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....
Solve Stuttering Permanently Method ilborga70 Not a placebo! Hard-Coded!
✔️ EA SPORTS WRC ⚙️ Solve Stuttering Permanently 🔥 Method ilborga70 ✔️ Not a placebo! 🔧Hard-Coded! Solve the Problem of Stuttering Permanently The GameUserSettings.ini file can be found at: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\WRC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini Open GameUserSettings.ini and edit the following lines of code: [/Script/WRC.WRCGameUserSettings] FrameRateLimit=60.000000 Save the GameUserSettings.ini file. It's very important to set the read-only attribute to the GameUserSettings.ini file! Why do I need to set the read-only attribute to the GameUserSettings.ini file? Because EA SPORTS WRC sets your monitor's current refresh rate but does not handle it properly. Also, not having a function to properly limit and synchronize refresh rate and FPS causes these stuttering problems. Sync and Refresh (Nvidia Profile Inspector) Frame Rate Limiter V3: 60 FPS GSYNC - Application: Force Off Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames: 1 Preferred Refresh Rate: Highest available Triple Buffering: On Ultra Low Latency - CPL State: Ultra Ultra Low Latency - Enabled: On Vertical Sync: Force On Power Management - Mode: Maximum performance Threaded Optimization: On EA SPORTS WRC in a Different Language Use regedit (press the Windows key and type "reg" in the Windows menu, then start the registry editor). Navigate to the registry editor to the values of the two keys: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Codemasters\EA SPORTS WRC Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Codemasters\EA SPORTS WRC Change the value of local to en_US for English. After that, go to the EA app for the game, click on "Manage," and then on "Repair." Extra Performance Settings Change advanced power settings. Expand "USB settings" and then "USB selective suspend setting." Select "Disabled" from the drop-down menu.Want to play on Steam Deck
Greetings EA WRC, Since you are apparently ending any more development of this game ☹️, could you please remove the stupid anti-cheat code you put in recently that made it impossible to play this great game on my Steam Deck. Thanks so much, and I look forward to playing this on my deck soon! Best Regards, Gary Talpers
Linux full support or reenable Linux with Proton
I just want to play the game on my Linux system (Steam Deck and Linux box). Please, add an option to launch the game without anti-cheat. I don't mind if my score is not being updated on the servers. I can even play offline if needed. Proton is already enabling the game to run on Linux without extra work from EA, but the anti-cheat removed this option from us.
Esports Plans? Bug Report Permission? WRC Ending?
Hello EA SPORTS WRC Team and Community, I would like to share some thoughts, feedback, and questions — some about WRC, and one about F1 Esports. Please read carefully. 1. Will There Be Any Esports in EA SPORTS WRC? I bought this game hoping to compete in an esports challenge because I feel much more confident in this game compared to the F1 series. However, nothing official was ever announced. Can someone confirm whether an esports tournament was ever planned or if it was canceled because of unresolved corner-cutting exploits and anti-cheat issues? It would be great to know whether there’s still hope or not. Please let us know if the idea was scrapped or is still in progress. 2. May I Submit a Bug Report in Video Format for Time Trial Mode? I found a bug in Time Trial which I explained long ago in a written forum post, but it seems it wasn’t understood. I believe it needs to be shown via a gameplay recording. Can I upload or link a video here in the forum to make sure the devs can finally understand what’s happening? Or would that be pointless now, since you announced that development is ending — though you didn’t mention exactly when it stops, so maybe there’s still time to fix a few things? 3. One F1 Esports Question (Sorry if Off-topic): I know this is the WRC forum, but my question is about the qualification process in the F1 Esports Series. The official qualification results only go up to F1 2023: https://f1esports.com/qualification/results/2023 And the latest video guide is from 2022: https://f1esports.com/qualification Yet new drivers appeared in F1 2024 and even F1 2025 seasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One_Esports_Series How did these people qualify in F1 2023 and F1 2024 when there was no visible Esports mode in the game like before, where you had to complete a scenario and appear on the leaderboard? Was the process hidden or done internally? 4. Sad News About WRC Development Ending – Please Reconsider I was disappointed to hear that EA and Codemasters will no longer develop EA SPORTS WRC. Honestly, I think you are making a mistake. Here’s my guess why you stopped: I noticed that in some Time Trial Stages, there are only 6.000 to 15.000 leaderboard entries. Compare that to F1 games Time Trial Tracks, which often have 100.000 to 500.000 entries. So maybe the game didn’t sell well, and you didn’t make enough from DLCs either. But this game had huge potential. It is the most complete rally game I’ve ever seen—so many rally cars, stages, and surfaces. I still don’t have time to try them all. It’s sad that such quality is being dropped while other titles with much less effort continue yearly. That being said, let’s talk honestly about the pricing. The base game launched at 60 euros, even though it was broken at launch—frequent crashes, stuttering, and even an anti-cheat conflict that made it unplayable for 3 months. And on top of that, you added four separate DLCs, each costing 20 to 30 euros. Sorry to say this, but that’s greedy behavior. Asking 60 plus 100 euros for a game that didn’t even work properly at first? That’s unacceptable. You lost player trust because of this — not just because of bugs, but because you treated your audience like walking wallets. 5. Final Words – WRC vs F1 Game Quality WRC is a model for how a serious game should be developed. You kept one platform, added meaningful content, and built a long-term experience. Despite early issues, it evolved into a polished product. This is exactly the kind of long-term, player-focused development that earns trust. By contrast, the F1 series feels stuck in a yearly outdated money-printing cycle — rushed releases, recurring bugs, minimal innovation, and inflated pricing. Many fans accuse the devs of copy-pasting features, and I agree. There’s a clear lack of responsibility for quality, especially when players are asked to pay 60 euros for a product that sometimes doesn’t even function properly at launch. On top of that, just like in WRC, the F1 games also include multiple expensive DLCs, adding even more costs for players. This kind of pricing strategy feels greedy and exploitative, especially when the base experience is already unstable. I strongly believe the F1 series should follow the WRC model: - Stop releasing a new game every year - Keep one base platform and simply update it with new cars, driver lineups, and features - Don’t remake laser-scanned tracks annually — it makes no sense This is the approach that games like WRC and Counter-Strike 2 have taken. They evolve, improve, and actually listen to their communities. That’s why CS2 never releases annually — it doesn't need to. Its value grows over time instead of being reset every year, and that is why it succeeds. WRC was close to achieving that same standard. Please don’t throw away such a solid foundation. I sincerely ask that you reconsider your decision to end development. Thank you for your time. I hope someone from the team reads this and takes it seriously. All the best in the future
Full Moza Ecosystem Compatibility on Xbox
Many months ago, in October I think, there was an update supposed to add Moza compatibility on Xbox. However, only the R3 wheelbase gained an 'official' preset (and one more FFB option, tyre friction I think). All the other wheelbases, such as the R5, R9, R12, R16 and R21 (all fully compatible with Xbox as long as you use an ESX steering wheel) were left out of the update and are read by the game as a generic steering wheel. The same update added all these other wheelbases to PC, but completely ignored Xbox. Also, rally games are known to offer incredible experiences for realistic transmission types, and it is no difference on EA Sports WRC. The auto select manual w/ clutch or sequential option adds much immersion and uniqueness for each rally car, but the supposed 'Moza compatibility update' also completely ignored adding Xbox support for both Moza HGP (H-pattern) and SGP (sequential) shifters. What is more frustrating is that there's a power cycle before game startup glitch that makes both of them workflawlessly, but it has to be done each time before you start the game, which is VERY annoying. So please, EA Sports WRC devs, take a look into this. The Xbox and Moza Rscing playerbase should not be ignored.Is this the end? No more WRC?
https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-wrc/wrc-24/news/wrc-development-update Says WRC development has been paused. Reading between the lines and EA loves to cancel games. Sounds to me as development on any new games has been cancelled. Was my first Rally game and love it. But what is concerning as EA have announced more layoffs across its studios. I'm worried for the guys at codemasters. If F1 flops this year I'm more worried for Codemasters as a studio. Been playing Codemasters games for 30+ years and one of my all time favourite studios. Be gutted if EA closes them down. Just want to thank the team for developing a game that I've had a awesome time playing and will play for hundreds more hours. ❤️
EA Play content released for all
Dear E.A. Seeing as you have discontinued support for this game can you please release the locked-out content for everyone? The EA play content specifically. Just wanted to add that although sales were not as expected, over time this will be rectified as more players come to the party. It really is a shame a game developing company with such a deep history in the industry has been treated like this, Codemasters deserve much better!
Tires problem on Long Events
The last time I wrote about a car repair problem, EA fixed the bug, I hope it will be similar this time 😇 I run a league in CLUB, which consists of several stages during the Rally (sometimes for 30-40 drivers) . Often it is 14-20 stages. We are struggling with the problem of tires, having two sets of tires (soft and medium) for the entire rally. It is impossible to get finish event. I am asking you to really solve this problem, either add more tires, or add them in relation to the number of km per event, or allow the admin to choose the number of available tires. 😇 Fingers crossed🤓
Season Pass Liveries
Gutted about the recent news but as a final request could we please have all the liveries from the seasons unlocked. For the first few seasons I only managed to get to level 13 or 14 and missing some of the nice car designs. If it's too much to just unlock them could they just be added back into the current season so they can be earned ?
EA SPORTS WRC BUG
Hello, EA Sports WRC game won't start after connecting to the server. It takes me back to the EA App without an error message. I have Ryzen 7 5700U, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11. I reinstalled the game, cleared the cache, tested in Safe Mode, updated the drivers. On a new EA account the game starts — so the problem is definitely with my account. Please check your license or any account conflicts.
