Nobody in the pro tour?

Recommended Posts

From the last patch I can not find anyone to challenge in the pro tour. I queue for 10 minutes but I do not find anyone. why?

It takes 2-4 minutes for me around 6 PM.

It's not a really a peak hour right now, EU is in work/school, US is sleeping/waking up.

What division and tier are you in?

haven't played a single game since i got promoted to division 2 tier 6 last friday, although i've been online for hours each day (while doing other things, obviously). seems like there are not enough players for 21 tiers. maybe its better just having 3 divisions, where you can get mixed up?

You've ranked up pretty fast so you may need to leave Pro Tour for a while so other players catch up with you.

How many games it took you? I've played Pro Tour for a while, mostly won and I'm still in Div 3 Tier 5.

Unfortunately online just doesn't have enough going for it.

The tiers feel meaningless (I know they are NOT meaningless).

They should have modelled a similar system to FORZA Divisions. I think this would have been met with far more success.

I strongly believe pro tour will die a complete death within a month.

I check into it every time I have the game on & have never found an opponent.  I honestly don't know what it is or how it works

Long time to wait for other players and the bug that you will loose your technicians while playing is one aspect which holds people from playing this. And there is a bug that the game freezes at the end of a stage reaching the marshall which will result in a 7 point penalty ... 

So I'm not wondering that nobody is playing the Pro Tour

You can loan cars, you don't have to use your team.

I find with pro tour that certain classes are more populated. R2, and Group A. I seemed to find plenty of races, other classes can sit in the lobby for 15min and only see 1-2 other players.

What is the point of having your own team then?

Also in multiplayer I can't find anyone to play, don't know what is wrong with matchmaking in DiRT4, well also in DiRT Rally, I have never raced online in RX, because "nobody was playing" I think it would be better if you can see the server list and you choose in which one you play.
And for pro tour I Will make it more attractive to people to play it, give a huge bonus if you reach to the highest level, a car (don't need to be licensed, could be a generic car like the ones in landrush, but for rallycross or a generic WRC 2017 car)

You don't have to loan cars. It's up to you what you want to do.

I think it really depends on the time of day you play - which can also be a chance thing.

I've sat for yonks trying to get a race, but then last night, I played at a different time and I got one 8/8 and a few 4-5/8's - which was great!  

The scoring was still a bit skewiff, but that elusive 25 event achievement is getting closer!

I'm really struggling with this as well (Xbox)
Finding people is the main issue, I can be sat there ages....number of players goes up to 2...then 3 then back to 1 again. 
And then there's the points issue, I ended up getting relegated due to being disconnected twice (my internet was fine).  I'm now finding it really hard to get promoted again as I can't get any games going.
The whole Pro Tour is a mess and needs a complete rethink.

The whole game is!

And this versedi character here is utterly cringe worthy! A CM plant perhaps? Or just a superfanboy? Defend this piece of crap game all you want, it will remain a piece of crap!
