Hoping the disconnecting from server issue is sorted in one of those small Patches , as its one of the biggest issues still remaining with the game. Sadly, from the feedback I get from @PJTierney , the feeling is that the team have given up on finding a solution to this, and we will be stuck with this issue for the next 3 years... Depressing to say the least, when there is allways a % of your Club Drivers that can complain that their Weekly Club Rally was ended not by themselves, but by Codemasters..

Sadly , for some very odd reason , the Codemasters Developers are not interested in fixing this obvious issue. I proposed that a local encrypted Save File be created by the Game if it cannot upload to the Server , and then when a connnection can be re-established, it uploads and life goes on. But it seems to be an impossible mountain to climb out for the Studio...

Apparently, the will to fix it, is non existent.

@PJTierney , should I leave the above as not being looked at , or will the team entertain slight tweaks ?

Dirt 2.0 beats F1 Force Feedback by a Country mile. My G29 allways with F1 just seems like a gear is stripping inside the housing when gravel/curbs etc. etc is touched. But in Dirt 2.0 , boy o Boy, waaayy different and better. I`ve never heard that gear scratching sound inside the wheel again , all feedback goes to the steering wheel. Absolutely Brilliant !!!

Hi PJ Many Thanks for the Prompt reply. I would think/request that the team re-look at my proposal , I know some okes have expressed the reason might be that the Log file can be edited, but surely if its encrypted that cannot happen On the default 15 Minute allocation , surely there must be a better way of working out some Time for the poor oke ? Average Stage time at that point, and it can be adjusted to the final average time once the event is over , or 1 sec slower than the last finisher when all the data is in at the end of the Club event. Blanket allocation of 15/20 minutes just seems like a shortcut way to get something out in a hurry, with the constant being some okes will in every club event encounter this, a better way to mitigate it must be looked at.

No way to make this work for Console Users ?

Hi There We are running Two South African Clubs for Rally Events. We have had members thats Stage Time`s didnt want to upload to the Online Servers, even myself had it happen to me once. Why can a log file not be kept on the members Playstation of the Stage result, until the next time the game can succesfully connect to the Server ?? Why does the game add either 15 Minutes or 20 minutes, depending on stage length to the poor okes time , where everyone else`s average Stage time was around 5 minutes ? Surely take at least the average/slowest okes time at least , and NOT a ridiculous time like 15 Minutes . Basically , when this connection issue happens , your rally aspirations for the Current event is gone, through no fault of your own. @PJTierney , I`m sure this has been brought up before, but would just like some feedback regarding this, as other than this and the White Rain issue, we are all Loving this Game alot !!!

No worries. Once it re-surfaces , I will try and post a link .

I did a search , and unfortunatly cannot find anything on this yet. Hoping somene else will find the tidbit , could have been Twitter I cannot remember. Went something along the lines of the Drivers being Warned to behave as they still represent Williams, even if in Online Guise.

Dont know about Codemasters, but Williams did mute their drivers.

Which should not be like that , and needs to be looked at.

Problem is the Kiddies cannot buy Wheels yet , but want to be as fast as the Adults , with Drivers Licences and Wheels.... So CM Listens to the Kiddies, because they are the most that buys the game apparently.

Yes agreed !!

With even More Assists Options , (which I understand for the new Drivers out there) it just become more imperative to SPLIT to Leaderboards and Lobbys. Because currently , you have the situation where the Best Drivers in the World, will still run some Assist combo that doesnt slow them down at all , and makes them more consistent and easier to drive. This means they are winning the battle, but should not even be in the same Lobby/Leaderboard as the other bloke slugging it out with everything OFF , MAX Difficulty enabled. If you want to have all abilities and Assists in the same Lobbies and Leaderboards , then some sort of a Handicap system like gholf should be applicable,
