Finally got to Clubman in career mode and bought a Peugeot 205 T16 Evo II. What a change from the FWD 1960 Mini Cooper S wow :D

That's really cool. Would love to see the opinion of a pro rally driver on a game like this.

Nice Memph, but can you please remove all rain stages? My PC can't handle rain.

I need it pegged at 110 fps @ 7824x1440 otherwise there's too much input lag due to 4-way SLI.

Setting weather to 'low' won't help? If you have shaders on high btw, I'd recommend lowering that. If you go as far as low, it gets rid of that nasty DoF effect, which is a plus for me.
Thanks, I'll look into it. It's on the MEDIUM preset right now with 2x MSAA.

NP. Screw presets though. I have everything on Ultra at 1920x1080, bar shaders, with 2xMSAA on a single GTX770.
Ensure 'Advanced Blending' is off. It's bollocks and rapes your rig. Ambient occlusion is (as always) arguably pointless for the impact it can have. Surely you won't even need AA at that res? Try combining CMAA with FXAA - it adds some blur, but your jaggies be gone for the most part.
It runs fine except I get a 50% fps drop in rain. I think it's a post-fx/optimization issue.

Alright, weather is already on LOW, as well cloth.

Anyway, wanna create another season? I think the one you made before is available as a template. How about AWD?

Everything is on MEDIUM and a few things on LOW. Anyway, it's all good, I'll deal with the rain stage.

You can't disable SLI and keep Surround. It would also cut my FPS from 110 to 30.

I'm a bit surprised you chose RWD for the event, I find it very hard. I'll give it a try though.

The game has managed to convert the hardest of cored Richard Burns fans though, so that says something how it fares as a simulation, for those who take that element seriously.



Bytheby - I done made a Q3W League :owned:

https://www.dirtgame.com/leagues/league/21544/q3w-rally

Sign on up.
- Starting off easy with 70's class in Finland.
- 5 Stages.
- 2 Service areas.
- Stages run though morning, afternoon, night-time, to morning rain.
- No restarts. No do-overs. Practice if you like in a custom run, but once on track you've got one shot at it.
- There's 1 week to run all 5 stages. Post if you sign up and I'll authorise ya.

Bring it slags >:E
Yesssss, great idea. I'm in, just sent my join request.

It was on sale 33% off as part of Codemasters sale until Halloween sale started yesterday. Otherwise its price increases by $2-5 USD with each update, so it's only gonna keep on getting more expensive. I bought it 15% off a month ago, no regrets. Best rally racing game I've ever played.

Aye. First time I've been genuinely glad to have purchased in early access. It started off rough, but it's come along in veritable leaps and bounds. £18 odd to start off, which had Wales, Greece and Cunty Marlo. Then Pikes Peak hillclimb was added + cars. Then 'Tarmac Terrors' in Germany + more cars. Rally Cross and multiplayer circuit racing + more cars. Finland was the last patch + moar cars, next we have the 'Modern Masters' car additions and the Winter Wonderland update before release.

I expect the price will top out at £35.99, to £39.99 with the winter update. Then 33% off over xmas.
Worth watching Humble and GMG for deals/vouchers too.
Honestly I don't mind spending an extra $15 for DiRT Rally. What's that come out to, like 2-3 pints? Man, the amount of time and learning and realization I had this week preparing for my local league's Pike's Peak event alone makes up for it and then some.

Sure, you can wait and buy it cheaper later on, maybe months later. Thing is that you'll wish that used that time to practice. This game is insane.

Memphis, the current event is restricted to 1960's cars?

Nah, it's boring. They're too slow, takes too long to do a stage.

Let's do AWD, please.

Will go 4WD for the next stages. It's only 4 short stages and a long one. Get to bouncing.
Will do, tonight or tomorrow :up:

No way! Practice first, then when you're competing it's the real deal. No restarts, no retries. This is rally.
