Community ManagerHey drivers,

Need some help? Something in the patch not working the way it should? Tell us in this thread!
Pretty huge improvement on PS5 for me. Performance was pretty much perfect on the quick go I had there. Seems like draw distance and foliage density has had a pretty big bump as well?
The audio now comes with very high frequencies, which sound too crisp - for lack of a better word - to me. It's very disturbing to have these like super treble sounds when playing with headphones, and the only profile where it's not hurting is "TV". Also, the co-driver is now very loud, I had to turn him down to 40% just to get some sense of the engine. Does anyone else have any of these issues since the new update? I use a Focusrite Scarlet audio interface.
Everything seems alittle better overall. Although only done first two target events in JWRC. But happy to report H2 FWD Major target is now working.
@ComradeXia Previous to this patch. A large amount of people were reporting that they were struggling to hear Co-Driver even when turning down all the other audio sliders. So this patch has obviously addressed that issue.
As you know all 3rd party audio devices output differs to some degree. The games audio default settings are I suppose a best guess. Sliders allowing players to fine tune to best suit their audio hardware.

Fully agree on PS5! Just tested several hours on Monte-Carlo and Sardenga. It was a very smooth experience and I was able to shave some time of my pb's. It's like the smoother gameplay enables me to focus better on the car behaviour. I also feel the sound is a nice improvement. The extra bass is great. Everything sounds very clear and in good balance to me on default volume settings. I used the tv cinema profile. Maybe a bit less reverb would make the engines sounds less artificial/sterile (it would make it sound less like it was recorded in a studio) during replays while using TV cameras.
Thanks for all these improvements. I'm currently at 240 hours in this game and am eager to put in some more.
Iberia Rally (H2 FWD) maybe Stage 2 (3rd or 4th week in Career, cockpit view), just had my first two (very minor) slowdowns maybe around 3/4 of the stage where there was some crowd.
Just thought I'd report since patch notes indicated there were some performance fixes (haven't played enough to give a proper bug report).
Forgot to add I experience a bug at Moissière, but it doubtfully could also be interpretated as a feature for realism. I crashed ones between a wooden fence and a 50 rappel sign at the first 4 left in the 2nd village. The screen kept on shaking after the crash. After resetting and and restarting the grip was gone in that specific turn. Also the car sounded like being flushed with gravel every time I drove through that turn. I had to close the time trail event to main menu. After reloading everything was performing as usual again.
