So I bought the game, took my G27 out for the first time in 2015, plugged it in, calibration is off a bit, can't seem to fix it, but it not to bad so I go on and play. The more I play the more the calibration is off...
Apparently it's broken, so i'm now trying to RMA my G27 wheel.
I tried playing with a keyboard, bad idea.

I doubt it, would probably piss reviewers and casuals off unless it wasn't branded as a "dirt" game

What the hell, I can't play the game anymoreMy PC was pretty sluggish, so I decided to do a fresh reinstall of Windows 8.1. Now I can't launch Dirt Rally anymore. I click play in Steam, get the "preparing to launch Dirt Rally" popup and then absolutely nothing happens.
When I try to launch the game directly via the drt.exe I get an Application Error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)". Apparently that has something to do with the Visual C++ Redistributions, so I uninstalled them all, cleaned the registry and installed every redist from 2005-2013 again to no avail
Does anyone else have the same problem. Is there any solution? I miss my daily dose of Dirt
Help?! :'(
One of these might help: https://www.youtube.com/results?sea...on+was+unable+to+start+correctly+(0xc000007b)

Project Cars is available now on consoles and it's reviewing quite well so I don't see why this one can't come to consoles when it's in a finished state.

im not so sure. there is definite mature group of racers that will remember richard burns and the likes.
I was going to say the same thing. At the very least as a downloadable title.

As promised a page or so back here's the blog post I've been working on today.
I plan on doing it every week as an update on what we're working on.
Hopefully you guys find it interesting/useful but let me know what you think either way

I've joined the league as well, and have promptly placed second to last.
This game is perfect for me, I've only ever been interested in rally racing games and only the solo checkpoint races.
I'm pretty terrible at it, but it still feeels so good to take a corner perfectly and just gunning it on the straigth-a-ways.

I'm not last in the league event anymore...VICTORY
the sad thing is I'd be close to the top 5 without the penalties so I need to cut those out next time

It's not a bug though. It's great you are using https but why use it exclusively? Allow http for your blogposts
Using a better certificate is the better solution though. Thanks for the cody blog link.chrominance

Just finished the first league event. Fifth!
Though I admit there was a bit of an unintentional cheat: the game crashed halfway through the second stage so I had to play it again. I had two penalties before that I managed to avoid the second time, so throw 30 seconds onto my time if it makes you feel better.

what does that have anything to do with everyone associating dirt with arcade gameplay? the branding is the problem.
dirt rally sounds 0% less arcade than 'dirt 3'

Looking forward to future Road Books, that was a good summary of the things we're been reading in this thread. That video at the end is pretty great too!
Shit, went out of the track on the last effing turn of the first track of the league. Finished in 10th place there.
Did managed to stay on the track on the second location there, and finished in second. This puts me in 4th place in the standings. Better than I expected.
Try downloading that DLL file and dropping it at System32 to see if it helps.

Thanks. Got a 360MB package full of redist packages. Now I get an Appcrash everytime I launch the game. Seems like "ntdll.dll" is responsible for that... sigh

LOL, I ran both stages in the league, I'm 15th overall! I went off the track (over the bank) twice on the 1st stage, I'd been racing the Ford Escort so much recently that I needed to get used to the Cooper again. Did much better on the 2nd stage, but that first run screwed me.
I love that second stage, that downhill is so much fun.
Wow, 37 people signed up for the league now. That's awesome!

That's the beauty of DR's Early Access, more stuff is on the way. It's like you've already purchased the season pass! So just hang in there. If it's your thing, work on perfecting your times on the courses.
Also, did Codemasters post a stealth update with trading cards? I was surprised to see them in my inventory last night and the store page doesn't mention them as being enabled.

When completing the daily challenge and viewing your leaderboard placement, is there a way to skip to the bottom to see the total amount of entrants? I know you can skip to the top to see the leader.
It's all well and good to know my placement, but I wouldn't mind knowing where I sit on the bell curve

I'm just the opposite, after 10 hours I'm nowhere near bored. I've only bought two cars so far and there are lots of cars I've not even driven yet. Plus I really need to practice more so I can master the tracks that are in the game now.
I feel like I'm just getting started with this game. I'm really looking forward to Pikes Peak though, it's always been one of my favorite rally areas in every game I've played it in. It's also the only rally course I've actually been to in real life.

Day one...
I'm starting from the bottom, but hopefully... one day... with a little practice and a lot of luck...

Ended up with 16th overall, would have probably done a little better if I did not hit a bump on the seconds stage and rocket over the edge :/
Great fun Cannot wait to do more.
Great fun
Cannot wait to do more.After reading this thread for a number of pages, I came home and purchased the game. While my controllers are charging, I did a few practice runs with the keyboard, and immediately lost a tire, leading to driving on 3 tires and a rim for the entire race.
I can tell I'm going to like this game.
Just added myself to the gaf league as well.

Just had a closer look...good to see a couple of other Australians in the league (not to mention an Aussie is currently leading!).
Fingers crossed they add some Australian stages down the line, like the older CMR games had.

As a complete newbie to rally games there are two things I'd like to see:
- Consistency with the "recover your car" keybind. Often I've crashed but the on screen prompt doesn't appear (probably because I'm technically on the road), forcing me to reach to the keyboard, press esc, recover car. It's odd. In a related thought, avoiding car damage by tapping recover car while you are actually in flight and upside down seems like cheating and should probably recover a DAMAGED car, if anything.
- One (1) stage with a wider road, something that allows me to learn how to powerslide without going "nope, that didn't work" again and again.

Pretty happy with that 15th place using a keyboard. I had one 14 second penalty right on the turn before the finish line of the first stage, so if I didn't have that, I would've been Top 10!
Next race I'll have my batteries charged.
Game is fantastic so far, and I'm still only on the lowest class of cars. Can't wait to check out more of them.

I believe Pikes Peak is coming this month in both a dirt/tarmac mix and the modern tarmac variant. It's quite wide in many places so may allow for some powersliding practice.
I'm thinking that maybe the restore car keybind should require you to HOLD the key for 3 seconds. That sounds better than the contextual thing they're using now.
That'd be nice.
I was expecting worse!
How do I get in this league and start hating myself?
