Hello Christina. I cant adress the L2/R2 buttons since day one on my Logitech G29 (PS4 Version) as handbreak. Thats a Problem because my handbrake is wired at the R2 button. In DirtRally i can adress the L2/R2 buttons. Please fix this. Thank you. 

@ChristinaMc do you know about that Problem...?

Can you elaborate on this? What was not functioning correctly before?

The DiRTy Dozen trophy still looks broken to me. I can post a screenshot proving I have completed all 12 stages of a monthly event.

[Bybukas 3]

Up and up achievement still doesn't work.

[ChristinaMc 784]

The DiRTy Dozen achievement will pop at the end of the monthly event, @Infernothefox :) @Bybukas we'll look into this - what platform are you on?

Thanks for the update, the only issues I have is when I go on pro tour my PS4 crashes. Going to rebuild the database today hopefully that will fix it

Nice update , thanks for nothing, still can't play it, cause theres no update for thrustmaster t500rs ps4, i bought this game on day one for nothing , do you have any ideia how much is a game here in Portugal?, its expensive, so, when you buy a game on they one (at that price), you must know it and like it very much, otherwise you wait for the price to drop, thats why im very hungry about this...!!!

This is on you, pal. It's not a bug, it was never included in the first place. PS4 doesn't support some wheels if not specifically programmed for. And DiRT 4 supported wheels list got online way before launch: http://blog.codemasters.com/dirt-4/05/dirt-4-faq/

You see no T500 for PS4. I'm not saying it is a good thing it's missing and sure it certainly could be there if theay would invest the time.
But I'm saying: You did know from the start (At least you could've and should've researched for that info), that DiRT 4 on PS4 would not work with your wheel.

I would suggest to you: Consider selling your T500 base and get a used T300 base, you can even use the T500 Rim on it. Or get a new T300RS. Or DiRT 4 for PC. Or continue waiting for the T500 Update, which could come sure, but CM has no obligation to do it, since they never claimed that'd be included anyway.

Please, change the 208 R5 sound is disgusting. It sounds like the Fiesta R5.

No problem at all, for me it's done, from now on i buy games when the price is low, and if don't support t500rs i don't buy at all

Graphic card - ATI 7070 (Use medium game graphic settings)

My Friend test it track on his computer - all fine, He has NVIDIA gtx970 graphic card.

Fog patches issue should be solved asap. It really seem to work once per game startup, then it just changes to such an heavy uniform fog that makes it impossible to drive especially on fast stages. I'd like to suggest another shot at the Founders invitational for those qho preordered but couldn't play during the launch week. Thanks!

On the Founders Invitational - while we can't make any promises, it's definitely an idea that's been floated. :)

That would be great, not only to win that amazing Hyundai livery, but also to make us founders feel a little special! It should happen like once a month, to encourage competition and friendship among founders and to give a meaning to the shield beside our name!

Christina , is there any chance to get text chat with any update on PC version?
Should not be that hard , online is cool but a bit soulless without text chat.. :(
Session Log tag looks idial to add it there.. I know people that does not buy the game because of text chat lack.. :/

[chukonu 476]

Fixed my rain crashes on a HD7950, yay!
Also it's probably just me but the game seems to run smoother too, yay!

[MiatakiasGR 1]

I have not played a lot yet , but  i yesterday noticed that while i have minor frames drops in rally, land rush and in most RX tracks ,  in french Bretagne RX track i have huge frames drops all the time... I run the game on PC high settings .... Has anybody noticed the same or its just me? :|

What we have to do to let the Flavour of the Week Trophy pop? Did one weekly Event in the first week and one last week. Nothing popped today after the patch. A better description how to obtain would be nice, thanks!  :)
