Fix the monthly!

Recommended Posts

I don't have time to do 24 stages in a row.
It's just not possible when you have this thing called a life on the side of playing Dirt.

Was at 18/24 stages done, then I started going backwards after doing the first of Monte Carlo, now I'm down to 0/24.
Lovely.

And now that I'm at 0 it actually allows me to save at 1/24, I do the first stage, hit Save & Quit between and it works.
If I then go and do then second stage and hit Save & Quit it shoves me down to 0 again.

You can't quit stages when you're running it - there's a penalty 2 stages backwards (current and last one again). It's not a bug.

I don't.
I quit between the stages after it's uploaded the results there's a "Save & Quit" button.

That's interesting, it occured to me before I've restarted the event.
Try go into Online events selection, Details for Monhly, Reset the event and start from scratch.

Try quiting like this: Stage done, load new and then don't start it and quit.

Yeah I've done a reset now, it acts the same.

You mean quitting on the service area right?
(That's the only place I can think of with a exit button after loading a new stage)

Three cases:
3rd stage per event:
Load it, there's a service area. Save and exit to menus.
No backward penalty, safe to exit.

Finished 3rd, leaderboard after uploading result -> save and exit to menus.
No backward penalty, safe to exit.

4th stage per event (no service area before it).
Loaded it.
You have to finish it, upload the result.
Then you can safely Save & Exit to menus.

Are you sure you're quiting to menu and not ALT+F4?

Yes ofc.
After reset, pick a car, do first stage, it uploads result, I pick Save & Exit.
Now it says I've done 1/24, starts it again and I get to do the second stage.
I do the same, hit Save & Exit after uploading the results of second stage.
At the menu it says 2/24, I start it again and now I have to do stage 1 again.

Then you have to wait for the devs to come back from holiday ;)

The way it's setup i think is fair. Will be a pain in butt for some I know, but we want 'real' times being posted, not a million passes of practice converted into one.

First things first, I had done all but one stage done and was pretty happy with where I was, ordinary to the elite folk, but good for me. Got in a discussion about cheats heading into the final stage and was spending more time disillusioned and depressed, so crashed and had to retire, then found out for the first time, compliments of this thread, one can restart a monthly event!!! Yes I am new, and very noob!!

So I went and restarted, but got to a point and the internet dropped out full stop. Long story, me and the ISP know why it's happening, but it's a case of when they decide to fix it, need to dig up and re-lay lines, blah, blah, blah. I'd just completed a good run on one of the Finland stages, and midway through the next, the switch flicked off. Worked out well for me though as I'd just crashed .... :) . Upon my return though, the previous 'good' stage run was gone and I had to do it again.

Just my opinion, but this is good because it penalizes anyone artificially creating this scenario.

So I'm having a similar problem. Whenever I continue my monthly I'm put two stages back.

On the online event screen it said I'd done 6/24 stages. Load it up and see that the game is loading the fifth stage on Finland.
So that sucked, but redid the final two Finnish stages, and got through four of the stages in Wales (so 10/24) before the football started.
When I got back now and loaded the montly again, I'm starting stage 8/24.

The prospects of completing this monthly looks grim.
