    Also: where can I find info how the Championship points are calculated?

    It's a formula that hasn't been made public.

    The short version is that points are based on (a) the number of players who took part in a Round and (b) ensuring all players have a unique points value while (c) having bigger gaps for the top players since a "win" is more important.

    Any info on this?

    I'm afraid not, sorry.

    I'm aware that the clubs site has display issues and sometimes struggles to pull the data, but not aware of any work being done on it currently (that's not to say it isn't happening, just that I don't know of any work right now).

     

    Side-note: There was a Codemasters Accounts website bug recently where people couldn't add others to Friends Lists. A fix is being tested.


  2. Just did my run at Monte Carlo: 

     

    • Position: 656/11,000
    • Placement: Top 6%.

     

    That seems pretty good considering this is an extremely competitive Club Championship.

    No practice or Tuning Setup either 😉 

     

    Felt more like a casual Sunday drive than a hardcore rally, though I really liked attacking the curves through the tarmac-only Stages 7/8/9/10 🙂

    @PJTierney, you have a direct connection with devs, i'm wondering if you could ask them about cooperation on adding language (because it's just a question of putting inside one font .pssg and some of .xml files in "language" and "subtitles" directory.)

    Hi there.

    Development support on DiRT Rally 2.0 has pretty much ended now, so I would not expect new languages to be added.

    If the process is as simple as you say, do you have screenshots of what files could potentially go in what folders?

    If it's a "quick job" it might get squeezed in, but would be at the bottom of the priority list.

    Now there is a weekly AI challenge Group B...

    [...]

    which level/difficulty of IA I will be facing in than challenge?

     

    AI Challenges use around 50% AI Difficulty I believe, either that or Medium.

     

    Personally, I'm taking more of a liking to the MG Metro 6R4. It's naturally aspirated so you don't have all the complications of driving a turbo-powered car. Very stable too.

    I have had this a couple of times and got told if you have more than 36 active clubs that will happen and it was correct in my case. Count the clubs that are active atm to see if thats the issue for you aswell.

    Yup, funky limitation of the game 🙂

    The only way I’d use soft tires at Monte Carlo is on the 100% tarmac stages (no ice/snow) which I believe is just two of them (forward and reverse). Can’t recall the stage names off hand, but they’re like 4kms.  And the chance of getting them consecutively between service stages without a snow/ice stage is slim to none.

    There's a Scenario in the Colin McRae mode where you have a bunch of Tarmac Montes strung together. Perfect time to pick the Softs.

  8. @UnderclassGDfan has a workaround until it gets patched:

     

    • Set desired difficulty level.
    • Reset the first setting  in the "Profile Reset" menu. (this causes you to reset your progress in several areas of the game, so I'd advise against it)
    • Do the Scenarios in order
    • Never touch the difficulty option again

     

    Unless you're impatient like me, wait for 1.14 (some time in May) which may fix this.

    Currently the Corona crisis (and also my new home) causes i am busier than ever. But for both the Solberg World Cup and the Official DiRT Club I am planning to enter part-time. Both first rounds of both club i have planned. So this weekend I should be doing Monte 🙂

    Fortunately official club is on a longer cadence, so you're not cramming both in every week 🙂

    I retired after stage two of Monte Carlo... but I'll be back into it for Sweden! Quickly, would I be able to change cars? Rather the C3R5 than the Fiesta R5...

    You can swap for each Round, but once you're in a car for a Stage you're locked in for that Round.

     

    Basically, you can go to the C3 once you start Sweden, but once you drive it you won't be able to swap to another car until you're about to start Greece.

    So with other words older games where "Colin" is in the title may not be marketed again ?

    I didn't say that specifically, moreso that I don't think we'll see a new "Colin McRae" game for quite a while.

    Then again, who knows. FLAT OUT showed there's still a lot of love out there for Colin 🙂
