It did work and I have joined now, so there were four spaces left.... Thanks for setting it up.

As a quick query, now I am in a club if I do some single player without being connected (which has been 99% of my experience with the game). Will the club get the exp points when the connection does kick in?

Thanks for the replies. At that price think I'll give it a go. Hopefully they will fix the AI issues?

the more i play it the more i want to play it which is always a good sign.

Nope. You must be connected for the club to gain exp. pretty much anything we did last weekend went to waste as the servers weren't working. It doesn't store it up and then apply it to the club when you reconnect.

Has anyone managed to download the RUF, McClaren & Mercedes preorder packs yet? It keeps saying the download failed & when I click to try again, I get an error. The only car I've managed to download is the Mercedes GT AMG from in the game

I contacted playstation support about this. It's the same for everyone. That DLC hasn't actually been released yet and so causes an error. It also causes an error when you try to restore licences in your settings.

The game looks nice but the AI is very annoying. You can overtake cleanly and then when braking into a corner you get forced off the road by the AI cars and then get penalised for it.

I must be the only one who loves the AI. Don't get me wrong, they're a crowd of b@stards, but I like it. I find tame AI so boring.

And all I do is shove them off the track, so it's only fair they do it back to me.

I might be in the minority here.

Hmm - that's a shame. Hopefully the servers are more stable going forward then.


I like the AI to - they are aggressive, but with each other as well as you. I really enjoy grabbing a place when two of the AI drivers have a coming together at a corner. It is very motorstorm-y


Nope - still getting the error code too. Probably the least of their worries at the moment though..

It's fine having aggressive AI but these aren't aggressive they just don't take into account your car is there. They just try to force their way back onto their pre-defined line. It wouldn't bother me if the player didn't get penalised when they hit you.

I bought the season pass for this game but I cannot download it from PS store. I'm not sure if it's to do with the game itself or the maintenance that PSN was undergoing.

I'll be happy to join Digital Spy 2. Just cant get online at the moment.
My psn is jaffa-mad

The scores this game have got are a disgrace in my opinion. Such a great game. I give it at least 8/10 so far and still havent touched online yet so could go higher

To be fair, if you check metacritic, DC has 36 positive critic reviews, which is a 75 or higher, but just 19 mixed and 1 negative. While some reviewers have been overly harsh on it, most have got it spot on.

well i purchased driveclub and have been playing single player as it said the servers were offline. as i was about to finish the servers come back online and played a multiplayer game, i'll have a few more games tomorrow but if anyone wants to add me, my PSN ID is james_30

There might not be anything to download, it could just be an unlock key for the content which will be added via updates.

Right, we could be saying the same thing here, so for the sake of clarity, as far as I'm aware once you're in a club anything earned while online or offline will be added. What isn't included is anything earned before you joined said club (as you said, anything done last weekend).

Is that how everyone understands it?

If you're not in a club but then join a club, any XP you've earned before joining won't be added to the club.

If you're in a club but the servers are down, any XP you earn won't be added to the club when the servers are online, you'll only earn XP for your driver.

If you're in a club & the servers are up, any XP earned will be added to your driver and club.

If you're in a club & the servers are up but go down mid race, you'll only get XP added to youre driver.

If you're in a club & the servers are down but connect during an event, you're driver & club will earn XP.

Finally manahed to get an online race tonight! Things are slowly improving.

The devs have said that once photo mode / weather are done they will be adding a replay feature to the game. Replays have always shown off driving game graphics at their best, so this should be pretty special.

It could be getting artificially better as some folk give up trying. Hope not though as waiting for a plus announcement

Pretty solid connection online between 8pm and 9:30pm this evening. Connected straight away with no drop outs. Best it's been so far since launch. Got the DS1 club up to level 9 now.

Wow DS2 up to level 7 already! After 1 day! Good work. + congrats to DS1 on level 9

I've time tomorrow to pump into this so DS1 is gonna soar.

Nice one DS2 on the quick levelling. Do ye have yer 6 drivers yet ?

Have any of you raced each other or does that bit not work yet ?

Getting worried over reports of wall running. That is going to be a killer online.

Hi,
I took the last spot on DS 2 last night during one of the brief server up-times (ironleg_gt) which i hope is OK with everybody?
Not the fastest by any means but fairly steady, plus being over 50 means I'm probably the oldest but enjoy my racing, both sim and game.
Some of my scores last night were lost I think, but I'll try and add as much as i can, quite enjoying D/C so far.

Dave

What's that?
