Dirt Rally (stylised as DiRT Rally) is a racing simulation video game developed and published by Codemasters for Windows. A Steam Early Access version of the game was released on 27 April 2015, and the full version was released on 7 December.[2] PlayStation 4, Xbox One and physical PC DVD versions were released on 5 April 2016. The Linux and macOS versions, developed by Feral Interactive, were released in 2017.[3] A sequel, Dirt Rally 2.0, was released in February 2019.[4]
Dirt Rally is a racing game focused on rallying and rallycross. Players compete in timed stage events on tarmac and off-road terrain in varying weather conditions. On release, the game featured 17 cars, 36 stages from three real world locations - Monte Carlo, Powys and Argolis - and asynchronous multiplayer.[5] Stages range from 4 to 16 km. Subsequent updates added three more locations in the form of Baumholder, Jms and Vrmland, as well as rallycross and player versus player multiplayer modes.[6] Codemasters announced a partnership with the FIA World Rallycross Championship in July 2015,[7] leading to the inclusion of the Lydden Hill Race Circuit (England), Lnkebanen (Norway), and Hljesbanan (Sweden) to the game.
In terms of image quality, a full 1080p resolution is delivered on both PS4 and Xbox One, with post-process anti-aliasing, along with matching art and effects work, whereas the PC version includes Steam Workshop that consists of preset setups made from each vehicles by users that helps benefit races from different terrains from different tracks (though the game holds up to 100 mods as subscribing to more than 100 mods will not function).
Dirt Rally was developed by Codemasters using the in-house Ego engine.[6] Development began with a small team of individuals following the release of their 2012 video game Dirt: Showdown.[5] The team has emphasised a desire to create a simulation with Dirt Rally.[5][8] They started by prototyping a handling model and creating tracks based on map data. The game employs a different physics model from previous titles, rebuilt from zero.[5]
To recreate authentic car sounds, the developers recorded nearly fifty real world rally cars by placing up to ten microphones in each car's engine bay, at the intake, above the exhaust, and inside the cabin. The audio mix depends on the player's camera location, and also the surrounding environment due to modelling of reverb on each stage.[9] The audio team also captured details such as gravel kick-up, waste-gate chatter, and the whine of straight-cut transmissions. They primarily recorded on-track rather than on a dyno in order to capture off-throttle deceleration.[10][11]
An early version of Dirt Rally was showcased to journalists in late 2013,[5] but the game wasn't officially announced until April 2015. It was released for Windows in early access on digital distribution service Steam. Game director Paul Coleman said that it was important to publicly release an unfinished build of the game so that the development team could get feedback from players.[8] He expressed an interest in releasing Dirt Rally on consoles in the future but said that it was not possible, with it being an early access game at the time,[5] then lent his voice as the game's English-speaking co-driver. Codemasters intended to introduce new cars, locations, and modes in monthly content updates, and make gameplay tweaks throughout the early access process. The full version of the game was released on 7 December same year. The game was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 5 April 2016.[12]
GameStar gave the game 90% and said "Dirt Rally is the best rally simulation at the moment and one of the best racing games of all time. Beginners will find it to be quite difficult".[22] GamesTM celebrated the change of direction, saying "this is the best thing the 'Dirt' name has ever been associated with and rallying enthusiasts are sure to be relieved that the obsession with the kind of American slang that was only partially hip in the 90s has been overcome and removed".[23] Play magazine said that "it doesn't patronise with gimmicky mechanics, nor is it a dry, joyless simulation".[29] GameSpot praised the physics model, graphics, and the range of cars, but said that the "Hill Climb and Rallycross modes feel half-baked".[20] Italian version of Eurogamer agreed too: "All we can hope for is new content - more cars and tracks".[17]
The game reached number 1 in the UK PS4 physical sales chart,[35] and number 19 in the European download chart.[36] It reached number 2 in the UK multiformat physical sales chart in its week of release, only behind Quantum Break.[37]
The month after the release, The Official PlayStation Magazine listed Dirt Rally as the 16th best PS4 game of all time.[38] The Telegraph listed it in their top games of 2016.[39] TechRadar included the game on their list of the "10 best racing games on PC".[40] Octane magazine put it at #1 on their list of the best sim racing games.[41] At the BAFTAs, the game was nominated for the award for best sports game of 2016.[42] Game Informer gave it their award for best racing game of the year.[43] Gameplanet listed it as one of their best games of the year.[44] Alphr put Dirt Rally in their top 5 PS4 racing games.[45] PCGamesN said it was in the top 3 most realistic PC racing games.[46]

I could maybe see that being the case for an older game that has since gotten a sequel, like AMS1 or PCARS 1 or 2, but DR2.0 is still today a very popular game that I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate having official recommended settings for, that they can use with their expensive new sim equipment they've bought.
Besides, if Assetto Corsa was released in 2014 and has gotten an update here for CSL DD recommended settings: -corsa-pc-fanatec-recommended-settings/p1 then there's no reason DR2.0 (released in 2019) should be considered "too old" to receive the same treatment.
first thanks for the work you do with the new driver 443, update right now and no problem dd1ps4 and ring porsche 911GT3 R all correct. I know it does not correspond here but it is not wrong to mention it.
I know these aren't "official" settings, but since we clearly won't be getting any from Fanatec for the CSL DD / GT DD Pro, I thought I'd share my settings, which I am pretty happy with how they feel.
Each car has different degrees of rotation of both the steering wheel and the wheels. Setting a fixed rotation value is fundamentally wrong. There will be cars that are too sensitive while others with too slow steering.
If car A has 540 steering, and a wheel rotation of 18, 18 to the right and 18 to the left, while car B has a 1080 steering rotation, and the wheels rotate 36, which of the two will have the most sensitive steering? The answer is that they will both have the exact same sensitivity. Both cars have a steering ratio of 15, which means that you need to turn the steering wheel 15 to get a 1 angle on the wheels. With car B it will be easier to park in the Ikea square, but I would say that it is not important. The steering sensitivity is the same, except that car B can steer the wheels more, but we will never use the greater steering in a rally, where cars are cornered with load transfer.
At this point, get into the car, and you will notice how the real steering is perfectly synchronized with the virtual one you see on the screen. If there is no synchronization, you will need to perform the in-game steering calibration again.
Enter the options of the steering wheel and the tab where you adjust the parameters of the axes, lower the maximum rotation, from 100 to 50. Now, any car that has a 540 steering wheel, will have a maximum rotation of 270. And the interesting thing is that the virtual steering wheel will still be synchronized with yours! Very comfortable to play with the McLaren or formula steering wheel. Older cars will have more steering degrees, but as already explained you will never use them during special stages. You will drive all cars with roughly the same sensitivity. Probably the RallyKart will be a little too direct.
Feel free to try my settings which I posted a couple of posts earlier for the CSL DD, which for all intents and purposes is identical to the GT DD Pro. They should make for a decent starting point, at least in my opinion.
The first is that the simulation was born for gravel. You will never find a decent feeling on asphalt. There are no forces, it seems to float, it's something you don't notice with a Logitech, where the torque is low, but with a Fanatec it becomes awkward. The only thing you can do is raise the Natural Dumper to get some steering wheel texture, or use the steering wheel friction play options. Lower the height of cars to a minimum and stiffen the car's shock absorbers, springs and suspension.
