Creating custom championships

[cjhill 9]

I want to create a custom championship with all the rallies in the 2001 Subaru, ideally starting with the Monte and ending in Wales.

Is there an easy way to do this rather than having to add each stage separately for each event? I’d there not an option to add all stages? Takes hours to set up

It needs an option to auto-fill the slots.

I asked for this months ago and it was ignored.

Yup. Did a custom the other day. It’s too lengthy a process.

Why not a system where you just select the various stages with a check and then confirm once they are all highlighted? What’s worse, is every time you pick a stage and then go back in to the location it starts you at the beginning so you need to scroll a few stages before you get to the next one you want.

While they are work on this, please make it possible to make an custom event with all stages in a country and then play the event with 1-4 people like the old CM games :)

This is really great!

But how come, there needs to be a thread to make somebody aware of this? It takes literally only one test to spot the shortcomings OP and Buckywilder pointed out.

It's not about being aware - it's about seeing that the community wants this enhancement enough to prioritize it over other enhancements. Threads show there is more than one or two people who want the feature, so the dev team can then move that feature up to get it into production sooner

Yes, that would be great! I really miss the «hot seat» mode playing rallies and championships with three of my friends. 😊👍🏻

[EvilCee 30]

Please make the hot seat a priority.

Desparately want this.

Whilst we're on the subject. The game frequently crashes in Custom Championship on PS4 when loading the next rally.

I've been doing this for quite a while as it's cool to have all 11 events in their realistic positions in the classic calendar. 

Best thing to do is to create it once and save it. Takes a little while but worth it in the long run

Hey PJ did something happen with this? Having sadly discovered career mode is permanently broken I am going to try out customs. Dont care if there is no auto progression I can reward myself If I place high enough at the end with higher difficulty ai. 

Sorry I meant to write CONTINUOUSLY BROKEN not permanently. Obviously making career offline compatible would fix this over night as who seriously gives a **** about leaderboards except the cheaters ANYWAY?!?? For real let them have their rattle and let them shake it.

Caps lock doesn't help get your point across any better by the way.

That's good thanks for the update I almost started a custom series last night but ended up starting historic instead.

I have to comment on your caps lock comment: Firstly making that comment In a tiny font was either hypocritical or sarcastic or maybe both. I never have been a "caps lock" forum poster. I only use shift-key type in 2 situations. 1) short quote caps which is faster than inverted commas ("") and and also cannot be interpreted as sarcastic. Please note that this sentence talking about your "career" mode and or "continuously broken" game comes off as both sarcastic with the first use AND (see note 2) confusing with the second. I quite definitely wanted to undo my initial statement with a more accurate one so words were in caps instead of quotes to emphasize this. The other usage is to emphasize feeling in a sentence without using any profanity despite feeling that the latter would be more suitable.

Example would be "this career mode deletes all my progress EVERY time I quit the game." That's about as polite as I could write that sentence tbh. If your reaction to a new player to one of your games is to sarcastically (sorry but it was) complain about only THREE words (that's how people actually correctly emphasize words in posts) being in upper case it says a lot about how much you care about a valid customer complaint that has been an issue since game release apparently.

I absolutely NEED (correctly emphasized) to get across the depth of feeling I and many others have against career even being online in the first place and then to add insult to injury it deletes your entire progression on a relentless, unavoidable basis.

I bear no ill will to you or any of the staff at Codies, I have in fact probably spent too much time defending you on other forums. Tackle the ball not the man and in this case you gave us a defective ball that deflates an a regular basis during game play so I retain the right of complaint as a paying customer.

Sorry I needed to write this post but that small font was just too inflammatory to let pass without explanation or rebuttal. Hope you're all, safe and well over there in Blighty.

I use small italics as a form of whispering, when something isn't a part of my main message, sorry if it flared you up 🙂 

 

Regarding resets, I understand your frustrations, losing progress in any game is a real pain.

I don't know how or if it can be resolved with DIRT Rally 2.0 though, it's beyond my level of expertise.

If I hear anything or have the opportunity to raise it, I'll do so.

I don't know it for sure, but my resets stopped completely after I did that reset progress-thing in march.

I complaint heavily between august and march, that the game resets my championship on the same spot (4th rally, after 2nd stage) everytime.
The game chrashed and after restart it got resetted.

But since I did that reset for the achievements, I did several career championships without an issue (with the same cars).

I bet it has something to do with the compatibility with some of the older patches and/or with the integration of some dlc rally locations into the career.
