[PJ Tierney]

Hello everyone.

Below you'll find a brief overview of what parts of DiRT Rally 2.0 connect to servers and how to report if you're having server connectivity issues:

Any full-scale outages (ie: zero people can get online) are communicated through Twitter. These are extremely rare.

Occasionally as demand rises on Codemasters servers (across all games), there may be some slower responses when it comes to online features in DiRT Rally 2.0.

Additionally, if Steam is down, so is your connection to the game.

If there are server issues they usually only affect a small percentage of our players at any one time.

All you can really do in this scenario is to wait it out and Retry after a while.

If you would like to make the team aware then please do so by sending a message through our official support thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/DiRT-Rally-2-0/DiRT-Rally-2-0-In-Game-Server-Connectivity/

We do not do one-to-one support on the Steam forums.

Heads up for anyone who had the Codemasters forums bookmarked, you can now use EA Answers instead to report such issues.
