Obviously, everyone would prefer that we never had these issues in the first place, but it's good to see they're making efforts to keep gamers happy in the meantime.

Sounds good, I'll be getting in about that. No mention of the challenges, weather or private lobbies though I'm happy with the new content though as it'll get me back playing it as I've lost a bit of interest recently. Hopefully this is the start of things going right. If so, I'll take the plunge and get the season pass

Yeah FF. I'm still a little concerned they're adding features like photo before the game is actually working properly but will just get on with it.
If they can get this working I'll probably actually buy the season pass.

Ironically more folk might now buy the game to qualify for the free dlc packs

Looking forward to the new content. Photo mode is for single player, tour and challenges, (when they eventually work!) and works via the touch pad. DC has sprang into life again on twitter, still no ETA for challenges...

Private lobbies and the weather are coming in a 'future update'.

Private lobbies should be good but by all accounts we need ability to handicap certain players. >>>>> looks at Lisa.

That's all I really want from the game. Once they're here, it'll be perfect IMO

Guess this'll be easier under photo mode

It'll be different people working on the network/connectivity stuff to the core game content though. I see little point in delaying the roll out of new tracks, modes and cars out of deference to the online issues.

I'm excited that weather is still due to drop before Christmas

Is photo mode only through pausing a live game or is there a replay mode ?

Post-race replays are being added after the weather is done IIRC.

Once they've added all the missing components this'll be one hell of a racing title! 😉 ... Had my 1st proper play last night & thoroughly enjoyed it! 👍

That's your choice of course. But by doing so you're denying yourself the excellent single player mode, and I've managed to get a load of multiplayer races with no trouble.

I'm not defending the game at all, they should have got it right first time, but it's my most played game this past month even with all the issues.

Let's be honest here, it's no longer about the game being broken, it's all about being 'unable' to beat the times set down by Lisa_B_.

I'll never again, complain about female drivers

I'm so looking forward to being beaten by Lisa, with new cars on new tracks lmao.

It's sort of like the Sims in some respects. The base game is ok but once you get the extras it's much better. As SimonB above says once the 'extras' are put in it'll be one hell of a title.

I agree, DC will become the game we were hoping for

It's annoying how when there was connectivity issues, your highscores didn't upload once conmections were working again. It only uploads whatever scores you get from now on, even if you have a higher score on record. I've noticed this on numerous time trials & drifts where I have either no high score or a really low one on the leaderboards, even though during the event it shows I have a pretty good score.

eg: I have a score of 1000 on the leaderboard but during the event, it shows i have a score of 2000 and during the event I score 1500. When the event is over, it won't upload the 2000 score as my best, just the 1500.

Here's a video of just one event I've found this on http://youtu.be/SI0J5Z5-hQM

That's my excuse for being so far behind Lisa anyway, and I'm sticking to it! I'm really top of every race, time trial and drift event but the game's faulty & I can't be bothered going it again 😜

I was on a point to point time trial yesterday and probably got around 3m 20s. The top 10 all have about 1 minute. Now I'm slow but not that slow.

Sometimes even beating the new score doesn't count, even if the leaderboard initially accepts it. I swear I have to redo that Norway drift event every time I go back to the game.

There's also a weird thing with the Pagani drift event, both me and you had good scores on it and then the next time I checked we both had a score of about 200 on it, probably from doing a drift face off on that same track in a different event and then it somehow wiped over the leaderboard scores! Not been able to get anywhere close to my original score since. Clearly they've got all our data so I don't know why they can't just stick it onto the leaderboards.

I think one of the hot hatch events is glitched as well, I'm sure I saw one event where some of the top scores were either half distance times or one sector time down as the full event time instead.

Don't talk to me about the Pagani drift event. It's one of the few (the only?) event I've been able to beat you on. And yet it didn't upload my score. And I beat you twice. Nothing either time. CURSES.

Did you beat me though, because my actual score if/when it properly updates should be around 8200-8300.

Any news on the companion app? I don't think I've read anything about it or else I've missed it?

Wow, yeah there's no way I'm topping that. The score I set feels like a one off fluke as it is, not been able to get near 8000 since. The leaderboard had better update all this, otherwise what's the point busting a gut trying? I'm just glad the Venom lap times haven't been messed with, the 3rd star on that was the hardest work of them all!

My talents clearly lie in drifting rather than racing as I've not even managed to get the second star on the Venom hot lap yet. I have been concentrating a little more on getting my club points up with my two alternative log-ins though
