I gave greece a try. Screen froze twice during the first stage, and the game just locked up during the second. I'll try again tomorrow.

Next event should be better. There was a pretty good deal on an RX 580 on Friday, I just had to order one.

I had a great run. Couple minor issues but nothing important. I am getting used to GroupB RWD. Liking it alot. I actually think I like the Lancia more than the Opel Manta now.
On another note, I seem to be better at the game the less I play it. I really only play now to compete in the league. And I seem to be improving. Where as before I played it everyday and seemed stuck at a certain level.
I really hope the league stays alive as I still really enjoy and look forward to it each week.

Ohh very nice. Even without the bigger mistakes i made, it would have been close, but well mistakes are mistakes. I had small ones everywhere ofc also like going a bit wide and loosing momentum for the corners but that's normal. Looks like you have improved quite a bit or i'm going backwards :D. I'm also only driving the league events.

edit:

By the end of the second stage i was leading over 6 sec. 3rd stage mistake took my lead down to virtually zero. 4th stage, i dunno what happened there, can't remember any major mistakes (i know i was careful on the later parts of the stage cause its narrow there and hitting a rock wall can kill your tire), but lost another 4 sec there to you it seems. 5th stage was the worst for me, when i went out and had a long trip before i got back to road, lost 10 sec there :) then last stage i took 5 sec back. Just doing some analyzation :) Doesn't change the result. Looking forward to UK also.

Greece done, and surprisingly my GPU crapped out only once. My driving wasn't great, but at least I was consistent. Until the last stage all my runs were around 12-14 secs slower than the fastest time. I was losing my concentration on the last one and took a couple of detours.

I should probably be better at this after almost 400 hours, but at least I can always filter our league results by "Controller" on Racenet and feel like a winner. :P

Quoting: chancho_zombiehey guys !! I just bought Dirt 4 and it runs really well on Steam Play. I'm getting well over 60fps on medium settings with this rather weak card (rx460). Anyone interested in creating a League? remember that with Steam Play it counts as a linux sale now.

Not me, sadly DiRT 4 is not the DiRT Rally (Waiting for DiRT Rally 2, hope feral ports it). Its more arcade game and with boring tracks. But feel free to create a League if there are people who have this.

@Xpander Yeah I need to get a bit better still to beat you if you make no mistakes. A flawless run is pretty rare though I guess.

@chancho_zombie I got the game, played it a little. I would try it in a league and have a go. Maybe that will make me enjoy it more.

@tuubi That filter thing is funny. Before I got my wheel, I kinda did the same at first. I actually think I was better at the game with the controller. I remember giving Xpander more of a challenge. Maybe he got just got better tho. /shrugs

@chancho_zombie It does have simulation mode, but it still doesn't feel right like dirt rally. I have been told that if you look past that and play it a good 5 hours at least, that you will get used to it, and it feels great. So my plan is to give it a really good go before I go uninstalling it.

Greece was going badly, then worse, then I fell off the track, in one of the "unrecoverable" areas. DNF :(

Must admit I'm struggling more than usual with the RWD vehicles - I suppose they're the ones I've used least, and they handle so differently to the rest of the vehicles.

@chancho_zombie

Any idea about wheels/ffb in proton? (beyond what is in the issue thread). The last report on the matter suggested they were working, but without feedback - but that was a month ago, and things have moved quickly in Proton.
Xpander Nov 28, 2018
UK Done. Enjoyed, but had few mistakes here and there. 1st 2 stages didnt go too well.

S1: half spin on the second corner, reverse needed
S2: half spin on hairpin, reverse needed, spin on the high speed, engine stall
S3: Clean (few gear shifting mistakes)
S4: Clean
S5: Clean
S6: Clean
