Most people are changing from Game Pass version to Steam because the Game Pass version has bugs with DLCs. So I wonder why you want chose the other way round?

The always Online DRM from Codemasters was and is a pain in the a** from the beginning on. Some have it never, some only at the early days and some have it now. No solution from CM until now.

Try a refund and rebuy Super Deluxe on Steam. You could also check some reseller.

This is the Dirt Rally section, maybe you have to repeat your question in the Dirt section. As far as I remember you need to upgrade facilities, that the upgrades can be researched and produced.

Do you guys know if there is a car list in google docs or text form including the classes? I want to check which cars I already have in garage or which I'm missing

It's because it is dirt for the engine, only the visuals are snowy

Native Resolution of HMD or Screen?

This problem persists from the beginning however at the moment year 1 is available at the same price as S3 + S4 in current sale.

Just to remind CM, that the problem is not solved at all. Because of the special livery of Petter Solberg I started DR2 (now v1.12) after a few month break to see what's changed and it's worse than ever. Now the rhytmic stutter is down to 4 fps with frametime of 300ms, it's nearly unplayable. I will try the DS4 trick to see if that helps or if there is a new problem. Edit: The DS4 trick to unplug the controller after the game started no longer works. The time delta between the stutters is 12s so what does the game engine every 12s that it slows down the whole game? BTW: I'm really happy that only the CM games have this problem nothing in ACC, R3E, Automobilista, iRacing, PC2 ...

So thanks to clear this up. As you can see in the following discussion that is not very understandable more if you compare the new awfull version to the old nice version of DR1. For me this means, thankfully I've waited with my decission to buy season 3+4 until Finnland is fixed. And as it will not be fixed I saved some money, because for sure I'm nobody who pays money to annoy myself.

I'm really disappointed what was made out of the DR1 Finland. Graphics reduced, fog added. Finland is one of my favorites in DR1 but in DR2 CM made it far worse ... I don't know what's happening with CM. Also the big difference between the advertising pictures which PJTierney "spammed" and the reality has at least a bland taste.

Sure, but the settings are mostly the same as already discussed in this thread. CPU i9 / GPU 2080ti / HMD Valve Index with 2 x lighthouses DirtFix 1.1 installed (I want to get rid of the HID USB stutter without this plug in and out of my DS4 controller routine) SteamVR Setting Video 100%, per app for DR 2 150% Nvidia driver: Anisotropic 16x Basic graphics: Multisampling off, Anisotropic off / mirror screen 1280x720 windowed (I don't need it, because the mirror is to small and can't be used to dial in the settings -> only active if HMD on your head REALLY? I would like it if it was in DR 1) Custom advanced settings based on Medium: Shader high, Texture high, Weather high, Crowd low, Cloth high, Mirrors low, Vehicle details high, Ground cover low, God rays replay, Chromatic abb. replay, Bloom off, Lens dust off VR comfort: Motion blur off As written above my biggest issue is the moving world. If I move the head slowly the world stays stable, but I move my head faster (left - right or up - down) the world is moving with my head movement. This is so weird, and it makes me feel motion sick and it's a real problem.

Just to step in because the posts are now very emotional. For sure there are bugs, my biggest issue is the moving world (just stop on track and look around, for me the world moves and that's a issue), the 2nd biggest issue is the lighting which is in the shadows way to dark, sometimes i can't see anything. On the other side, DR 2 has VR support and the image is clear, the cockpits are good incl. functional indicators and with the right settings there is no stutter. But I really would like it if I could move my seat more down, in most cars I scratch the roof. I disabled the Multisampling and Anisotropic filtering (just used fixed setting in Nvidia driver to my liking), set the graphic options and SteamVR SS that i can reach 90 fps with some headroom and so I'm really having a lot of fun. I used the performance information of SteamVR to be sure not going over 9 at night with rain so that the performance graph is completely green.

So what's learned, at the moment where you can win something nobody goes the sportsman way all are cheating what's maximum possible. If CM want to take this serious they have to check the ghost and disqualify all with a extended cut just to gain some time. So nobody will risk it and cuts to gain time are gone. This reminds me where in some games all graphics where turned down to ps1 quality because you are able to see the enemy to shoot better

Game mode: Free play with custom championship with 5 stages. Saved after stage 2 in version 1.7 and re-entered the game after 1.8 update to continue with stage 3. Also tried an other custom championship with an other car to continue on stage 2 but the same problem. Game was approximately 10 minutes running before I started the event. After that I closed the game, I doesn't want to fiddle any more with the bugs. So I tried not any more races. Yesterday after the 1.8.1 update, I deleted the championships and started over. I created new ones now without the "car does not move" bug.

Remove this whole up- downvote ... Bugs should not have likes at all, they are just bugs. Also PLEASE change the default ordering of the threads to "sort by date" and not "sort by vote". Each time I click on the star to view the newest posts it jumps somewhere in the thread depending on the votes This Technical Assistance forum should behave like the normal forum. Also a post that was helpful a few weeks ago is probably in an up to date view complete nonsense but because of the upvotes you get it presented as best post.

The start line car does not move bug is back 😞 What I really do not understand is, why so essential bugs will not be ironed out. What platform you're playing on (for PC also state Steam or Oculus). -> Steam 2D What your PC setup/build is like (graphics card, processor etc.). -> i9, 32GB RAM, RTX 2080TI Whether you're a Standard or Deluxe user (doesn't apply to Oculus). -> Deluxe Whether or not you have any non-standard peripherals connected, like steering wheels, gaming mice etc. -> Fanatec Wheel, Fanatec HB, HE Pedals, TM Shifter

This problem persists since v 1.0 and is not solved by now. In Steam it's the same and it was often reported. I reported it I think alone 10 times, also added VX Diag, Afterburner graphs but nothing has happened so far. A work-a-round is to plug in a gamepad start the game unplug the gamepad ... but honestly it should have been solved latest with v 1.1 Left side frametime with the gamepad plugged in - right side gamepad plugged out: BTW: If you don't plug in the gamepad before the start of the game the frametime and stutter has exactly the same problem (left side) but then you have something else to unplug like a shifter or so to get rid of the stutter. So it's not the device what's unplugged what is causing the problem, it's a problem from DR 2 and goes away if you unplug a HID device while the game is running.

I'm knowing the time where no launchers were needed to play a game, so they could sell it DRM free in their own shop and could get 100%.

The information about the career mode was very interesting and I would like if the DR 2 career would have done in that way. Also the huge number of track (snippets) and the very good looking tracks the lighting and rain were very promising. But with the current information available WRC 8 is now for me finally a no buy 1. No VR (but I would have tried it nevertheless) 2. It seems on PC EPIC (EGS) only so definitively an no buy for me

2nd day in VR gaming, it's so good and that's what I was waiting for. The tips in the link are good, I have disabled the AA in DR2 and used 4x AA in Nvidia driver (the normal one, will try tomorrow the SSAA). I got a good performance 90 fps stable, even in night and rain with a very good image, ok not the PC2 quality but decent. I don't like the white reflections from wet tracks, this is looking sometimes like snow but most times it has a metal or chrome touch. Also the brightness is to unstable, in night and wet conditions way to bright on sunny days in the shadows to dark. But nevertheless it's a very good start with VR.

Just the usual information, that the Stutter problem is not resolved. DR V 1.7.0 / Steam / Win 10 / VR (Valve Index at 90Hz) This time I attached a DS4 Controller - started the game and started a stage (sitting on the start line) left side with frametime all over the place up in the 50ms -> results in a lot of stutter while driving Then I disconnected the DS4 controller and the stutter is gone, you can see on the right side the frametime is down to around 13ms PS: Last time I used my TH8 shifter to disconnect, because I forgot to connect the DS4 first. So you can disconnect any HID device while the game is running to remove this stutter. @CM Please solve this issue, it's here since v1.0 and now we are at v1.7

That's 100% wrong. On my Valve Index and on the WMR HMDs the Oculus Version does not run at all. It's very interesting to see, that the Oculus customers think that all people use the Facebook Hardware. Edit: Looked for your problem and according to reddit you should try -vrmode Oculus in the Steam launch options. Beside that, there are a lot of bugs in the VR version and it's poorly optimized. AA is e.g. very bad implemented, the lighting and colors in my headset are way to bright so I had to go down to 0.3 brightness what's leads to problems in the darker areas. I can't use the keyboard in VR, so no way to rename a championship or other things where you need to input something with the keyboard. Or the idea of CM that we have close SteamVR to play in VR ... what? Missing start menu in Steam for VR or flat gaming, etc.

Just a short feedback after the newest patch. VR feels very nice, and I had 2h fun. So now Dirt Rally 2 is really DR 2. My game was in FS mode and I couldn't got it started in VR or without VR, so I had to deinstall SteamVR change the settings to window mode and re-install SteamVR. There are some bugs with lighting and some flickering bushes. Wet stages looking wrong, it's like there is ice and it's very chromium looking. F11 for VR reset is not very well choosen. The rhythmic stutter bug with HID reading is also not solved. I have seen a lot people on Steam reporting this also, because in VR it's more visible.

Ok, so now with 1.5 it's gone worse. Don't know what CM needs to fix it, but at the moment it's going in the wrong direction. Before 1.5 it was a simple stutter, but know the frame stutter repeats itself in the stutter ... frame times up to 74 ms.
