FINALLY! I fixed my stutter problem!

 

TLDR:

On stage begins, goto settings, turn off vsync, hit escape, then turn vsync on. Voila!

Unfortunately, you have to do this at the beginning of each stage.

 

Details:

My PC: i5-12400f, RTX-4060Ti, 32GB-RAM, 1080p@60Hz, NVMe M.2 SSD, Nvidia driver 537.58, Win 10, PDP controller.

I've been having micro stutter & fps drop problems since I pre-ordered this game. Thanks to heavy motion sickness and I guess my eyes are too sensitive so I can't play any games with tearing and micro stutter. So v-sync on is a MUST for me.

For months, I spent my time browsing the web for solutions and tinkering with the settings as each patch came out. I couldn't even finish any stage to the end.

I tried all the settings in various combinations that could cause these problems. Fullscreen-borderless, DLSS-TAA, low-ultra reflections, crowds, trees, 3 different driver, etc, etc...

 

Finally I got lucky and found this:

- When stage loads and before co-driver count down, hit escape.

- Go for basic graphics setting.

- Turn off v-sync.

- Hit escape.

- Go for basic graphics setting again.

- Turn on v-sync.

- Finally micro stutters, drops, all unplayable problems are gone!

 

NOTE THAT:

Unfortunately, you have to do this at the beginning of each stage. And I can change any of my settings freely to ultra, DLSS, etc.

  • After the last update, I am having a slight problem... Vsync is intermittent, for it to work well, I have to load a rally, and before exiting, enter the menu, go to graphic settings, deactivate Vsyn, restart after.....then again turn on Vsync... and from there there are no problems.....

    although I have to repeat the same thing every time I do a rally 😞

  • I am sorry to hear that! I don't have any time to try nowadays but always wondering that what will happened after last 1.6.0 update. But no lock for us I guess...

  • You should make a bug report if you wish. Also reddit have a lot of wrc players. maybe there is someone who have same problem.

    TL;DR:

    In v1.6.0; when the stage begins, goto settings, just enter "basic graphics" then exit the menu. Voila!

    Unfortunately, you have to do this at the beginning of each stage.

    Details:

    EA WRC: v1.5.0 Steam version.

    My PC: i5-12400f, RTX-4060Ti, 32GB-RAM, 1080p@60Hz, NVMe M.2 SSD, Nvidia driver 537.58, Win 10, PDP controller.

    AFTER v1.6.0, my micro stutter problem fixed by doing this:

    • When stage loads and before co-driver count down, hit escape.

    • Enter basic graphics setting.

    • Hit escape, exit menu.

    • Finally micro stutters are gone!

    What Changed After Episode 1:

    In episode 1 which takes in EA WRC v1.5.0, I must turn off then turn on v-sync for problem to fix but now it turns to only enter menu-exit menu trick.

    Previously on Reddit's "FINALLY! I fixed my stutter problem!":

    In episode 1, I pre-ordered EA WRC and after several months (v1.5.0), I luckily fixed my micro stutter (high fps but micro stutter) problem by a simple but weird trick. So finally I can run the game smoothly.
