Already knocked down to 7th. Damn you Hennessey!
#1 in the world on one of the Scotland maps with the Vanquish!
Yeah I know that feel. Gonna be tough to break into the top leaderboards without those hyper cars. Good thing there are car specific leaderboards too.
there is only one other person on the leaderboard

Please. We've seen game-breaking bugs that take months to get patched before, and others that were never even acknowledged by the developers or publishers. Obviously everyone involved would have preferred not to have any problems with the launch, but to have day-by-day feedback from the developer and what looks like it may be a significant fix within a week? That's the way I'd like to see issues dealt with by others because at least some great games will have problems at launch. It's absolutely inevitable.
I am going to ask this question in here. Sorry that its off topic but I think its relevant..
what is the best audio settings for driveclub or games in general?
I have the option for LPCM or DTS bitstream. I thought LPCM is supposed to have a high bitrate but its fixed at 576kpbs whilst DTS bitstream is at 1.5mbps...
should I leave it at DTS bitstream?
I am using HDMI btw.

I'm using third person. I honestly tried and tried the cockpit view, but I just can't get it to work for me.
Bumper cam gets some use too, when I want to go WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! SHIT THIS IS FAST!!

Clicked for the footage, stayed for the music. Some nice clips though too!
I finally found some footage of the Atom looks awesome, weird how they added visor cam. First game I have seen do that with an open car.

Nice that the servers seem to be up.
Doing some time trials.
So how does this work? Says I was #1 globally, but then another screen shows i'm #185 globally. Did the first one refer to the car I was racing with? Is that what i'm #1 at? I assume so since it certainly wasn't the fastest car in the game.

Looks like my console is dodgy. I said Last week there were bits of shrubbery floating over the track. Thought it was the disk because a few disk read error screens had popped up. Today's my free day so I went back to the store I bought it from, and it works fine on his PS4, so I guess it means my drive is messed up! Waiting for a call from Sony.
Tell you one thing, the game looks like trash on the badly calibrated screen in the shop. I honestly don't know who I feel more sorry for players who have tv's set up like that or devs who sweat to make a game only to have it played on a shitty tv!

LPCM is the way too go. This is true for all consoles, btw. LPCM is the uncompressed, high bitrate audio stream. Any other format goes through a codec and has compression.
DTS is compressed, lossy, 'last gen' surround format. The benefit to DTS and DD is that they're low bitrate, so can be transmitted over optical. LPCM needs the high bandwidth of HDMI.
DTS-HD Master Audio is comparable to LPCM, in that its compressed by lossless codec. But if your receiver supports LPCM, just always choose that.

Okay, online is pretty funny. So many people driving like maniacs. If you can hold it together in the beginning you're fine. You'll get a good lead and they're too crazy to catch up.
Had some guy trying to take me off the road and I just hit my brakes perfectly and he went flying off to the side as I road off in to the sunset.

Rad! We're all full now (or should be VERY soon) with people at varying levels. I think sitting at level 8 now? Still have around 100 kudos-filled trophies to do in career mode so there's still a few to contribute to the club.
I'm wondering if there are bonus kudos for completing challenges when they're finally up? Does anyone know?
Oh really? I didn't know that's how it worked! I was wary of not being online when completing challenges, but I won't stress about that now.
You should be happy, Gen X is in our club

Jumping straight from Forza horizon 2 thread, to randomly getting mad at other people getting excited about GT7, then trying to drive by shit post about Driveclub.
lol these juniors in Driveclub threads sure don't exactly make it hard to call them out.

My nonscientfic estimate is that like, 90 of tvs these new consoles are played on are garbage. Many LCDs, especially if older, are terrible. I brought Driveclub over to a friends house and it did the game zero justice.

Aw thanks!
Not unlocked the Atom yet, I kinda stopped doing anything but the single events until i can join a club. Looking forward to a proper photo replay mode too!

Fantastic!
Yeah, Rushy tweeted that over the weekend I believe, that once you're in, it should count next time you're online.
I've had two solid nights of constant connection. Leaderboards up tonight.
I've pm'd TJP again, he's close on getting a ps4 to play this.
I leveled up the club 3 levels last night, and hopefully 2 more tonight. I'm still focusing the high payout accolades. I may be slow, but at least I'll dump points into getting those cars unlocked.

My goodness I just want to start an event bbut it keeps going to an error. when it does work, I'm put on a team with members that are ramming me off the road.
Because it's a great game? Online isn't that much of an issue when the single player is still great, I wouldn't say the AI has issues, and 50 (with 9 more free ones coming) is hardly a ridiculous lack of cars.

Need to find some decent ones on the ps4, not much to work with.

Are you doing this all on your own? I'm on Club level 4 and barely any of my fame is moving the needle. I'm only playing Time trails and Tour mode.
Are you talking about tour mode events? That's what I'm concentrating on as well, with the online stuff and time trials not offering much in the way of points. Are there specific ones to do that can be repeated for a higher payout?
FYI As far as my progression goes, I think I'm sitting on around 100ish trophies, having 100%ed all of the events thus far. So about halfway through.
Well that's a post history to be proud of.
Did you end up getting Destiny before SO after all?

Yes, you bet! To level up faster, go to your driver profile, progression status, then driver accolades. You'll see a slew of challenges there. Some of them are worth a lot of fame points. The mfg ones have pretty big payouts, and are the quickest really. Drive a certain number of miles in that car in tour or events, and get 100,000 to 200,000 a pop. And it'll tell you how many miles you have left.
I think I have about 8 or 9 races left in the tour, was wondering how the hell we'd get the club leveled up at that point, but then found all of these. So redoing events trying to beat Shaneus' times in certain cars to rack up miles.
Fun to try out different cars while doing it.
Super addictive game.
MP races are clusterfucks as usual though. The challenges that pop up relieve some of the frustration of getting banged to high hell in a race at least.
Ohhh, of course. Never mind my question then!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're similar to the driver affinities in FM4, yes?
Edit: Oh wow, you can see some of my times? There's only been a VERY small number of tracks I've been trying to master the hell out of. It's strange how zen it can get, to sit on the one closed course with the one car and just go around and around and around. The Chilean ones with their elevation changes are perfect for that, IMO.
Do you get points for beating them?
Oh they're a hardcore xbox fanboy. Suprise surprise.
Jamesways
Member
Exactly. And through the tour you find you're close in a lot of cars to some really big payouts.
I can't wait until the Challenges open up. Half the game is essentially the Rivals mode in Fm4 and 5, with added fun of variable time of day and soon to be weather.
That's going to keep people busy a long time.
Edit- Yeah, I can see your times now. Beat one or two in India. Not many. You do get a little bump in points for beating the next person up the ladder. If you have the HUD on, it'll tell you who's next during the race now. I hear you though, love that racing zen of just turning laps, perfecting lines.
It's Rivals mode in game.

I was worried how all these people who are close to done with career would level up clubs after the server stuff, seems like quite the grind for little points.
But with all of these challenges/accolades, shouldn't take several members long at all. Clever system all in all.

The game didn't blow me away until I did Audi Showdown in the Amateur section of the tour. Holy fuck.
