Inconsistent AI Times

Hello drivers, We have seen a number reports regarding inconsistent AI performance in EA SPORTS WRC. While the team is currently investigating and working on fixes where possible, we need add...

  • AI Difficulty Setting: 100
  • Stage: All
  • If Career, then which career event it is: All
  • Time of Day: All
  • Weather Condition: All
  • Vehicle Class: All

    Overall it looks like the AI is too fast in the twisty slow sections and too slow in the medium speed / high speed sections.
    I have over 75 hours in the game and a solid 50 of that is in full length career with 100% difficulty. As an experienced driver the AI even on 100% is overall too slow on most of the times bacause they are simply not going fast enough in the medium to high speed sections which is what we see the most in the stages. However they can sometimes be way too fast, and I mean nearly impossible to beat in the very slow sections like we can see at rally Mexico or in the villages of Rally mediterraneo.
    However it is worth noting that despite Rally finland being a mostly high speed rally, the AI has a strong pace in most of the places, like you would expect with 100% difficulty.
    On the other hand at Rally Estonia which is a high speed rally, the AI is too slow, I am winning stages by 15 seconds or more even on 100% difficulty.

@ValentinGoBrrThis seems to be another issue that can also be observed at any time.

The problem that has the most impact is the sudden AI drop in performance. They will get within 5 seconds of your pace and suddenly they are 2 minutes + behind you. It happens at random at any location at any stage.

The issue above have an outstanding impact on overall enjoyment, enough to spoil all the reason to compete in career.

I have also observed the AI being too slow on the fast sections of Estonia and the overall inconsistency of them throughout the different kinds of sections. This, for instance, is not related to the most glaring AI drop off issue, although is desired to be also looked at the high priority for the single player experience.
