Patch 1.4 - What matters to YOU?

It's a valid request, but it it did not poll as high as you claim. It was 8th out of 13 options on RallyStu2's poll, and did not get bumped with issues being fix - not a single issue above 13th was rectified in patch 1.3.          No single list can be completely comprehensive, but I think you specific issue is adequately represented by "enhanced difficulty options" so feel free to use that to add your vote.

You are forgetting the reddit vote:

I consider the Audio issue something not really necessary to count because it is always being looked at and WAS supposed to be fixed.  So I count that as positoin 5 and position 7 for hardcore damage.

And no, you're out of your mind if you think that "enhanced difficulty options" means hardcore damage IN career.  You basically just skipped over a major gripe for many people there.

The USB polling issue is my biggest problem at the moment, stuttersville with more than 1 usb device(controller) plugged in

DR2.0 has a benchmarking tool?? Where?

It’s hidden 🙂

You have to run it from a command line. Look in the root folder and there is a file in there that will tell you want  to add to a shortcut. When you run it, it launches straight to the benchmark using whatever graphics settings you have currently in game, and then shuts down. It dumps the result in My documents the same as DR 1.0.

If you say so champ, I couldn’t care less either way.

What I would most love to get in v1.4 is to feel like v1.20 won’t be necessary before the game is finished. Sorry for the sarcasm, but really...it’s painfully evident the game was released in a premature state. No this is not constructive I realize, but I really hoped 1.3 would shorten (considerably), the list of bugs reported to date. Alas, we still have audio issues (hopefully three patches is a charm)...and we are 5 pages deep on the bugs report page in less than a day.

Almost comical...and kinda saddening. 😕

Dirt Rally 1 on the Xbox and PS4 had a certain Field of View (FoV).

This was changed in Dirt 4. It was increased, so the road looked narrower, and everything looked smaller. There was visible distortion of objects as you turned.

That FoV was retained for DR2.0. And we have no option to change (reduce) the FoV. Whereas this option is available for PC players.

This is the killer for me. It will remain the killer until that option is brought in for consoles.

It's an amazing game, but without this basic option, it will remain fundamentally compromised for players like me.

 

From the pictures someone else did as a comparison in another thread, the only difference between DR and DR2 is the actual camera position, the default FoV was the same. 

[Jake Cushing 816]

Bogani you've mentioned this a number of times. Mike Robson confirmed the FoV is the same between Dirt 4 and DR2.0 (see the FoV thread I started a few months ago).

He did not say it is the same across the three games.

Unless you have some evidence...

Poll needs some [Nothing] option for each question. There are things I would like to see but aren't essential, and I can't complete the poll

What?

The entire premise of the poll is that all the things are repeated in three categories:

• Essential
• Desirable
• Nicety

If you don't think something is Essential, mark it off in one of the other two categories.

What a horrible patch!!

Sound engine of P208 R5 was one of the best ever, now sounds like a broken machine, with terrible sound??

Why destroy sth that works so fine!?

Another complaint.. why carrer doesn't have now 7 events (with Monte Carlo) or at least give us an opportunity to select ones. 

 

 

[Riggs 1,669]

The Peugeot 208 R5 sound is the real one now. Before the patch it was just a placeholder. Are you sure you aren't having any trouble with the sound? Because I tested it and it sounds amazing.

Yes, career mode really needs to have capacity/ the option to have 7 events, and soon to be 8. You’d have thought this would have come with the patch for the Monte Carlo dlc 😩 

how hard can it be.

What I'm saying is that if you leave one of the questions blank you cannot complete the poll at all.

An answer needs to be provided for all 3 questions.

What a real piece of work you are,  "this poll is not for you".   Sure, two paying members and large community contributors are not to take your improperly designed poll because they want it to be a properly designed poll.  Do it right or don't do it at all.

You know every time you flap your gums here you bump this thread and the poll get's more inputs?

They only thing it seems you want, mate, is an argument. The problem is you're not very good at it.

I generally only post when I have something useful to say, which is why I have more positive votes than I do actual posts. You're running at about -100... maybe you should take a second to think about that.

You can post useful things without being so condescending and antagonistic about it. Multiple people have told you your attitude is unhelpful to good conversation, so maybe take a step back and consider this. Why do you think people are so often hostile towards you? The common factor here is you.

There are three people who seem to have a consistent personal problem with me, @bn880, @afahoy and @Mike Dee. For a while @Rallystu2 and @ianism were piling on, but we seem to have sorted our differences. For some reason, you and your two buddies just can't accept that I might have coherent, compelling and well argued positions that actually help get results.

People aren't hostile to me, just you lot. You're the common factor.

You and your cohort have been here for literally months, I've been on CM forums for years - almost a decade. Take it from me, what is actually useful is when people rally together and lobby CMs to do their job. What is useless are posts like yours, sticking your two cents in to lecture me about "being nice". My default position is "being nice", if you extract anything else that's on you.

@JesseDeya why am i mentioned? i haven't even read posted in this thread (though I did vote) and thus do not know what "piling on" you are referring to.

It's not perfect; there are things I want to see but none of them are urgently required. 

This poll is not for me however, so I'll move on to a different thread.

 

 

If you want my "vote" however, here you go  :

Essential

• -

 

Desirable

• Photo Mode
• Ability to download Tuning Setups from Leaderboards (not on your list).

 

Nicety

• Tyre wear adjustment (also a percentage indicator instead of New/Used/Worn status)

I'm all about time of day options, it can't be beyond the realm of possibility to add some morning and afternoon options.
