Rally school. Unexpected car reset on snow stages
That in the title. Platform: Xbox Series S Language: Spanish Location: Argentina Version: 2.3.109.3358 When you play snow stages on the rally school the car automatically resets as if you pressed the digital down button. That happens on several snow stages, in some, like the first one, it happens right after you cross the start line. But this prevents you from completing rally school due to penalties and loss of momentum.361Views3likes5Comments- 6Views0likes0Comments
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 future598Views7likes11CommentsPC shuts off randomly during stage
Hello, I've been playing the game for a while and there is a persistent bug that the game will completely shut off my PC randomly. Sometimes after a few stages, sometimes almost immediately, sometimes on the same spot on a given stage. I have tried some work-arounds but no results. I'm desperate since I really enjoy this game but this one issue absolutely makes it unplayable. It would be nice if I can have some assistance, my specs are well above the recommended and I can run the game on max graphics. The only thing that I haven't tried yet was limiting my PSU usage.21Views0likes0CommentsWon't start the game before last Win11 update.
After the latest Windows 11 update dated September 1st, the game has stopped launching. I've checked the integrity of the files, updated the anticheat and it's still the same. I don't know what else can be done because I've tried absolutely everything, I don't know if we'll continue to have support after closing the studio, but if someone has managed to solve it, it would be great to share.36Views0likes1CommentTried reinstalling today.
After a fresh game install, applied the recommended fixes for VR, set my OpenXR to SteamVR. The game launches, switches the view to cockpit and the application stops responding. I used to be able to play correctly a bit after launch, not anymore. PC Specs: VR : HP Reverb G2, Win11 23h2, i7 13700KF, RTX 3080, 32GB RAM236Views0likes8CommentsVR still does not work with Reverb G2 in new Patch
I expected the latest patch to fix proper OpenXR (without SteamVR) for WMR headsets but it appears to still be broken. This whole game has been a scam that I can't even get a refund for. Bought it for the announced VR support and played on deck to tie me over and now VR doesn't work for months and it doesn't even work on Steam Deck anymore either. can't even get a refund for this unplayable pile of junk.1.3KViews4likes11CommentsWRC Crash

I waited for multiple updates hoping it would solve my issue but it never did. Basically when I launch the game it asks me if I want to start in VR, then the game restarts and proceeds to the menu. But on my headset it's either a black screen on Virtual Desktop or app launching screen on Steam Link. No issues with Dirt Rally 2.0 and other VR titles. Anyone else with the Meta Quest? Can you share your setup and settings?62Views0likes1CommentEA SPORTS™ WRC - Development Update
Dear Rally Community, Every great journey eventually finds its finish line, and today, we announce that we've reached the end of the road working on WRC. After releasing EA SPORTS WRC in 2023, the 2024 season, including the recently released Hard Chargers Content pack, will be our last expansion. For now, we are pausing development plans on future rally titles. Rest assured, EA SPORTS WRC will continue to be available for existing and new players. We hope it remains a source of joy, excitement, and the thrill of rally racing. We've poured our hearts into making it for fans, and we know you'll keep the passion alive. Our WRC partnership was a culmination of sorts for our Codemasters journey with off-road racing, spanning decades through titles like Colin McRae Rally, and DiRT. We've provided a home for every rally enthusiast, striving tirelessly to push the boundaries and deliver the exhilarating thrill of driving on the ragged edge. We’ve brought together incredibly talented racing developers, worked with some of the sport’s icons, and had the opportunity to share our love of rallying. Thank you to all the fans who have and continue to be part of our rally journey.

Since the last DLC Update I can't connect to EA. When I start the game Iit says "Connecting to EA" but nothing happens and the login dialog is not shown. The only thing I can do is to skip the access and play offline. I'm running on PC-Steam. After discussing this issue on the EA WRC official channel it seems that I'm not the only one having this issue. Thank you for your attention.1.2KViews10likes23CommentsVR crashes with Varjo Aero
Ok, looks like no WRC VR soup for me for now. Game crashes with Varjo set to handle OpenXR after the first screen where it's asking if I'd like to play in VR. With SteamVR set to be OpenXR game manages to start, with horrible stutters when turning head, and crashes when I try to start a time trial. In both cases the crash is silent, with no pop-up window messages, simply goes back to Steam. AMD 5900X, 64G RAM, and a 4090. Both DR and RD2 work fine as they used to; so hopefully it's not a problem with my setup. Update: Managed to get it working in SteamVR OpenXR. Horrible stutters when turning head but otherwise it runs, although doesn't look very good. I think disabling the OpenXR Toolkit globally is what did the trick. It still crashes when Varjo Base is set as the OpenXR runtime which is where I'd like it to actually work, as I'm guessing having SteamVR in the middle is the cause of the very bad stutters when turning head.2.7KViews4likes50CommentsVSYNC 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....445Views2likes10CommentsGame crashes on splash screen, unable to open game for almost a year
Game crashes on splash screen. Worked well before anti-cheat update. What I've done (multiple times): - Reinstalled game - Verified game files - Reinstalled anti-cheat Running Win 11, RTX 3080 and Ryzen 5700X3D. Game is installed on R: disk (nvme drive). Game has been unplayable for long time.284Views2likes5Comments
