Unfortunately, all the tickets I've opened so far have been unsuccessful, or have been limited to ‘known problem, won't be fixed’.
According to a Codemasters agent, the game supported at the moment is EA WRC and there will be no investigations into legacy games. (considering DR2.0 to be old)
In any case, they blame Microsoft for the problem and advise people to use Steam instead.
For their part, MS don't seem to be able to do much about it and aren't particularly counting on it, despite several reminders: it's refund and basta.
I sincerely believe that this will never be corrected.
This whole thing is so frustrating! We can’t fully use what we paid for and somehow they get away with it. And They are still selling it, It’s literally a scam at this point
I left a one star review on the xbox store page of the standard game explaining the issue. (Can’t post it on the GOTY edition since I don’t have it)

And EA saying « try buying the steam version instead » is the worst solution I’ve ever heard 😅. Toyota doesn’t tell me to buy another model when there is something wrong with my car, they actually try to fix it.
Ho and treating a 5 yo game like a 20yo game just shows how the industry works nowadays.
Alright, i’ll stop!

I have the same problem with GOTY on Xbox. 100% of the game achievements now unobtainable due to this, cause Kit Car achievements can't be unlocked. Funny thing that if you try to join online race then you'll see icon badge with D4+ and in My Team mode it shows default badge. Definitely problem on EA end like it was with Autolog in NFS The Run. Maybe certificates ended and that is why server can't recognize that all content is unlocked?
*tried everything, reset all, reset racenet, make new racenet account, check if Xbox linked, reinstall it multiple times.

Having the exact same issue. I have also tried everything. Someone suggested installing all the DLC individually which I started doing and it didn't work so I didn't bother installing the last 40 packs individually as it's a waste of time. I also think it has to do with the certificates. Opened multiple tickets and still haven't gotten a response back. I think if enough of us message the higher ups at codemasters we have a better chance at getting this resolved, only community manager I'm aware of is @PJTierneyCM who I've already messaged. I still have a small amount of hope for this to get fixed before the game is inevitably de listed from the store lol
- Shaadum592 years agoRising Scout@TrandoshanBossk let's keep submitting tickets, probably the problem comes from the EA/Cody/Racenet servers.
This DLC problem has existed on the PC version since the dawn of time, but unfortunately it's also affecting the console version. What a shame, when the GOTY version is on ultimate discount at less than 10 euros...
They really need to get their noses back in the game and fix it once and for all, before taking it out of the store or whatever. Despite the release of EA WRC, * this game is from 2019, it shouldn't be released like this! - 2 years ago
@Shaadum59 oh absolutely let’s see if we can get the community together and get this on their radar for them to fix it once and for all. I’ll just keep opening tickets, I’ve tagged the community managers on Reddit as well

Got a response from PJ Tierney on Reddit saying it's at least been passed on to them team, but no response from them as of yet. @EA_Groguet can you pass this along as well?

Hey there,
Definitely this has been passed and it is currently being investigated and checked. As soon as I have more info I will update you in this thread.

At least we are getting somewhere, EA support have been useless, responded with contact PSN even though I said it's Xbox then reply with we understand you want to deactivate your account. Not impressed with the quality of service I received
- 2 years ago
I haven't had too much success with the EA Support email tickets either, lots of back and forth so far without a resolution. At least Codemasters knows about the issue now though and bare minimum we should have a response and some sort of work around relatively soon I hope. I think as long as we keep updating this thread and making it heard it'll work out in the end

Here's the clear answer I got from EA (ticket from about two weeks ago) : (screen joined)
- 2 years ago
That's so frustrating, basically just a middle finger to anyone who bought the game instead of trying to fix it. I'll post here if I get the same "resolution" from them. My PC can barely run Windows XP pinball so buying this on steam is impossible lol I still believe this is on codemasters end with how racenet recognizes the DLC. Idk maybe I have too much false hope
- 2 years ago@TrandoshanBossk Exactly. I don’t have a gaming pc either, that’s why I have a Xbox. I still can’t believe they responded that. That’s not a solution EA, your game should work on every platform.

Yea and because of how old the game is Ms won't give a refund, might be time for someone to take responsibility and fix the bug
- SargeCassidy2 years agoSeasoned Traveler@EA_Groguet From what PJ Tierney said, this might be the same issue that's been plaguing the Windows Microsoft Store release of the game for a few years already. If it is, then a fix would be on Microsoft's side, because the Windows version was confirmed to be a missing/broken entitlement check.

I saw that too. I didn't want to bring any updates as my information is not 100% sure, but it looks like it might have been an issue with the store. The team keeps checking on that and as soon as I know something else I will let you know.

Thank you for your follow-up.
Now that the problem seems to have spread to the console version, is there any chance that a resolution will be proposed for both versions (Xbox console & Microsoft store PC)? - 2 years ago
Can you by request change value in database and give access to the content for those accounts?
- 2 years ago
Thanks for the response and keeping us updated, I think we're all just anxious to play the content we all payed for. Here's a few other people with the same issue from reddit, just so all the known issue info is in the same place https://www.reddit.com/r/EASPORTSWRC/comments/1ew33y6/dirt_rally_20_goty_dlc_broken/

Any updates before the week ends? Would hate for this thread/issue to get lost in the forums ☹️

Doubt they will fix it tbh

Another week goes by, and I still feel like pissing into a violin.
Information transmitted, nothing new to announce.
Game over until the next wave of disgruntled players, who will probably be swept under the carpet again in time 🤐 - 2 years ago
Classic EA. Never forget them The Run with something similar. A lot of great games were graved.
Still I hope that Codemasters will include into this
- TheBlackReaver2 years agoRising Traveler
I'm just glad action is finally being taken here.
I did say that I'm a firm believer of "Make yourself loud enough and it will get resolved."
Looking forward to the resolution on this, guys 😉
