Dirt Rally.. looks promising!

[MarkRSi]

I've put my final time in... is there a way to get the times of the stages after I've finished? (PC)

On dirtgame.com, go to the league and top left of the leaderboard table is a picklist. Select each stage in turn to see your times. Cumulative only though.

I'm really having problems, I went to dirtgame.com de-linked it then tried to re-link my Steam Account

"An error occured with the accounts system. Please try again later."

Computer says no........

[born2bslow]

OK try this if having problems...go to the daily event and just do it, doesn't matter how bad you do. On exit it will say downloading online events..once it's odne this go back into leagues and it seems to sync up at last !

As expected I have had a mare!

I had a bad stage 1 getting a puncture and crash in last sector so not too costly.

Freshly pissed off about that, the second corner of stage 2 I get two rear punctures after an off, subsequently lose both rear wheels in the stage and drop 2 minutes! Despite a few fastest(PC) stage times, finish a miserable 1:52 off the PC pace!

The pace of the Xbox and PS4 users is frightening! Are you guys using a steering wheel or a controller? It is more fun on a steering wheel, but I wonder whether a controller is actually faster because you can get to lock to lock in less than a tenth of a second if needed with a controller.

Hi John,

I'm on the PS4 and use a wheel if that helps

I'm on wheel on Xbox, tried with controller but you can be a lot more precise with steering and gas and brake with wheel, only a cheap one, there £70 brand new I think.
Great feeling to finish a clean stage with wheel and pedals. Almost feels like you are there.

Is Racenet still not working for anyone else?

Seems a bit hit and miss for me.

[Allyc85]

It's very hit and miss and very annoying!

Currently winning my first stage on stage 4, by all of 3/100th of a second!

edit: Completely blew the last 2 stages and I'm currently losing to Turbojay by around 20 seconds!

this racenet problem is very annoying, can you play offline? I haven't had chance to try it yet.

Fixed that for you

X-Platform League Event 1 is over! Will put everything into a google docs sheet, as this wiki thing is too unwieldy. There are a number of folk on the PS/Xbox leagues whom I just have the racenet name for. Presume they're on PH? Anyone know who they are?

Thanks that will do, will try and do Germany tonight

I've always thought 2nd place was highly underrated personally

[BaronVonVaderham]

Dr Greenthumb here. At least I wasn't last! What's up next?

[Evilex]

After all this enthusiasm, I purchased the game.
Either what was in the case wasn't Dirt Rally or I'm missing something...
Perhaps the PC version is better. Maybe it's because I don't have a steering wheel.
Ah! My TV must be too small!

Nope. Still don't get it.
Any ideas to improve the experience?
It's got about a week before it ends up in the pre-owned section of my local game store...

I was the same and even now it is infuriatingly tricky but rewarding. Best thing is just practice with some assits on, I recommend stability and traction set to 2 just whilst you get going, anything higher and its uncontrollable due to them cutting in. Get use to the loose handling then drop the assists off. I am still a good 5 minutes off the pace but loving it
