Not connecting to server

[agamer1]

Anyone else having the issue of not being able to even start career mode due to the servers not working?

You're not alone, I did two of the first career races. Couldn't repair my vehicle because it couldn't connect to servers (which was genuinely unbelievable to me), and then couldn't continue on with the championship.

 

I've now lost the progress of those first two races.

 

I've had this problem since yesterday, and it seems all Codemasters games have severe server issues. It's infuriating for someone who has no interest in the online components, I just want to do the career mode.

At least you got that far, I still can't even begin career mode, and with a good chunk of trophies locked behind it, it's pretty annoying we can't even access it

Same problem for me. No chance to start the career mode.

Same for me. I think it's too many people trying to connect at the same time. I have no problems connecting really early in the morning.

this would be my guess as well.  Sometimes servers for games that get offered on psplus get overwhelmed at the beginning, happened for Monster Energy Supercross.

Same here

if anyone else is curious about the scope of the online trophies (and why the scope is so big), here's a reddit post about it

TL;DR  career mode is online-only in DR2 to combat cheaters getting illegitimate scores (DR1 career was offline)
