Surprised that I could not see a thread about this considering how may sim racers are on here but that said 3 letter searches are a little iffy so maybe I just missed it

"From the makers of Dirt Rally" front an centre, this is basically a codemaster game now that EA bought them up.
There was also a Twitch announcement stream which made the game sounded very promising, However its now EA game so time will tell, please no micro hell.
As I have game pass ultimate i will get a 5hr trial before i buy, but looking forward to a good new rally game as WRC generations was disappointing.

That reads as 5 hrs to me,

No worries at all.

I looks like it should be a good game with all the previous pedigree behind it. For sub £30 (I had some cdkeys "koins" on my account) I am happy r go with it.

New wheel stand on the way too in preparation :)

Yeah im currently looking at a Full rig to upgrade my bodged together, GT OMEGA wheel stand, extension, seat, DIY Leftover 8020 setup with something more professional looking. Fortunately they are out of stock of 2 parts and that stopped me dropping the hammer on it. I should really wait till there's a sale on.

Its getting to the point where the things i plug into my PC cost as much as my PC and that feels just wrong.

Out of interest are you able to download the game? there seems to be an issue with codes from 3rd party sites not getting the early access and preorder bonuses looking on EA answers who are being very unhelpful to people who bought it on 3rd party sites (understandably).

I dont care about skins and outfits, I am kinda annoyed i cant play (or even preload) till later
 
phatboy said:
Not 100% sure. With mine being activated against my account already I thought would have been. Ok. But will have a nose now :).....please hold

Edit....mine says I can preload on 31st October at 4am. Assuming that is early?

Thats the day the early access starts but i have a feeling the Key CDkeys have sold us has no early access cause you should be able to preload now.

Not the end of the world but a little annoying and first time I've ever had any issue with something from CDkeys since buying Diablo 3 ROS from them and them making me wait for the Key till 6 hours after launch.
 
Just downloaded it haven't played yet, weirdly it now says I'm on the 5 hour trial and offers to sell me the game again, I have a feeling me and CDKeys are having a chat later. but I've got work today and a hospital trip.

CDKeys folk who are seeing that it is in "trial mode"

Guy on EA forums has been in touch with them and been given response that "the code will work from the 3rd....., that is what our site gives as release date"

I mean that seems utterly bizarre and I can only think that EA have some kind of lock down for keys provided from 3rd part sources that arent steam? I struggle to see how a valid key can not give you a game on its own

Plot thickens I guess!

yeah my 5 hrs just ran out, been enjoying it so far and no issues apart from getting my wheel set up right.
That said i consider using a 4090 pretty much cheating for performance and if anything wasnt running perfectly id be very annoyed.

CDKeys said nothing about the 3rd to me, just had me send them screenshots of the game only showing as a trail, earlier and no further replies tonight. that said they are based in the ME so have probably gone to bed.

If it comes on fine on the 3rd so be it, if not i want my money back and I will claim for it if i have to but this is the first issue ive had with CDkeys in years of using them
 
Finally got a response form CDkeys, they say it should be fine as of tonight once the full launch goes through, if not then they will issue me a refund.

EA forums are full of people blaming EA for this, not sure how that works in some peoples brains, I bought it from CDkeys my issue is with CDkeys, surely that's not that hard.
