How to unlock the Up and up achievement in DiRT 4 - Definitive Guide

The Solution:

You start off in the lowest tier and need 7 points to progress, you earn points but doing well in the races, however your points can go up or down dependant on your finishing position.

Ideally, you want to win a number of events in succession, as even if you place 2nd, you can see your points total go down (as this happened to me a number of times when on 6 points)

Winning is down to your driving ability vs the ability in the rest of the lobby.
The only tip in this instance is to play the game and try and get better, and/or hope for a lobby with some inexperienced players


The Warning:

I had ranked up to tier 6, which is enough to unlock the achievement, however the achievement did not unlock and it glitched on me.

I have a very strong suspicion this is the same type of glitch that occurred on the Dirt Rally online achievements.

I had this a number of times with the Wager achievement and some others while I played Dirt Rally.

Essentially, if you have an ongoing championship in you career (or even online on Dirt Rally), it somehow prevents online achievements from unlocking correctly.

I think this is the case as I had the final Rally championship in career in progress, before switching over to do some online stuff, exactly the same as I had done on Dirt Rally when I had glitching issues.


The Update:

I managed to get this to unlock by doing the following:

I abandoned my in progress career event, I had no other career events in progress.

I started online events in tier 6, I did a few races and deliberately totalled my car and/or retired to make sure I came last, then I did 2 events where I left the session, this gives -7 drop in points, but can also trigger a temporary multiplayer ban

Back in tier 7, I won 3 races in a row and ranked up to tier 6 again, this time it popped, as it should when you get the tier 6 point bar

For extra info:

I have 2 x weekly online events completed but pending the payout (this would have caused glitches in Dirt Rally)

I did not have todays Dirt Daily event or Owners Club event completed

I have not started the Monthly event


Hopefully that's enough info for anyone who has a similar thing happen get it to pop :)

I have a totally different issue. Pro Tour refuses to give me my earned points.

This is me 2nd overall (out of six players) with the post-race results clearly showing me as earning 4 points: playing

This is me returning to the Pro-Tour Screen awaiting my pay-out and receiving fuck-all: playing

(I had to split the DVR as loading took longer than 30 seconds)

I have had a pay-out for wins but still I receive very few points. For 2nd (my average finishing position) I receive 0 points at best and sometimes take a minus regardless of the amount of players.

After speaking with other players and hearing about the points they receive for their finishing positions it seems that there is something very different / wrong with my game.

I have now completed 30 events (60 stages) and this pattern has been consistent for me from day one. angry

I'm having the same problem as Yoshi. I sit in matchmaking for a half hour every day and have only gotten enough people to race twice so far.

Thanks a lot for this. I got myself up to Tier 5 actually and was quite annoyed that it still didn't want to pop at the second promotion. But of course I had a Single Player CS pending at the same time which I didn't even consider would void this achievement...

@ RSG Montoya

There has not be a Daily Delta event yet which is why no-one has that achievement.

They were quite rare when I was playing Dirt Rally, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure you follow the same principles when one does come up.

If I remember rightly, it will specifically say "Delta" and they only have 2 tiers to place in, the idea being you need to be above the average or "delta" of all times

Totally sympathise with B0BCAT here, I'm sure there's something not right with the awarded points. Finished 2nd in a Tour last night and received zero points (there were four players). Then I somehow managed to come 1st in the next Tour, again with four players, and received 3 points (happy happy joy joy). At the end of the next Tour the game froze at the marshal's tent. Restarted the game only to be told that I'd been penalised for quitting. Might be best to leave this for a boost session when the online dies it's inevitable death.

Also meant to mention that I found I did much better when I was able to use an owned vehicle, that was fully upgraded to all 'A' grade parts, rather than the default vehicles allocated to each Pro Tour event. Tweaking the final ratio in the gearbox for slightly better acceleration helped too (be sure to apply the changes before leaving the workshop). If you have the cash, check the event first and see whether you can purchase a relevant vehicle as well as upgrade it.

I finally managed to get this tonight, the points were sketchy again to start with (kit cars) but then they seemed to behave as expected over a period of races (first time this has happened for me). 4 events: 1st (+2), 2nd (+1), 2nd (+1) and 1st (+4) for a total of +8

Got it after gaining more points than needed, thanks to Damage Knight.
Luckily I got it within going for the Sweaty achievement for doing 25 Pro Tour events overall, which I should get after this event which I've terminal damaged as I type this :D

I've levelled up to Tier 6 about 4 times now and I'm really beginning to grow tired of this game.
The achievement doesn't unlock for levelling in Pro Tour. The whole point system is just broken. I just literally received negative points for finishing first in a session, second place finishes mostly give me no points at all and finishing with zero points gets me about -1 or -3.
Come on Codemasters, where is the patch already?

This achievement glitched on me once before, and just now I thought it glitched on me again. I was getting really angry. I quit out of multiplayer to be sure I had no ongoing championships in career mode (which I didn't have). I went back to Pro Tour and selected Next Event thinking perhaps I had to complete one race at the new tier, but shortly after selecting Next Event, the achievement popped, and I did not have to do another race. What a relief. It has taken me a long time to get this achievement because it is so difficult to even find three other players to start a race. Countless hours wasted just sitting at the matchmaking screen.

No worries, that's what TA is for, I'm always happy to help others when it comes to writing solutions on frustrating things like this, just part of contributing to the TA community :)

I wasn't expecting a comment on my solution quite so soon after updating it, so glad it wasn't just me :)

If you can verify it works for you as well that would be great.

Pretty certain I saw your tag in some of the games today :)

I hear ya erod550, the sweet spot I found on weekdays in the UK was between 19:00 - 21:00 BST (British Summer Time). It slows down (but still possible) between 21:00 - 23:00 but is dead any later than that.

A friend of mine (also in the UK) found it pretty well populated in the afternoon on weekends.

@ adiash73
i finally got this trophy unlocked on my ps4 on the third attempt after promoted and reletaged twice between tier 7 and 6. And i hope i have figured out what was wrong with this achievement/trophy

1. this glitch occurs on all platforms, including steam, xbox, ps4 (from official forum)
2. the developers have been informed about this glitch on the official forum, their suggestion is ' if u can manage to get more points than required to get promoted then it should be fine'
3. the real issue might be (i am quite certain but not 100% sure) YOU HAVE TO GET MORE POINTS THAN REQUIRED ON YOUR LAST RACE BEFORE THE PROMOTION
4 example. say u r on tier 7 and have 5 points, then in the next race yo u have to get more than 2 points and get your promotion to tier 6. yes you have to go beyond the limit....
if you get exactly 2points on that last race, you will get promoted to tier 6 but the achievement might not pop. i got exact 7 points on my first and second attempt so i guess this is why the trophy did not pop for me. on my third attempt i got 5+ 4 points and the trophy poped right after the race.
5. so it might need a bit calculation about the points you earn, and sadly, 1-point races will simply not suffice.

so my suggestion is
1 wait for the patch
2 or if you really nedd this achievement, calculate the points before you enter the race.
3 if you are a 1-point-racer (like me) or even minus-point racer, you can change to gamer style with
ABS-5
off-throttle brake -off
stability control - 5
traction control - off
this might give you enough grip to handle the race

hope you guys can unlock it asap, lol

First time playing this online today and not sure how this points system is supposed to work. I've only done 2 races, coming in first both times and for the first race I got 4 points and the 2nd I only got one.

By Haugse 0ne on 13 Oct 2018 20:12
Well it just popped for me. Like I said, the points are very weird. So first race I got 4 points and my 2nd race I got 1. Raced a couple more races getting one each so I ended up with 6 before getting disconnected before a race and losing all points again. I was gonna give up but decided to play again. Got into a few more races, the first giving me 3 points, the 2nd giving me 1 and the 3rd giving me 3, giving me a total of 7 and reaching the promotion. Seems very odd how they give you points and I thought it may have been based on the amount of racers there are but it's not at all.

This one really isn't too hard. The difficult thing is to find people online. When you do, you need to place in a position where you earn points towards a promotion. The ranking system in this game is pretty odd in that sometimes you can come in first and not get any points and other times you can come in 3rd and get 1 or 2 points. You just need to do well enough in your races for you to reach your first promotion which requires 7 points.

(Glitched)

We (as a community) think the glitch occurs when you land on the number of points needed to rank up instead of gaining more points to rank up. I.e. if you need +2 points to rank up and you gain +2 points to rank up, this will glitch the trophy. You need +3 points to rank up if you catch my drift. Thanks to JFrench55 for initially finding this out and others confirming it.

To fix this simple glitch, either rank up again, but gain more points instead of the number of points you need to rank up or get yourself to the bottom tier and try again.

To rank up a tier, you need to be an average or decent racer as you are going up against other players on or above the same level as you in terms of skill. You gain points by winning or coming at a decent place at the end of the stage or race. Each tier has different points needing to rank up.

We go to the pro tour and start racing with people. For high places you are given points, for low places they are taken away. To move to the next tier you need to score 7 points

Perhaps the trophy is bugged, it only became clear to me when I got promoted for the second time.

Combine with the " Sweaty " trophy.
It's best to boost, since there aren't many people playing right now.
Methodology:
1. For boost you need at least 4 people.
2. In the settings, set the driving mode to “Simulation” (this will reduce the likelihood of encountering random people).
3. The search works through one place, so be prepared to spend a lot of time on it, even if you are all looking for the game at the same time.
4. When the race begins, three people immediately press Retire after the countdown, the fourth drives a little forward and presses Retire as the last one.
5. You need 3 events, since 1st place gives 3 points (for a trophy you need 7). This way, all four will be able to get the trophy in 12 events (you still need to get 25 for Sweaty).

And yes, the tips below say that in order for the event to count, you need to drive a little and gain experience. This is not true, even if you go out right at the start and receive nothing, the events still count for Sweaty.
