DiRT Rally v1.1 - found a bug? Post it here!

[jennyannem 41]

Hey! Thanks for your patience :)! We should be able to give you an update very shortly.

[RyuMakkuro 6]

Ok, after re-downloading entirety of DiRT Rally to make sure it wasn't some old corrupted files, I can safely conclude that I've found a bug with the 1.1 update.

The very first Pikes Peak event with the Peugeot 208 will give you a different handling, namely that suicidal oversteer that setups have little to no effect on it. After finishing it and starting a new one without closing the game, the car will get it's actual handling... till you restart the game where it all starts again.
With the normal handling, the setups can provide an actual difference, as you would expect. Car no longer has suicidal oversteer whenever you try to turn or accelerate even though it still likes to oversteer, just that it's manageable.

I'm not sure if this is the case for everyone out there, but happens every single time for me. If I want to actually aim for WR times or simply compete in an online event, I first have to finish a quick run in custom event, otherwise the insane oversteer demolishes the cars performance.

Would love a definition of what 'very shortly' is. Obviously won't get any info until after the bank holiday, but just time frame please. We've been requesting about this (with varying degrees subtlety) for a long time now, and as it is obviously a fault with the released product, I do feel, as paying customers (who paid full price and haven't bought it on sale btw) we deserve more accurate feedback about it. I'm talking T300/PS4 issue, if there was doubt..

The headlights on the Volkwagon Polo Rally in the 2010 Rally class during night stages are extremely fragile compared to other vehicles in the class.  Smallish impacts to the car (not even necessarily to the lights themselves) result in total blackout.  I first noticed this while on a night stage in Germany when I spun out in a sharp turn.  Reversing out of the ditch a bit over-zealously, I bumped the *back bumper* of the car into a rock; hard enough to make a thump but with only 15-feet of acceleration space I could not have been going that fast.  This resulted in a total blackout.  I noticed the same seeming fragility when doing a few night stages in Greece more recently. 

To test the theory further, I started duplicating a custom event of a night stage in Finland, but switching between the Polo and the Focus RS.  There is a guard rail on the outside of one of the first few turns of Kotajarvi that is easy to line up a repeatable hard front impact on, roughly the same impact angle and speed each time.  In the Polo striking the rail almost invariably causes total blackout.  In the Focus I usually don't lose a single light.  It seems like maybe the damage threshold on the polo's lights is set extremely low.  Apart from this, I love driving it and would prefer it in the class; but I'm not so skilled that I can finish every night stage without bumping into *anything* yet.  Having one's headlights go out because a spectator passed wind at them can really ruin one's shot at the championship.  :smile:

- Car spin glitch in Sweden stages, example: (not my video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnJqIaOwHoY
- Car parts have a strong blur in replay (close cam Wheel ecc.)
- The Polo trunk lid doesnt seem to get dirty enough :) also the DS3 Rallycross i think
- When the Polo gets damaged at the right side, there is a black field on the window where the opening is (see picture)
The same happens in Germany stages with rain, haven't testet other rain stages though. Here the field is a bit more transparent

The following are only very small bugs but nevertheless:
- White line below right door of the Polo, scratch-like

- The left Polo door isnt completely covered with color.. (small stripes at left and right side)
The right door is ok
Not very noticeable with the original livery but when applying a white livery a little more:

XBox One: After using a service area during a custom rally v's personal best times the game seems to reset the current rally time for your PB opponent back to what i assume is zero, effectively making it impossible to correctly set up a custom PB rally longer than 2 stages..
The giveaway for this is that all previous green progress arrows (on the info loading screen) have turned red

This happened at Monte Carlo (2010 class) using a car that already had a PB for each stage (no blank times)

Hello!
This happenes third time now. When I finish a race the music slows down and I can't play the replay. When I try the screen freezes and shows the last moment when I finished. I can even change cameras but those views are buggy too. What's up with this?

Hosting a 6 stage league and some drivers have already posted their times.

One driver accidently retired out of a stage, rather than save + exit, and cannot reset the event.

I have clarified with other drivers and they too cannot reset.

HOWEVER, I know that I enabled it in the options, and I succesfully reset it for myself after posting a slow time on the last stage.

Promoting drivers to manager/owner has no effect, and kicking them from the league, then reaccepting them still yields a completed event with no reset option.

HALP.

I have managed to reproduce the orange/pink loading screen bug -- I was loading a stage when someone wrote me on Skype, so I tabbed out to see what the fuzz was all about - and the DR loading screen went funky. It went back to normal once I hit enter after loading though. 1920x1080 resolution, 60 hz.

Well yeah, me too - but it does occassionally turn the loading screen pink or orange.

That bug is an infrequent and massive pain.  Nobody sees it for a a while, then someone will get it three times in a row, then nobody sees it for a while.

Are you sure it's only the loading screen? Maybe it's the whole world around you that turns pink/orange? After all, you're the Dude. ;)

[bogani 756]

I have a few other strange issues. I still have the full throttle on starts-bug now and then. I also have to unplug my wheel and reconnect it before I start the game. If not my wheel setup is not detected.

Oh and I have to unplug my Fanatec USB adapter to get the computer to boot at all. But that's not your fault ;)

An odd thing happened the other day. I was trying to finish the monthly (80's) and when I finished the second stage (Sweden...I don't remember the stage name), I shot past the finish and crashed into the barriers at the end and the game did not recognize that I finished the stage and rather gave me the option to "Recover Vehicle". I eventually re-started my PS4 and did the stage again... not that it mattered as my driving was atrocious...maybe that's why DR was like "yeah...that's not good enough".

It's also happened to me once in Finland - Kailajarvi a couple of weeks back.

Weird thing; had the RX FFB bug since 1.1 - had the stupid Logitech G27 update through windows 10 that turned it into a DFGT, fixed it and now i don't have the FFB bug in RX.....

[bogani 756]

My RX FFB bug isn't there anymore! ;)                                   

[F2CMaDMaXX 505]

@bogani Did you have to fix your G27 as well?

Oh god no. I have a mighty T500RS :smile:

[F2CMaDMaXX 505]

Oh.  But you had the FFB problem with RX?

Yes. Was totally unplayable.
