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.

@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.Hey there,
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)? - 6 months ago
Can you by request change value in database and give access to the content for those accounts?

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 🤐 - 5 months 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

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 😉

Yes, another week of the same. Still have my fingers crossed but losing hope at the same time. Either way, I guess we can keep this thread updated so it's at least at the top of the forums so anyone thinking about buying the game can be warned that the DLC doesn't work as intended

I personally left 1 star review at Xbox store to beware others. Hope it will help. And will not change while it will not be fixed.
I really can't understand. Why there is no Xbox representative here if it is on their side as it was said before? Why it is So hard to change in database with some papers as fast fix while the normal one will not be ready? Why, at the end, not make all these free until it will be fixed to work as intended (I mean dlc content, not the game itself)? In the end it is 5 year old game, great, without straight successor with this bug. Make it free for god sake
- 5 months ago
I did the same on the xbox store. And yeah the game is 5 years old, but it really baffles me that in this day and age a 5 years old game is treated like an old things not worth fixing. I still can play Colin McRae Rally 2004 as intended and it’s a 20 years old game
- 5 months ago
It is absurd to me that since the game is 5 years old, it's at the "end of it's life cycle" ridiculous because the content is still being sold as usual. If this was Forza Horizon and it had been delisted I totally get it, but to know it's being worked on and will probably be swept under the rug is just discouraging. Hoping we at least get a straight answer from them of what the issue is and some work around or something

Any news?

Haven't seen anything for over a week. Any updates @EA_Groguet ? @EA_Kent
- 5 months ago
I feel, despite myself, that this topic is not going anywhere. It would be decent to post an answer, even if the outcome is certainly on the order of "will not be fixed" This is the subject of the last exchange I had with EA support, I asked for a frank answer, I got one. We go around in circles, but nothing is happening
- 5 months agoI even spent a few days on the official DR2.0 discord, I was treated to general sniggering with an invitation to clear out.
-> known problem impossible to correct
-> no one here (discord) can do anything
-> no one cares (mainly those for whom everything works normally)
Superb experience. - 5 months ago
Man, that sucks, feels like they just pass the issue on to the team, even though they know nothing will change. I had a teacher a while back tell me his secret to life was, when someone asks him to do something, like idk write an email or something he doesn't think important, he just doesn't do it but says he will. Worst advice ver. That's what I feel is happening here. Just wish we'd get some statement at least like "yeah, this is an issue but it won't be fixed because all support has moved to EA WRC" then make the DLC free on xbox or something. It's most frustrating to me that the content just straight up doesn't work, but it is in the game. I've played with all the DLC cars at this point on all the DLC tracks in offline mode. How hard is it to fix a simple content check and put it in career mode?
- 5 months ago
It might be a simple check, but if I've learned anything during my time in the industry, fixing something can break something else.
The content seems to register fine to the game as I can use it in free play. It's just RaceNet where it hasn't done this.
I am hopeful they fix it.
We will keep posting to make this issue active at the top of the forum.
- 5 months ago
Good point, it may be more complex than I'm thinking. I don't know anything about making a video game. But let's all just keep posting on here and tagging the EA official accounts every now and then until we get a response, @EA_Kent @EA_Groguet
- 5 months ago
Any news?
- 5 months ago
Yeah some news would be appreciated. Some of us like to play the career mode in solo and would like to have access to the content they paid for.
@EA_Kent @EA_Groguet - 5 months ago
@PJTierneyCM has just reminded us on Discord that no further work is planned on DR2.0
I think this is a lost cause. The fuss always dies down in the end, the trapped players get their money back and so it goes on! - EA_Groguet5 months agoCommunity Manager
Hey there,
The team is investigating the issue. Can you please confirm me if this has been solved?

- 5 months ago
Unfortunately I've already had it refunded (twice) to check the progress of the bug fix, if there's a third time I'd like to make sure it works for good.
For the PC version of the Microsoft Store, I meanI'm waiting for further feedback and keeping my fingers crossed.
