Community Manager- Restarting a Moment after completion still kicks you off the servers. Been an issue for a while now and still hasn't been fixed.
- Snow effects are still broken in multiple ways. After fixing the golf ball sized fireworks glow on the flakes in this patch, now the falling snow at night is black when not directly illuminated (which looks crazy from chase cams), and still most of the heavy snow vanishes from existence and turns into light flurries when moving, and more than that, the snow still has no impact on the windshield - which has been an issue since launch. A whole year with no improvement for weather conditions that can now be used in more locations thanks to the winter seasonal aspect.
Rain effects still have numerous issues as well.
All the weather needs to be ripped out of the game as all it does is break immersion and detract from the experience rather than add to it. The 9 year old Dirt Rally has weather effects that look and behave far more naturally, as do any of the dozens of other racing games out there released in that time until today.
Do it right or don't do it at all. A whole year of minor tweaks and adjustments and nothing is in a good spot when it comes to active weather. Remove it and rebuild it from scratch and stick to basic wet/dry surfaces like Time Trials until it can function properly.
- Headlights at night still turn road surfaces that look like old school tv static in motion. The mip mapping on the roads still seems completely broken, and the roughness/normal/bump maps are still too strong and likely creating these insane artifacts at night. The only workaround are still to disable AF completely or drive at night with the headlights off and the brightness turned up, both horrible solutions to a problem that should not exist, and has only ever existed in EA WRC and now EA WRC 24.
- Interior Windshield Reflections are still terribly broken in all sorts of cars and lighting conditions. Either fix this for real or let us fully disable these impossible reflections already. All these immersion destroyers need to go away, and it would take far too much testing and take way too long to fix these in every single problem car in every single problem lighting condition one by one.
