Community ManagerCommunity ManagerClubs are here!
The much-requested feature has finally made its way to DiRT Rally 2.0 and now you can create your own communities and in-game Championships.
In this set of posts I’ll take you through the setup process step-by-step, so you and your friends can get off-road as quickly as possible.
First up, head to https://dirtrally2.com/clubs.
You may need to sign in with your RaceNet account and connect at least 1 platform account to it; if you’re a regular on the forums it’s the same login.
You’ll then be greeted with the main clubs screen. This is where you create and join clubs, and check up on the ones you’re already in.
Hit [Create Club] and you’ll be asked to add a name and description. You can also choose whether a club is Open (anybody can join), Moderated (people can request to join) or Closed (invite only). You can also choose whether your club is restricted to the platform your RaceNet account is connected to or have it be Cross-Platform.
Community ManagerClubs have 3 tiers of members, Owners, Administrators and Players.
Owners and Administrators can examine any Player in the Members panel and either promote or kick them.
Here you can see that DiRT has promoted me to Administrator, happy days!
Community ManagerThe main reason to join clubs is to take part in Championships. These are managed through the website but appear in-game for you and your friends to drive. Only Rally Championships can be created with clubs, Rallycross Events are not an option. Also, a Club can only have one active Championship running at a time.
When you want to create a Championship you’ll be given the option to generate one. Pick the number of Events (locations) and Stages for each and the website will do the rest.
Once your Events are generated you can customise them how you see fit. You can even run different car Classes in different Events.
Once you’ve got everything set up, hit [Create Championship] and you’re almost ready to go. Pick the start time and Advanced Settings and you’re away!
Community ManagerChampionships will show up on your club’s page, where you can check the current progress and overall Leaderboards. Within the Leaderboards you can also see what platform your players are on, what assists they’re using as well as their peripheral choice.
