I'd say end of March too 😉There's plopping a date on a forum thread and there's coordinating a big announcement that goes far and wide.
We may be doing the latter 😉

Server maintenance was today (it was all Codemasters games and sites).
Version 1.12 is next week I believe. Patch Notes are nearly done and we'll share those in a few days hopefully 🙂
[Update: I'm planning to put the notes out on Monday 🙂]

It's just a habit of using their licensed name a lot. When you work with licensed brands (which I've done for 10+ years) it becomes a habit to use official names and capitalisation 🙂
SUBARU is officially written in all caps 🙂

I saw a Legacy on Friday, DirtFish had a display at Autosport International 🙂

Over the last few weeks we have seen intermittent issues with Clubs, with them occasionally going down. That may have affected results.

It's not in 1.12 notes so would be worth reporting it there to get in in time for 1.13.
Hi all, quick update.
A fix for this will be in 1.12 afterall 🙂
(Patch notes aren't finalised yet so more comments are getting added before we publish)

21 minutes ago, SereneLogic said:My ideal format can be described in one of two ways, a singular event format and a championship format. The Championship format would basically represent a small- to medium-length Championship of a set number of rounds, I'f imagine anywhere between 3-6.
For Rally this'd follow a natural Rally, including Power Stages. And for RX this'd follow a Heats -> SF -> F format, albeit maybe not 4 Heats, since that'd be too long. These events would cover a spread of DLC and non-DLC tracks, narrow and non-narrow locations/tracks, tarmac, gravel, etc.For a singular event I'd go with a Qualifiers into Quarter-Final into Semi-Final into Final format, but with 2 Races in the Quarter-Final, 3 Races in the Semi-Final and 5 Races in the Final, each awarding points based on the drivers' positions and the people with the most points go through. Of course each of these races would also have a Qualifying Race beforehand to dedide the grid on the same track, in the same conditions. (Basically this year's format, only with more races per Quarter- and Semi-Final, and all races in the Final counting towards the overall win, not towards a final decider.
Either of these would work, by my preference would go to the Championship-like format, as that's the better way to find out who's the best of the best, with a longer format like real-life.
Your Championship format sounds plausible for the playoffs, but what would you propose for the Qualifiers?
Races (for RX) aren’t really viable there as every race needs a host, and at scale you’re not going to get that. Therefore the current Challenge system is the main feasible option.
For Rally I guess a format similar to Clubs would work, where each Round is essentially a 12 Stage Event with points awarded.
Whatever formats are used need to work at a scale where tens of thousands of players can compete, and given how the rest of the game has been built on Daily/Weekly/Monthly Challenges that was likely the logical step for the series.

In the interest of opening up a discussion, what would be your ideal event format?

Have you put it in the 1.11 bug thread?
It's not in 1.12 notes so would be worth reporting it there to get in in time for 1.13.

6 minutes ago, RodgerDavies said:Really disappointed in this (especially when the preview images look so good without it), but thanks for the confirmation - appreciate you looking into it.
Will leave this 'uninstalled' on mine then 😞. Not even a chance for it to be an option? I'd happily remove a bunch of post-processing effects in order to have fog-free Finland.
Can't go into much detail as it's not my area of expertise but from what I understand there's a tradeoff in performance if the effect is toned down or disabled.

Hello everyone, asked around and got some info on the "fog" effect seen in some locations (most notably Finland).
- This visual effect in particular is by design and set as such for performance reasons.
- We do not plan to change this in a future update.
- We are however adding the ability to select Rain when taking part in Events at Finland. This will come in Version 1.12.
