Re: EA SPORTS™ WRC - Patch 1.4.0 Discussion Thread

At last I found solution!!!

No wheel, no problem!

Step by step:

1. Turn off PS5.

2. Disconnect Thrustmaster T300RS wheel from console.

3. Unmount T300R wheelbase, pedals (in may case Thrustmaster T-LCM) and any other accessories (like handbrake) etc. from rig.

4. Clean carefully (not using any strong alcohol-based liquids) wheel, pedals, hanbrake etc. *

5. Search for boxes (hopefully you can find original boxes for your wheel, pedals, handbrake) etc.

6. Take a time and put all your stuff into original boxes and seal with tape.

7. Open your computer or phone or tablet.

8. Open web browser and got to ebay.

9. Log in (or if you don't have ebay account - create one) and put your T300RS, T-LCM and all other stuff on sell. 

10. Return to your racing rig.

11. Turn on your PS5 console.

12. Make sure your PS5 controller is charged (or make sure your PS5 console is close enough to your rig, so that you can play with wire controller).

13. Select from main menu on top of your PS5 console game called "EA Sports WRC" and voila - youre good to go, problem with T300RS solved! Forget T300RS and play with PS5 controller!!! Works 100%!!!

* 4.5 - after cleaning it is good idea to make lot of pictures (with your phone for example) - you need them later, look at no 9.

Tried that... I can't figure out, how I can fix it. 

The MOST ridiculous thing is, that I think I figured out at last, which button is "Enter" and which button is "Escape" (so to speak). BUT weirdest thing is, that 99,9999% of all my racing games (dozens and dozens) over many-many years, ALL uses default (without any bindings) the same rule - "X" on PS controller means "Enter" and "Circle" means "Escape"... And it's not only racing games - I think 99,99999% of ALL games uses the same default bindings... What about EA WRC?!? Exactly on the contrary!!!!

Even more funny thing is, that theres no way to change bindings in navigating menus! I can see, that in binding menu there is "Red dot" (Menu Navigation Select), but theres no way to bind another button to that!!! 🙂

It is exactly the same, if some day some genius thinks ,that it is very good idea to change traffic lights coloring - for example top is BLUE, middle is WHITE and bottom is YELLOW... Exactly the same!!! 

But WHY?!?!? And I really want to know the name of that genius... 

Seems like whoever made these genius bindings for PS5 / T300RS, he or she NEVER played not a single game on PS...

Hahahaha! So true!

Change of event = settings of the steering wheel overwritten and no longer playable.

Fanatec CSL DD 8NM with BMW 3 GT2 V2, CSL Shifter and Pedals V3 via Base.
Before 1.4 the Equpipent still worked except for the option with the automatic gear change.

Now, after changing to a new location, the steering wheel suddenly has 3000° instead of 900° or 540°. Quit the game, restart it and it is correct again until the next event. It's just annoying during time trials. Career or championship are not playable this way. By the way, WRC has recently overwritten my settings in the Fanatec drivers or those in the Fanalab.
