* This guide aims to eliminate stuttering and enhance visual quality in EA SPORTS WRC

* Part 1: (Generated by Gemini AI) Test for RTX 4080
* Okay, let's go over the Engine.ini settings for your RTX 4080 to minimize stuttering in Unreal Engine games.
* Initial Recommended Settings for Your RTX 4080
* Given your powerful RTX 4080, we'll focus on settings that optimize performance without unnecessarily compromising visual quality.
* These are the primary settings I recommend you start with in your Engine.ini file:
* Here are the sections and modifications you can add or update in your Engine.ini file.
* Important:
* Do not touch the [Core.System] section and all its Paths= lines that you already have in your file.
* Leave them exactly as they are.
* These are the modifications you need to copy and paste into your existing Engine.ini.
* If a section like [SystemSettings] already exists, overwrite or add the lines within it.

* Always remember to back up your Engine.ini file before modifying it and to set it to "Read-only" after saving your changes.

* What could be causing that one single stutter?
* Save logic: At the end of the stage, the game needs to save your performance data.
* This is a disk I/O operation that can block the main thread for a very short time, especially on slower disks (though it is less common on SSDs).
* Post-stage UI preparation: Even though the achievement UI is lightweight, the context switch and its initialization can take a while.
* Game/engine issues: Some end-of-level stutters are simply inherent to the way a specific game, or version of Unreal Engine, handles state transitions.
* Unless the developers fix them themselves with patches, they are very difficult to eliminate via external configuration files.

* Part 2: Solve the Stuttering Problem Permanently
* This is the core of the stuttering fix.
* Locate GameUserSettings.ini:
* Navigate to: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\WRC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ (Replace YourUsername with your actual Windows username).
* Open GameUserSettings.ini:
* Open the GameUserSettings.ini file using a text editor (e.g., Notepad).
* Edit the FrameRateLimit line:
* Find the section [/Script/WRC.WRCGameUserSettings]
* Locate the line that starts with FrameRateLimit=
* Change the value to 60.001007 so it looks like this:
* FrameRateLimit=60.001007
* Save the GameUserSettings.ini file.
* Set GameUserSettings.ini to Read-Only (CRITICAL STEP):
* Right-click on the GameUserSettings.ini file.
* Select "Properties".
* In the "General" tab, under "Attributes", check the "Read-only" box.
* Click "Apply" then "OK".

* Why Read-Only?
* This prevents the game from overriding your desired frame rate limit, as the game's internal handling of refresh rates and FPS synchronization can cause stuttering.

* Part 3: Sync and Refresh (NVIDIA Profile Inspector)
* For NVIDIA users, these settings are crucial for consistent performance.
* Download NVIDIA Profile Inspector if you don't have it.
* Open NVIDIA Profile Inspector.
* Select the profile for "EA SPORTS WRC" (or "WRC").
* Adjust the following settings exactly as listed:
* Frame Rate Limiter V3: 60 FPS
* GSYNC - Application Mode: Off
* GSYNC - Application Request State: Force Off
* GSYNC - Application State: Force Off
* GSYNC - Global Feature: Off
* GSYNC - Global Mode: Off
* Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames: 1
* Preferred Refresh Rate: Highest available
* Ultra Low Latency - CPL State: Ultra
* Ultra Low Latency - Enabled: On
* Vertical Sync: Use the 3D application setting
* Power Management - Mode: Maximum performance
* Raytracing - (DXR) Enabled: RT Disable
* Raytracing - (Vulkan RT) Enabled: RT Disable
* Threaded Optimization: On
* Apply Changes in NVIDIA Profile Inspector.

* Part 4: EA SPORTS WRC in a Different Language (Optional)
* Use these steps if you need to change the game's language or are experiencing related issues.
* Open Registry Editor:
* Press the Windows key and type reg in the search bar.
* Select "Registry Editor" from the results.
* Navigate to the game's registry keys:
* Go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Codemasters\EA SPORTS WRC
* Also go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Codemasters\EA SPORTS WRC
* Change the Locale value:
* In both of these locations, find the value named Locale.
* Double-click on Locale and change its value data to en_US for English. (Replace with your desired language code, e.g., it_IT for Italian, fr_FR for French, etc.).
* Repair the game in EA App:
* Open the EA App.
* Go to your EA SPORTS WRC game.
* Click on "Manage" (the three dots icon).
* Select "Repair".

* Part 5: Extra Performance Settings (Windows)
* These are general Windows power settings that can help with performance.
* Open Power Options:
* Press Windows key + R, type powercfg.cpl, and press Enter.
* Alternatively, search for "Edit power plan" in the Windows search bar and then click on "Change advanced power settings."
* Change Advanced Power Settings:
* In the Power Options window, click on "Change advanced power settings".
* Disable USB selective suspend:
* Expand "USB settings".
* Expand "USB selective suspend setting".
* From the drop-down menu, select "Disabled".
* Click "Apply" then "OK".

* Part 6: These are the most powerful and specific optimizations for your GPU.
* Enable only Windows "Game Mode".
* Do not enable optimizations for windowed games in Windows.
* Do not enable hardware acceleration GPU scheduling in Windows.
* Keep the settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel as I configured them (scaling, force GPU, maximum performance preference, override game settings).

* After following all these steps, you should experience a much smoother and more enjoyable EA SPORTS WRC experience without the annoying stuttering.

* Why is this Method "Hard-Coded" and "Not a Placebo"?​
* The strength of this method lies in its "hard-coded" nature.
* Instead of relying on the game's default settings, which are often generic or not optimal for all hardware configurations, you manually force critical parameters.
* Direct Control: By modifying .ini files and driver settings, you gain direct control over how the game handles V-Sync, frame rate limits, and latency.
* Persistence: Setting files to "Read-only" is crucial.
* Without it, the game tends to overwrite your changes upon restart, causing stuttering to reappear.
* Making the files "read-only" ensures your custom configurations are permanent.
* Synergy: The modifications don't act in isolation but in synergy.
* The frame rate limit set in the .ini file is reinforced by the driver, the V-Sync forced by the driver works with the frame limit for cleaner synchronization, and latency settings aim to make the experience more responsive.
* Many users have reported dramatic improvements and a permanent reduction in stuttering after applying these steps, which is why it's a widely validated method in the community and definitely not a placebo effect.
