    I just read the last messages, and what a nice way of screwing day one customers waiting for a season 3+4 sale!

     

    Here's what happened, just a recap for those who missed it or didn't connect the dots (prices are in euro, but it was the same everywhere).

    Day one of the sale, Season 1-4 @ 18.74 - I believe that's what most of us bought, even if we had Season 1-2 content which we were forced to throw in the trash, because of the sale price scheme (Season 3-4 alone was 29.99). Hey, finally a sale on Season 3+4 DLC how could we miss it? That's how the steam store works, blah blah blah.

    After 3 days still on the same sale, Season 1-4 @ 14.99 - just like that, in our face.

    End of sale, Season 3-4 @ 11,99 - wow, that was totally unexpected but I have to admit there's some genius in this move. So in the end Season 3-4 alone could be reduced in price, couldn't it? Deception is an art after all.

     

    That's all.

    Thanks to those who updated the thread and exposed what happened, I had no idea.

    That's a strange price for top games. $100+ is fair price for that content. I paid $100 for Horizon 4 and it's pretty cheap for the content. DR2 is great simulator and the price looks very fair at least too.

    I believe what he means is he doesn't find so much value in recycled content, and I agree.

    In the end it obviously isn't about money itself, as many of us spent (and will spend) a lot more for a single rfactor 2 / iracing track or car, but there's a lot of quality in there, something some of us don't really find in DR2 recycled content.

    Also (and I obviously I speak for myself) there's the aspect of how I was treated as a "PC first day deluxe edition owner" when:

    - pc pass is more expensive than the console one

    - day one deluxe owner are charged more than anyone else

    - the whole "we forgot to tell you there will be more than 2 seasons and that you will be locked away from D+ events without the current pass"

    Is this a fair treatment to your (already small) fanbase? I believe it isn't.

    So the season pass not being on sale is TO ME the latest wrong decision in a serie of bad prior decisions, that's what is all about.

    there are more options than 1) whining like you and 2) being patient and saying nothing. constructive criticism is something I do a lot here. when Seasons 3 and 4 were announced I posted at least once talking about how the price was too high for the amount of content (especially rally content, which people play much more than RX) we were getting over these 6 months. I also have made a lot of posts in the suggestion box, some of which have been implemented into the game.

    Matty's post was alluding to the hypocrisy and childishness of topics such as this. he was being critical of them. he was not being childish himself.

    so yeah. if you behave like a child, you will be treated like one. you started this thread with a post talking about there not being a sale for something that had been out for less than 2 months, and saying you're going to quit the game. you then responded to me with a post that was 100% sarcasm. just because you do not say a thing is sarcastic does not make it not sarcastic. if you really do not know what the word means and how it applies to your post, PM me. I can explain it to you.

    EDIT: Why did I come to the official forum to argue with a teenage fanboy? I don’t know, my bad.

    Sorry, man, that’s not something for me, not anymore.

    your original argument was that the season 3-4 pack was not discounted but the super deluxe edition was "just a bit more" even though it was double the price and the S3-4 pack that it included was not actually discounted.

    so instead of admitting you were wrong, you come back with this "if you're supporting CM at this point you're a sheep" nonsense, which is an opinion which tries to nullify a debate you have already lost. in politics, I've noticed that the far right often use variants of this, with low degrees of success.

    so no, actually, I am not obliged to hold the same opinion as you. and doing so does not make me a blind consumer.

    your argument even contradicts itself in criticizing me for being patient and waiting for a sale by saying that I am supporting the evil devs blindly. if I was supporting them blindly, don't you think I would have bought the S3-4 pack when it came out at full price? [I am not saying that those who did that are sheep, this is just for the sake of argument.]

    see @MattyH1812's post for future reference.

    You had me at "whall of whining" argument and you definitely won when referring to someone supporting your own argument in a childish way, so what else to add? Did you notice I said nothing about "sarcasm"? We don't agree, we never will, that's not the end of the world. I mean, really. If you want to enlight me more on far left speeches tecniques or politics in general please PM me, I guess no one is interested here.

    The fact is: both of us, with such different opinions, here from day one, still haven't bought the package. Facts are facts, right? I'd say we are both losing here.

    Maybe and just maybe it's a sign something in wrong in pricing/content/how they handled and keep handling the whole thing. And maybe CM should consider that. Or not, I know they never will, but why not hope for the better? Also consider that "whining" still is something more than patiently waiting for anything to happen.

    sorry to be harsh, but you don't seem to understand how the superdeluxe edition works. it's a bundle. here's a screenshot of what it looks like when you go buy it. [check below.] as you can see, you aren't actually getting the S3 + S4 pack discounted at all. instead, you're getting the base game and S1 + S2 packs at 60% and 50% off, respectively. and then there's another ~13% discount because you are buying a bundle, and that brings the discount to 40% off overall.

    the Year Pass (S1-S4) is the same. it's 25% off, which is exactly half the discount you get for buying the S1 + S2 pack by itself. get it?

    so yeah they don't want to put the S3 + S4 pack on sale yet, and the prices for the Year Pass (S1-S4) and Superdeluxe reflect that. DR2 and its (older) DLC was on sale last month too, for exactly the same prices. this is nothing new.

    also, as you can see, I don't have the S3/S4 pass yet either. I'm waiting for a sale too. but I've been playing other games like AC Syndicate, CTR Nitro Fueled, Red Dead Redemption 1 and WRC8 while I wait. it'll come, just be patient, there will probably be another one for US black friday in 3-4 weeks 🙂 

     

    I actually understand how the bundle and additional discount works, but they could have decided not to apply and additional bundle discount and transfer it to the season 3+4 pass.

    That would have been more fair, right?

    But why treat our fanbase right when we can milk them? In the end, they preordered the game, they went through bugs, disconnection problems, the FFB fiasco and so on, they will surely be happy to buy, at any price, everything we throw at them. That's great business strategy if you ask me, it surely works wonderfully for me.

    If that's ok for you, if you are glad playing other games while patiently waiting for them to bless us (day one owners and supporters) with a 10% discount after a year, I'm really happy for you, you'll have a great time when the time comes. Also, please consider buying the season pass at full price to support the developers and the company, they deserve our full support, there are so many other tracks and cars to "remaster" out there.

    I was finally able to see how HDR is in this game, and witness how much inferior PC SDR version is.

    Thanks Codies for letting PC HDR gamers out for no reason.

    EDIT: I've seen the game is on the PC Windows Store too and has the HDR10 badge. I'll test it as soon as it downloads to see if HDR is supported on PC in Windows Store version (Steam version has no HDR support).

    EDIT 2: nope, no HDR in the Windows Store version too, that is also severely limited in other aspects. I also like how I always get zero comments from the devs or the community team on why HDR is missing from the pc version.

    Soft lock works correctly on my G27 on PC.

    Could you elaborate please?

    Just to find it if logitech wheels are fine.

    So you have the G27 on "auto" (in windows or in the wheel, I don't know if you control this setting on the wheel), SL is set ingame, and the ingame whell rotation is always a match to the G27 for both 540 and 900 cars?

    for me (ps4 T300) the soft lock works fine (I have the right degree of rotation for each car), but the wheel on screen doesn't match. So it's just visually broken.

    If it doesn't match then SL it's not working.

    It matches perfectly when you manually set the right degree, and it matches perfectly in Dirt Rally and other games.

    It's not like the wheel it's not turning at all, if the setting is wrong it turns less or more than intended.

    You'll definitely notice once you try the right setting.

    Also, if you look here (the amazing GTR Tecnical youtube channel), it's just setting @540 degrees (so no soft lock at all):

    I guess it's broken for everybody after all.

    Nice.

    I have steering saturation set at 100 and soft lock on, and I get correct amount of wheel rotations for every car. I should mention that I use ps4. 

    Ok thanks. I guess ps4 is fine.

    Here's the situation on pc with my fanatec wheel (I used the Escort, but it's the same for every car on the list).

    AUTO (a working soft lock should take care of the rotation and set it right)

    For me soft lock works fine on g29. And mk2 Escort has 900 degrees, not 540.

    Checked again and it's 540.

    So you are telling me with your g29 you set the wheel to "auto" (I don't know the setting, never had one) and the ingame car adapt to that, just like it does in dirt rally?

    Can anyone confirm this?

    Is the problem fanatec specific?

    Another giant issue for wheel users (soft lock works fine in dirt rally, that goes without saying).

    Soft lock is not working at all (the setting does nothing, even after calibration), so the wheel has to be manually set according to specific car rotation.

    Here's the list, I just tested myself (Fanatec Clubsport 2.5. Same with my old Turbo S)
