I'm getting a 4GB update, in the downloading files I can se they've added Germany, updated Pikes Peak, and added some cars (looks like there's the R5 Turbo).

Awesome. If the Delivery Gods are on my side today, I get my G27 in the mail as well. Perfect timing.
Thanks! I was going to wake up my pc to patch the game... I'll wait till lunch.
Well, good thing I saw this. Guess I'll wait for the all-clear.
Woah, are they planning to release Germany so soon? Not that I'm complaining...
It's probably the location I'm most excited about in this game. =B Too bad it's f*cked for now.
I guess the problem is that people are using the Quattro instead of the 405, haha! Seriously, at least with a Xbox pad, that car is undrivable.

SHIEEEEEEET!!!

great!
Yeah, I'm specially excited with the Ibiza and the 306. I love racing cars from the 90's.
And the Alpine A110 is sweet too.

Wait, so there are new CLASSES of cars as well? Didn't expect so much from the Germany update!

I'm suspicious of the fact that I haven't seen anybody complaining about losing their saves.
I suspect someone at Codies accidentally released the Germany update and their posts about losing saves were to scare people in order to minimise how much it got leaked.

I honestly prefer the Audi to both Peugeots for Pikes Peak, it just feels like it drives better to me. I use a G27 wheel for reference.
Woah, look at all of those new cars! I haven't even driven all of the original cars yet!!!!!!!
Any pics of Germany yet? Man I may need to call off sick this afternoon from work.....
Found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxhH3jZHX0Y
Hopefully we can download it safely soon
Edit:
Download now!

Unfortunately, seems like Germany wasn't meant to be included at all.
Looks like you were right.
Also glad for the eventual update. I just hope they work on controller support a bit more.
What the hell, I just did the first stage of the new event at the league and set 2:50 at my first run. I was pretty happy with it, but I decided to try to push a little more at the second run on the same stage. Then I made a mistake and went off the track. I'd abandon the second run, but someone mentioned here that he was punished by doing that, so I did all the rest of the track just because. I entered in the f*ck-this-shit-mode and ran off the track two more times til the end, finishing at 3:48, and earned the "Take Your Pick" (Win a Hillclimb Stage where both of your Run times are faster than any other) achievement, since both of my times were faster than the only guy who had set times before me. Did I had to pick what time to use on the table? I'm asking this because the game saved my 3:48 time instead of the 2:50, and now I'm mad, bwahaha!

what wheel do you use?
In fact, what wheel and degrees of rotation/force feedback settings to the top players in the leage have?

Hey all, on the off chance any of you got caught with a corrupt save yesterday it would be useful for us to get hold of your save file as it could really help us out in the future.
If you've not overwritten your save yet could you please do the following
Go to where Steam is installed on your PC
usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<USER NUMBER>
You'll then see a folder called 310560
Right click on it and select "compress to 310560.zip"
Email that zipped folder to dirtgame@codemasters.com
Please use the subject line "v04.1 corrupt save"
And hit send.
Again we're sorry to everybody that it happened to, we're hard at work today putting something in place so it doesn't again and thanks for being so understanding.
(I always knew you guys were cool)

Apparently only the time from the second run counts in online events. This bug(?) earned me a nice 15:00 in the Daily. On the other hand, you can safely abandon the first run since it's just a glorified practice run. At least that's what it seems like from my experience.
Congrats on your win in the last event, btw. I seem to have 2nd place on lock in hillclimb league events. Still much better than my results in rally events (360 pad/no assists, fwiw).

I'm going to run the new league event tonight, so enjoy second place while you can!
Who am I kidding, your times are always better than mine, lol! I didn't catch where I ended up in the last one but I think I finished in fifth overall? Let's see if I can finish higher this time....
Well, didn't completely fail Pike's Peak for the daily.
Pretty proud of being under a minute on pace

So, is the update replaced/stopped or should I set my game to "no auto update"?
Alright thanks.
Alright thanks.
Man, this video is awesome (some great customized liveries too):

Have they fixed the wheel FFB/rotation yet? I remember Betta lines had a detailed analysis of it and codemasters gave him special shoutout for bringing it to their attention. I assume they will be working on it.
Nevermind I just saw his post in this thread on it

Hey, guys.
Syroc's on vacation the rest of the month and I'll be responsible for setting up the league seasons until he returns.
For the last two weeks, I haven't had internet access on my desktop and haven't been able to participate. That's fixed and I'll finally be able to race at Pikes Peak and such.
Anyway, I'll have the new season up later today. Since I'm not familiar with the new courses and car classes available, do you guys have any requests?
P.S. Congrats, Robaperas.

Anything but the cars from the 60's, pleeeease! They're so boring to drive, heh.

I love rally games but never really went full sim mode. Rallisport challenge 1 & 2 for example were probably my favorites.
Can i even expect to be good at this game with a 360 controller??

Many people (me included) are playing with a Xbox 360 pad just fine, but Dirt Rally is very different from Rallisport Challenge. RSC was full arcade, while Dirt Rally is a sim. I'd put Dirt Rally on a Forza Motorsport level of simulation. It demands a lot from the player, but not so much to become impossible to play for 99% of the people, especially if they don't own a wheel. It's in a sweet spot for me.

Yeah, some of the GAF league's best drivers are using the 360 pad.
Yep. DiRT Rally is the Dark Souls of rally racers. Easy to play, hard to master, but so very rewarding to keep trying at it.

Hey, guys.
New season's up.
Good luck.
New season's up.
Good luck.
There's just the right amount of grip-slipping/drifts while still being in control of the 70's cars, it feels like to me. But yeah, I don't care for the 60's cars and the Group B seems too powerful to me. So it's like '70/'80/2010's for me.
You think that's a bug they're displaying? Nope, Codemasters wants you to do the last two stages of the weekly TWICE. #Brutal
Good luck if you've beaten your car half to death to attempt to make a fast time. Thankfully I resolved to drive as carefully as possible to finish the weekly for once and didn't have too much an issue. Though I'm probably bottom of the barrel for it. Now to drive slowly for the Monthly.

First EA game i've bought
Dying to finally try it tho
Welcome to the fold, it's a very addictive racing game. It might already be my favorite racer of all time, and it's still in EA for crying out loud...
