performance degradation when using 7950X3D-CPU after applying EA anti-cheat.

First of all, this text is written using translation software


I came back to EAWRC after playing other games for a while and am enjoying the game again.

However, with the introduction of EA Anti-Cheat, WRC.EXE no longer allows the user to “change” which CPU core is used when the PC has more than 8(16 on SMT) CPU cores, such as a 16(32 on SMT)-core CPU.


My configuration is 7950X3D+4090 running the game.

Previously, after EAWRC was launched by an external application, the game was automatically assigned to “CCD0” where the “X3D” cache resides.

The performance was about 200-230 fps in UWQHD with the settings turned down.
With the advent of EA Anti-Cheat, it is no longer possible to change the CPU cores used, and EAWRC uses only CCD1.
This means that the game starts to run on the CPU: 16-32 core part.

My performance is now only around 80-120fps frames.

If I stop CCD1 = CCD with no cache on the CPU, and start the game in 7800X3D state, I can get the previous performance, of course,
It makes no sense, the EA anti-cheat should allow the user to decide which CPU core to use.

Or patch it to start with CCD0:1-16 cores with cache on the 7950X3D, etc.
These EA anti-cheat specs are really annoying.

I checked the logs and even though you mentioned that the EA anti-cheat does not degrade performance.

Please patch ASAP or modify some of the EA anti-cheat specifications to allow users to specify which CPU cores they can use.
