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?
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 :)
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.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....
Will future WRC games have deformable terrain like Sega Rally?
I enjoyed Sega Rally on Xbox 360 back when it came out, and have been playing Gravel and it reminds me of how Sega Rally had real-time 3d deformable track surfaces. Would you like to see this in other off-road racing games like the next WRC?
Improvement in Dust Density and Effects on Ground Surfaces
I would like to suggest improving the dust density in Rally Kenya and other events where the surface is predominantly gravel. Currently, the dust effect could be denser and more realistic, especially on dry and busy sections. It would also be interesting to implement a dust splash effect when the car passes through holes or soft areas, making the dust cloud rise more naturally and with greater volume. This would not only add more immersion but would also affect visibility in the game, making the experience even more challenging.Integration of the Snorkel into the Kenyan Rally Cars
I'd like to suggest integrating snorkels into cars in the game, especially for events like Rally Kenya, where some vehicles use them in real life. This element is key for dealing with extreme conditions, such as dust and deep water crossings, and would add an extra level of realism to the experience. It would be great to see this implemented, either visually or as an improvement that affects gameplay in certain stages with adverse conditions. Does anyone else support this idea? Regards.
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.WRC EA mistakes & inaccuracies FEEDBACK thread

Add triple monitor support with free Unreal Engine plugin
Please add triple monitor support via this free Unreal Engine plugin https://github.com/fracturedbyte/UE4-MultiViewRendering This is the same plugin that Assetto Corsa Competizione uses for triple monitor support as can be seen by the attached photo. No need to create this functionality from scratch and proven to work in a shipped Unreal Engine 4 game. This plugin should be able to be added to WRC with minimal tweaks. Here is how ACC handles triple monitor support in game. First enable triple screen in video options. Then enter any game mode and once you are in a vehicle pause the game and select view settings> triple & widescreen to setup triple monitor support (screenshot attached).
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.

the co driver voice has diminished
Since the last update, the co driver's voice is very low, it is difficult to hear him, in any game mode, with any car category. I play on PS5. The bug is also present on Playstation ! The voice is at 100%, but difficult to hear. What to do ? Thank you for your help 😉
Keyboard bindings for Xbox please
I would like to bind seat movement to the keyboard as there are not enough wheel buttons available because need bindings for headlights, wipers etc. My USB keyboard works fine with Xbox but in this title I can only use it to name setup saves. Please implement the ability to bind keys to seat movement so I can adjust my cockpit cam properly. Thank youRally 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!Improved car engine sounds
Dear EA Sports WRC team, I would like to congratulate you for the incredible job you have done in recreating the car sounds in the game. The recent addition of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 has been a great success, since its sound is extremely realistic and immersive. Likewise, the sounds of the Rally1 cars faithfully reflect the experience of a modern WRC (although some minor details in the Rally 1 sounds also need to be polished.)😅 That being said, I would like to suggest an improvement to the sounds of two cars in particular: Skoda Fabia RS Rally2: Its sound in the game is quite close to reality, but could still be improved to better capture its essence. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X: In this case, the sound of the engine is nothing like the real thing. This is an iconic car and its signature sound should be reflected more authentically in the game. Both vehicles are iconic in the rally world, but their in-game sounds don't quite capture the essence and aggressiveness of their real engines. It would be amazing if they could tweak and improve their sounds to make them more authentic and exciting, just like they did with the Yaris GR Rally2 and Rally1 cars. Thank you very much for your dedication and for providing us with such an incredible game!
