Codemasters TeamEA SPORTS WRC - Report Corner-Cutting Exploits Here
EA SPORTS WRC is a game where drivers compete against the stopwatch to se the fastest times on every rally stage.
As such, it is important that the stages provide a fair experience for all drivers, particularly those in a competitive environment such as Time Trial, Clubs or esports.
To further ensure the competitive fairness of the game, several corners across the game's 600+km of unique roads feature various elements to limit the possibility of a driver "cutting a corner" to gain an advantage, including:
- Rougher terrain
- Rocks, trees and other obstacles
- Reset zones
- Anti-Cut Blocks, that issue penalties
Although the majority of the game's stages are "cut-free", there may be some specific turns where the optimal racing line is not the intended one.
Our team is hard at work identifying all of these and handling corrections in future patches, though you can help speed up this process by flagging any problematic corners to us for investigation.
If you come across an exploitable corner, make a post in this thread by following these steps:
- Go to Racenet.com, then to Analysis.
- Choose the stage and car class where the exploitable corner was seen.
- Choose the player on the Leaderboard who is showing off the exploit (if you found it, select your leaderboard entry).
- Screenshot the section where the corner-cut has taken place. The stage name and progress bar must both be visible as these help the team identify the corner that needs amending.
- If you have video footage, that can also help, but Racenet data is the best source.
Here is an example of how to report a corner. As you can see it's very simple, just need stage, country and a Racenet screenshot, nothing more.
