If I had to guess the code is completely borked and couldn't handle a high load of users constantly requiring info from the servers. The game while connected online is constantly pinging the servers to obtain leaderboards, ghosts, face-offs and challenges and the game simply can't handle it. Which is hilarious considering they were going to offer part of the game for every PS+ user (~7M potential users.....).
It worked well during the "public" beta phase because 95% of the time those betas are 5000 users worldwide connected at the same time. There was a reason Destiny offered public betas open to everyone: if you are working on an heavy online dependent game, you have to open the gates and allow everyone to test it.
It's a shame because I can't see how Evolution is going to survive this. They were already on the brink of being shut down after the Motorstorm Apocalypse failure and Driveclub delay. Now this will probably the final nail in the coffin. Nobody is going to trust them anymore which is a shame because Driveclub is actually a great game that despite the complete online failure I would have still preordered it again even knowing this was going to happen at launch.
mhh anyone notice the zero in the right corner of the grey challenge window. pleaaase activate them soon.
edit : Cut that... challenges are online *woooooohhh*
edit2: damn you servers, accept and save my time...

Not yet. But you can now select it.Wait challenges are working?!
Am I the only person who controls the car with the dpad?
Wait a minute. Don't cops normally wait for clear stretches of road to perform the PIT maneuver because performing it while there are other road users is a danger to them and the sustpect.The AI in this game man. They are just so ruthless. Any idea when this livery is dropping?
Im sure these guys are slaving away at the game updates and other patches. They're feeling the pressure to deliver.I'm Still loving loving this game!! I can play it for hours.
But please EVO, hurry up with the fixes. Face offs are still glitched. Leaderboards are working better but still not 100%. Challenges haven't worked from day one. Ghosts are hit and miss (this one is really important to me).
Also I hope weather and replays and photo mode are still coming.
Has there been any official update lately?? (I don't have Facebook)
did you say challenges???
Not for long

Guess I'll just leave this here
aye, they are starting to work. kind of..
Not for long
May be worth adding some context next time... because that reads like:
Deleting and re-installing is not much of an extreme, I did it about 10 goes in a row the other day to clear up some of the issues with the latest patch and if it actually did improve/change AA, braking etc.Alright, kicked that Venom Hot Lap's butt last night, never thought I could do it but I finally posted a 1'15"720 I think! It was nowhere near a clean lap, too, so don't lose hope if you're like me (i.e. not that good at racing games). What helped me is having face-offs for the right trajectory on the curves that were the most complicated for me, the 3rd one and the long left one.
That said, I'm not sure what version of the game I am playing (EU here), since the update history on my PS4 stops at 1.04, yet I'm fairly sure I downloaded at least one more update since that one, and I'm reading about 1.06 too... I think other GAFers had that issue too earlier in the thread, can anyone shed light on this? I guess I could always erase and re-install, but I don't want to go to such extremes
Not if he has the digital version. The game is 16 GB.Deleting and re-installing is not much of an extreme, I did it about 10 goes in a row the other day to clear up some of the issues with the latest patch and if it actually did improve/change AA, braking etc.
Only takes about 30 seconds to re-install.
Then yes, that would be more hassle - though you only need 3GB to get going.Not if he has the digital version. The game is 16 GB.
oh please let this weekend be glorious race weekend
omg, this garbage game is not letting me connect. I just wanted to fucking do a few online races. These people don't deserve to make a game ever again.
mh weird, i drove the race challenge, beat it relatively good with a 5:05:xx, but well, saving is not really the servers strenght right now. but at least, a lifesign.
btw, if we get Japan, please , let them include the new Mazda MX-5. what a car.
So if we get Japanese cars which ones do you think we will get?
GTR, NSX and the LFA are given,I would honestly be surprised if any of these three don't appear in the game.
EVO X. I hope.

Why can't i get the 1:23 in the Norwegian Lightweight Series?
I'm ranked 200-400 in most events, but I can't get this lap time.
Wth
So I play driveclub for the first time in weeks.
I select the BHR Track Day event to get that last star in the event.
When driving I see average speed off from random people.
Their top speed is over 1000mph.
I preferred it when the servers were down.

You always kind of could. It would become selectable, but only for a very short period of time. I managed to get in there a few times and get to the screens that have been posted... this was at least a week or two ago.Not yet. But you can now select it.
You either need a near perfect lap with the Mono or a solid lap with the Atom. I found it impossible with the BAC (though many have managed to get it). Was far easier with the Atom.
