I'll be online in a small while. If anyone wants some multiplayer action send me an invite (even if I'm in another game).

Enjoyed the racing tonight guys, some close ones ( and some not so close ).

And good to see Ian last on the grid even when he's not hosting. I'm surprised they didn't mention that handy feature in the patch notes

It was good fun tonight. Glad claymore didn't leave it locked to bonnet cam for more than a couple of races. I don't know how anyone can drive like that.

That's the view I use all the time!

Well, for cars anyway, I use external for bikes.

I generally use bumper cam as the sense of speed is amazing, but am gradually trying to move to behind vehicle so I can overtake vehicles better.

Finally got the multiplayer trophy for finishing in the top 3 in a bikes race in a 6+ racer event.

Seriously, how difficult is it to stay in a race to the end? I lost count of the number of times I missed out on the trophy because people dropped out of the lobby mid-race. Very annoying.

Just to grind all the bikes up to level 15 now....

I found the skill games the easiest way to get quick bike fame for the grind.

But they'll level up naturally if you're not in too much of a hurry for the platinum.

I'm in no real rush, but each time I go on I've been picking a bike and doing a skill event to rank it up a few levels. Think I've got 4 to level 15 so far. The Lytton event is pretty good, gives 20k+ points in under a minute.

Still got to do the photo mode trophy too.

Yeah I did that...and when I went back my ps4 had switched off due to power saving mode!

I'd love to be able to get good photos though, I don't really know how some folk do it, some of the pics are ace.

I've ran into a small problem with leveling up.

You know how to level up after 60 you need the required amount of XP, the required amount of stars and you need to do a certain lap in a certain time. Well the stars bit is throwing me off. It says I have 303 / 345 stars to get to level 67, which is fine because I've only really done the main tour, but that was a year ago. Since my PS4 broke earlier in the year, my stars were all wiped. My profile says I've 303, but the tour says I've none. So I thought I'd get stars from all the DLC but they're not been added to my profile total. Thats stuck on 303.

Long story short, I think I've to go get all the feckin stars again Grrr

I've got a similar issue. I upgraded to a 1tb recently, and forgot to download my game save before going back in to the game. ( yeah, I know, stupid).

So my profile says I've got 1035, but the tour shows none, and my bike stars haven't been added to my profile total. ( technically I should have 1197 ). It's not a problem at the moment, but it might be in some of the later elite levels, will depend how high they go.

Lol - fancy a race to get all the stars ?

Dunno about a race, I might never get them all again.

I didn't think to download the game save either, didn't think I'd need it.

I've had my PS4/Driveclub a week now and was messing in the settings. In storage, under Application Saved Data, there are Driveclub replays at 250mb and Driveclub ghosts at 130Mb

In the game, if I select replays it says there are no replays.

What is the 250mb replay save file for?

That's a very generous price. I've not played the game for a couple of weeks but I'll buy the pass as I go through phases of playing this game non stop them not touching it for ages

They are still tinkering with the graphics on this game.

They are currently trialing a graphics technique called Self Shadowing Parralax Occlusion Mapping, which will add more depth to textures and also adding in tyre deformation.

Also, 9 new cars in December and new tracks coming next year.

2 free tours available today too. One for cars & one for bikes. I've just finished the car one, really easy. Not tried the bike one but I'll probably struggle. I just can't use the bikes at all.

Liking the new club paint job Yuffie 👍🏻

Does the power saving mode not occur in all games? I fell asleep playing Fallout 4 last night and woke up on the couch 6 hours later with the PS4 still going strong. I set it to 20 mins and tested on the home screen and a few games, and only 2 or 3 games seem to shut it down.

I'm guessing it's probably due to individual games saving preferences, DriveClub autosaves everything so is fine to power off but you don't want your PS4 to lose you hours of progress in something if you fall asleep...

Yeah, it's just the normal season. I though it was the new one for bikes that was only £5. The bike one's not available yet.

£5 for the season pass though is incredible value!!! You basically double your game content. I f anyone still hasn't bought the season pass, there's really no excuse now
