.
