Handbrake acts as acceleration

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug I am using a DS4 controller, via bluetooth or via cable I encounter the same problem. After 30-45 minutes of playing, mostly TTs, handbrake which is binded on circle stops doing what it should and instead it revs the engine, if revved enough it’ll go 20 centimeters and stops, all this while being unable to accelerate. Only by restarting the game the problem magically dissapears until next time. I need to mention that I changed some settings to make it like in dr2.0 where you need to manually hold the handbrake (circle) before stage starting. I also mention that I didn’t double bind neither the handbrake neither acceleration.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? What I did to encounter this was switching car classes and locations after each stage. I mostly played the shortest stages via time trial
What happens when the bug occurs? The car can’t be accelerated and the handbrake acts as accelerator pedal, but only partially, for example I keep pressing circle(handbrake), it starts revving, I release the handbrake and it accelerates for like 1 second and stops. When encountering this bug the normal bind for acceleration won’t work as intended (R2)
What do you expect to see? A bug fix, never encountered something like this before

Thanks a lot for listening.

  • I have the same problem. Hopefully gonna be fixed soon. Really annoying.

  • Ok, found out that while you try to alt-tab or press the windows button on the keyboard forces this bug to happen instantly.
