twitch.tvWill we be able to use all cars on all tracks?
12
yes please, i want to rallyX with the old legends

Is there going to be any content after the release of dirt? (Like a barcelona rx circuit wink wink) and, why are you guys having trouble with the official skins.

Is there going to be any content after the release of dirt?
Yes please. I want some DLC so I can give more money to the devs, they really deserve it

This is the big one for me too. Will the game die after launch or will it be turned into more of a service?
I'd be happy to pay for additional cars and tracks.

This is something I am very curious about as well. If the devs would release like 20 track and car DLCs, I would probably buy them all.
The major issue with DLCs is that this game has a pretty big online component and any DLC would mean dividing the community. You would have to invent daily challanges for people who own all the DLCs, don't own any DLCs and everyone in between.
Especially because of their attitude towards mod support, I have a feeling that the devs don't count with a long lifetime for Dirt Rally, so I wouldn't hold my breath for any DLCs.

are we going to be able to save replays in the futur ???
9
This. also any plans for a free cam in replays or at least stationary ones you can pan around?
3
i agree !! most of what we see during the replay is cockpit view, and that's not what i want to see in a replay , i want something from the outside just like real life rally ! cockpit view should appear time to time, but not most of the time ..
edit : looks like things are changing with the replay on Finland, less cockpit view, cool :)

Multiplayer rally staggered starts definitive answer please.
I understand the opinion you guys expressed about people possibly not wanting to wait for staggered starts which might be true for public online play, i suggest atleast adding staggered starts as an option for those who do play within a community.
I personally feel due to the simulation nature of this game you'll actually find players are happy to wait to run staggered start and if you added two versions of multiplayer rally the staggered starts would be the more popular.
If we don't end up with Rally and Hill Climb staggered starts i can see myself getting tired of this game, despite how much i love it, as i don't get much time to play games the time that i do i prefer to game socially.
I'll personally beta test the hell out of staggered starts along with a community of friends, who i bought the game for back at day one when i assumed staggered starts was just a matter of time.
I truly believe you can create something special here, and i'm willing to put time into seeing it happen.

I want staggered starts so I can pass people, not so much that I have online friends but you make a good point. Hopefully they answer this!

I'll be your friend! we could probably organised a good r/dirtgame lobby and actually follow a set etiquette if given the ability by codemasters.
I'm unbelievably excited at what could we achieved with staggered starts within a good community. it's potential to make this great game even more enjoyable has no limits.
and i actually believe due to the games target audience with it being a simulator, that community could very well be the whole DiRT rally community, this option isn't some niche gimmick wanted by the few.

when will copying players set ups be added ?
this feature would help many people who maybe do not understand advanced set ups.
so find player relevant car match set up. would be amazing.
8
it is coming!They said it was supposed to be available with this update but something came up and it was delayed, so I guess it will come up soon enough.
2
I'd go so far as to say generate a string that can be easily copied/pasted to forums/chat etc.
It shouldn't be a big deal to do that, hell depending on how the code is its one day job for the back end and then doing the UI for it (export setup to clip board/import setup from clipboard).
1
This seems pretty nice, now what you can do is take a screeshot and try to mimic the settings but it could be done much better with just an option of "Download setting from internet" or something like that, you can even have a 5-start system where users vote for the best setting for x car in y circuit , endless posibilities.

Will there be more variation in the stages per country? I just fear what we have currently (two big stages cut up into multiple smaller ones) will quite quickly get a little old. Within the first week of gameplay it was quite apparent how often you saw the same bits of road. Would love to see 4, maybe even 5 bigger stages that could also be made into smaller versions, just to add some variation to a single rally.
6
Any chance for a time trial mode to hunt your own personal best in each stage? With your own split times and not that from the AI or Delta? Ghost mode perhaps?
6
Do you have better leaderboards planned for future updates? Like checking the global leaderboards through game menu and / or website?
Also one feature request would be to set a target time for your run so you could see how much ahead or behind you are from your target time during splits. I know just splitting the time with the amount of splits doesn't give a proper feedback as splits are not equal in length. But maybe some sort of feedback system during the stage so you would know if you need to cut some corners to make the time ;) And perhaps to see which are your slow sections. Maybe this could be inplemented so that you can select one's time from the global leaderboard and try to beat that. Then if you would record the split times for each run the feedback would be spot on for each split. I think that would work very well and push people to make new record times!

Will we there be new classes in Rallycross?
4
Yes please. Some historic rally cross would be awesome.
5
Fun fact, they started a new class in rally SM (Swedish Championship) with cars like Volvo 140, Saab 96 and Opel Kadett. Cars need to be build before 1974 and driver must be over 50 years old
8
If you could watch one, just one rally season from any time period, with newest broadcasting techniques such as HD and drones, which would you choose?
4
What player experience improving things are you currently working on that are not yet implemented?
4
any plan for adding the ability to change tire pressure?
3
Will there be an in-game fps limiter? Vsync with triple buffering is too much latency.
3
Use DXtory, demo is fine, no need to buy full version!
1
Could we get adjustment for glancing left/right, with dashcam it barely moves the camera.
3
World RX: How much of the cars stock setups (Diff settings, suspension setup, etc.) is based on actual data and which parts had to be guesstimated? I love watching the series and driving them in DR feels really authentic. Great job on that.
3
What are the plans going forward with the mechanical damage system? Will it become more unforgiving or stay where it is?
3
Are there any plans to have Motion Blur as a separate option? Right now the only way to remove it is to turn Shader Details to low.
Keep up the awesome work!
3
Is putting in a co-driver mode on your "to-do list" or is it not a planned feature? If it isn't a planned feature will you consider doing it after release? (What I mean by co-driver mode is having a friend or someone read the callouts and work as a team to get the best time. Maybe a special leaderboard?)
Thanks again for your awesome work on this awesome game!

Would you please take the windscreen wipers out of focus? They are really messing with my eyes when they work.

Are you guys planning on giving us the option of changing tyre compounds from the setup menus?
I also would add that would be nice to see what kind of tyres there are underneath the car.
As much as I really like this idea, I feel it would only really work if the stages had more mixed surfaces and the weather was less predictable.That way the choice of tire would be more difficult, where as now I think there would be an obvious optimal tyre (and lets just assume that the game makes that choice for us)
I would like to see, for example a welsh stage 40% tarmac, 40% gravel 20% mud and a 60% chance of rain with the following stage being 75% tarmac and 25% gravel and 20% chance of rain. Then your choice of tyre is a real decision, there's no perfect option.
I remember loving that aspect from the old Colin Mcrae rally games, having to check the stage surfaces and weather conditions before picking your tires.
I still feel this is something that really needs to be in the game. It would make tyre choice on the Monte stages quite something, along with longer events with multiple stages before a service area.
