Fanatec DD not detected
Hi everyone, I'd really like to play WRC with my fanatec DD, however whenever I try and play the game, I can't even get into the menu, it's like my wheel doesn't even exist. Works fine with the controller, then when I look at controls, it never picks up my wheel. I've only been trying off cloud gaming, could that be why?
Soft Lock still does not work with Classic Cars
With classic vehicles in particular, you can still steer at least half a turn further than the virtual counterpart. This is particularly annoying if you have spun around on the track and have to reset the car. Do you still repair the old content? In Monaco, for example, a carpet of grass still grows out of the asphalt, and Sweden still has no snow banks on the old tracks. There are no puddles when it rains, no matter where. Tire management zero. And you still can't switch off the annoying ghost cars globally. Why do you do that? All of this worked before. In DR 1/2 it was dark at night, and the headlights went out during a crash. Apart from the fact that they cast shadows. The current lighting model is simply at least two steps backwards and corresponds to the technology of 15 years ago. Can we expect better ones any time soon or is your Up2Date model just out to provide new ones based on completely old ones for download for a fee?
Etapas más vivas
Creo que estaría bien la inclusión de momentos dinámicos en las etapas,es decir,encontrar pilotos que han volcado,o que van más lentos por un pinchazo…animales en pista que se cruzan como en la realidad,también la inclusión del helicóptero siguiendo al coche…creo que son detalles que marcarían la diferenciaCareer Mode Overhaul
I really like the potential of Career mode. There are some solid ideas that could serve as the foundation of an excellent and endlessly replayable career mode. But the mode is currently bogged down by too many issues and needs to be overhauled, either as an update or for the next game. I want to lay out the issues and potential solutions below. 1. More Stage Variety I was flabbergasted once I started playing quickplay and realized how much of the game I was missing out on because Career mode never presented those stages or conditions. It was so frustrating to ALWAYS end on a night stage as well (which is very unrealistic). More stage variety would go a long way to elevating the mode. 2. Better AI This would help more than Career mode. The AI is both too inconsistent and also not inconsistent enough. They are inconsistent as a group from stage to stage and rally to rally, sometimes not being a challenge at all even when I crash, other times beating me by a wide margin and competing with world record times even though I nailed the stage. But it's always the one guy who's top of the AI, especially in non-WRC events. They never crash out or just have a bad rally. Individuals are FAR too consistent. It's practically impossible to win a championship without coming in first the majority of events AND making podium on all but one or two at most. 3. Tire System Overhaul The tire system in this game is less than barebones. I'd consider it THE biggest pain-point that impacts the entire game and every mode in it, and Career is certainly no exception. Being able to select the tires you bring, per tire degradation and selection, tire rotation between stages, and reusing tires are required for the game and this franchise moving forward. 4. Get rid of the Benefactor System I liked the idea of a benefactor when I first heard of it, but getting hands on with it has been a terrible experience and I can't think of a way to solve the issue in a satisfying way other than getting rid of it. His demands are ridiculous and make career feel so suffocating. Let us be our own benefactors and own cars. Engineers and Teammates should still be salaried (maybe co-driver too), and maybe make us pay to upgrade the Chief Engineer, but I far prefer having to pay for my own repairs and having a sense of ownership over my car collection, plus what is the point to having all of these choices for events throughout career if our choices are practically being dictated to us by a lunatic who NEEDS me to come in first in every event in a championship? Heck even car upkeep can still be a thing (though not as expensive as current) since getting new tires and keeping the car race ready does have a cost. Just have a restriction be the "free" restriction like the Fulvia was in DR2.0 to prevent a fail state, or make regularity rally the event you can still do while "in the red". If you want to motivate people to try new things and get out of their comfort zone a little, have certain events highlighted as having bonus prize money. 5. Change the Schedule between Seasons Having one schedule for a season or three is fine, but playing that same schedule 5 or 8 seasons in is really killing the longevity of career mode. 6. Multiple Careers and Career options I want to make it clear that having a modern career with historical side events should be the focus and the primary mode. But maybe let us start a new career without deleting the old one. I'd like to be able to run both a more forgiving career with shorter events and an ultra-hardcore full length events with no restarts career at the same time. Also, having the option to do a historical career, where you can choose your own restrictions as the tier 3, 2 and 1 options for the WRC events would really make running multiple careers appealing. Speaking of the tier levels... 7. Let Us Select our Tier level per WRC event This ties into multiple points above, but without a benefactor we are free to decide what tier to enter into per event, as opposed to per season. This could allow for situations where we might be struggling financially to keep up with the repairs on our Rally 1 car while performing poorly (and therefor not getting the prize money to keep in the black), so we "demote" ourselves mid-season to Rally 2 in order to stabilize. It might kill our chances at championship prize money but it will stop the bleeding so to speak. Even cooler if we get to choose this for our teammates as well, where one is struggling so the pair gets sent down a level but another gets "called up" to take their place in the car. I'm sure there is more that can be done to improve the mode, but I really do think the foundation of a flexible schedule with potential choices about conflicts is a good basis for a strong and highly replayable career mode. Thank you for reading and your consideration.PS5: Vague center steering with Thrustmaster T300
I'm experiencing an issue with my Thrustmaster T300 GT wheel in EA WRC on PS5. There's a vague area around the center, like the force feedback disappears for a moment, then catches when the wheel is turned just a degree or so. It's particularly noticeable on tarmac, and, obviously, confidence is lost along with time, even causes loss of control, for example in a quick s-turn when the FBB suddenly catches back after the turn. The issue isn't present in Gran Turismo 7 and wasn't there on my old Logitech G923. I've tried adjusting various FFB settings both in-game and in the Thrustmaster control panel unsuccessfully, and the wheel firmware is up-to-date (34). So is the game, updated to the latest patch, and the PS5 operating system as well. Furthermore, since this is only specific to EA WRC, Thrustmaster's tech support's only advice was to contact EA support that this could somehow be software related to EA WRC, the interplay between the FFB commands and the wheel. However, there are no options on any help page to contact them. Any suggestions?

Text in livery creation
Hello! I really enjoy recreating liveries in the game. Such a good feature for rally fans. One thing I am terrible at is creating text... Takes so long and I never hit it right. What I hope you guys do one day: -Abbility to add text; -6 to 10 fonts would be super; -up to 10 charcters should suffice; -treated as a logo for easy mirroring. This would be a super addition for us less skilled livery creators. Love the game! Keep up the amazing work!
VSYNC Stuttering issue on Non-VRR displays
What will happen with any non-VRR display: With in-game VSYNC or third-party Normal stage start: Stutters 90% of the time (Seems to be locking the framerate bellow the displays refreshrate) Enter/exit graphics menu before stage: Stutters will stop at first, but might start ramdomly mid stage, which its a even worse situation (Apparently because of assets being loaded mid-stage, but I can't know for sure) W/O VSYNC W/o Framelimiters: Erratic framerate, stutters and constant screen tearing Framelimiters: Stable framerate but also constant screen tearing If its not getting fixed, someone on the team PLEASE, at the very least, let me know of any way I can bypass the problem....
Rally randomizer for career, quick play, etc.
I created this spreadsheet that randomizes stages, weathers, etc. Hopefully this can be used to create entire championships within the quick play and club modes and even in career mode, because it really sucks to do the same championships with the same stages and conditions over and over again. Hope this helps!
NEEDED features/ Changes for Quality of life 2025
First I will start of with a feature that should be easily implemented number 1 being the most URGENT TIRE WEAR PROGRESSION BAR - This is the most important and urgent issue that needs reworked, and easiest thing to fix as a DEV. Instead of having just 3 bars GREEN, YELLOW, and RED, we need to be able to have a more in-depth system of actual tire heath. you should be able to inspect your tires at the service area to get a more accurate judgement of the wear of the the tire ( tread depth ) this inspection should not take more then 10 seconds and not add to the time limit per each service station. At the very least you could do 2 bars of GREEN, 3 bars of YELLOW and 2 bars of RED. LIVERY EDITOR LIGHTING - For all those Livery creators we know the pain of the colors of the liveries drastically changing once the car leaves the garage. I would LOVE to see the light in the garage rework to more accurately mirror the lighting of a non-cloudy day stage with far less GLARE when looking at the car from certain angles in the editor. API DATA OPTION FOR ONLINE LOBBIES - I would love to see and option to save/upload your own online lobby stage data to racenet for personal review. BUILDER CARS MOVED TO THE FAR RIGHT WHEN CHOOSING A CAR IN ONLINE LOBBIES - nothing is worse then being AFK and missing picking a car and getting stuck with a WRC 1 Rear engine builder car if it by chances to be the last builder car you made.WRC 25 wishlist
Here few things what I wanted to the see in WRC 25 Co-driver nationality: Would be nice, if we were able select co-driver nationality. Now co-driver nationality is same than co-driver language. Classic cars: EA Sports WRC include 19 different car class and 93 cars with many different liveries. Car collection in EA WRC is wide and versatile, we have much legendaries cars in the game, but still some lengendary cars missing in the game. Here is few cars, what we want to see in the game. WRC 1997-2011 Ford Escort WRC Hyundai Accent WRC Mitsubishi Lancer WRC Peugeot 307 WRC Škoda Octavia WRC Suzuki SX4 WRC Toyota Corolla WRC Super 1600 MG ZR S1600 Suzuki Ignis S1600 Suzuki Swift S1600 VW Polo S1600 WRC 2012-2016 Ford Fiesta RS WRC Hyundai NG i20 WRC Group A Mazda 323 4WD /GTX /GT-R Toyota Celica GT-4 (ST165) Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD (ST185) Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST205) Super 2000 Ford Fiesta S2000 Proton Satria Neo S2000 Škoda Fabia S2000 F2 Hyundai Coupé Kit Car Renault Clio Maxi Group B Nissan 240 RS Toyota Celica Twincam Turbo Driver equipments: Possibility to change the color of suits, gloves and helmets, as we can do in F1 games.
SOME THINGS ABOUT THE NEW dlc
Good morning I was able to test the new DLC today. The new stages and all the added cars are spectacular. I love the game and it's amazing. However, I have experienced some problems with the new content pack and since the last update. The AI performance on the UMEA and Harvati stages is not consistent. I play on difficulty level 93. In sweden I am usually very fast but at that level it is very even with the AI. However, in the WRC category with the Hyundai i20 N Rally1 HYBRID I won the new UMEA stage with a gap of 13 seconds without training and after spinning at a junction. In Harvati in the new Rally 3 category, on the same level of difficulty (night, heavy snow) I came last by 45 seconds. I think this should be reviewed. In the main menu, when I want to set a libery, the game crashes for a few seconds and takes a long time to load. In Croatia (Hartje stage, time trial), I beat my record (made with the Fiat 131Abarth) with the new Ford Escort RS 1600 MK1 by 13 seconds. I tried to improve again with the Fiat and was surprised to see the ghost of my record leave me behind on the straights and in the corners. The performance of this new car. I think the performance of this new car should be reviewed. Finally, now I can't load or save set up in the Hyundai i20 N RALLY1 HYBRID (2024). I can't do it neither in created events nor in time trials. Has anyone had this happen to them? Thanks
Suggestions for future DLCs
1- First of all lets talk about stages, I have seen that in each DLC that they add to the game they make a mix between new cars, liveries and stages. So for future DLCs I want to ask for something that Tarmac rally lovers want and would greatly appreciate. Currently, the Croatian rally only has the sections where it is run on a wide road with good quality asphalt it looks like u are playing rally Japan with another trees and decoration. But in reality in the Croatian rally we have stages of narrow and bumpy roads which makes the rally a great challenge, but at the same time something very fun as we could see in WRC generations. It would be fun if they add stages of that style since the closest thing to that that the game currently has is the central europe rally and 2 stages in the iberia rally, and rally islas canarias on the future will be very similar to iberian rally. 2- Shakedown and super special stages (sss). I would like to have shakedown stages available on the time trial mode. Following this i think that SSS stages they should be in the game already, They are a very recognized part of the rallies and everyone loves them. On the other hand, they would be a great addition to the career mode as they provide realism to the World Rally Championship events. 3- Time Trials. The possibility of choosing season of the year, weather and time of day in time trial mode, currently you can only play time trial races during the day and in dry or wet conditions without the option of playing at night or in rain... It would be an inprovement because now if i want to play a night stage for example i need to create a new tournament only to play one stage. 4- Car suggestions. (Not including toyota cars because of license problems) -Rally GT class : Porsche 997 GT , Alpine A110 RGT and GT+ -Ford fiesta WRC 2011-2014 -Ford fiesta WRC 2016 -Subaru impreza S12 and S14 -Suzuki Swift S1600 -Renault clio Maxi (with Raggnoti livery) -Hyundai accent and Skoda octavia WRC -Mitsubishi lancer evo IV and VIII -Skoda Fabia S2000 And this is all I have for the moment if you have come this far, thank you for taking your time to read everything and I look forward to your feedback, especially from the EA wrc workers :)
