PS5 version has serious performance issues

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug The game is almost unplayable because of performance issues. Rally Sweden is the only one that has only little issues with performance. All the other rallies have lots of frame rate drops, screen tearing and stuttering. Kenya is the worst one. Maybe unreal engine 5 wasn't good choice. I never had any issues with performance in dirt rally 2.0.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You can find the bug by testing the performance by yourself. It's obvious in almost every rallies and every stages.
What happens when the bug occurs? Lots of frame rate drops, screen tearing and stuttering. . Kenya is the worst one. It seems to worsen father you go to the stage. Can it be some graphic memory handling / buffering issue
What do you expect to see? I expect you to release a patch that fixes the performance issues.

This must be general issue on PS5.

  • @neoone1975 I agree that unreal engine probably wasn’t the best choice for this game(although I think it’s UE4 rather than UE5). Dirt Rally 2.0 looks far better running on a PS5 than WRC does. I don’t understand why they didn’t use the same engine. This game doesn’t run well at all, and even when it’s running okay, it looks really bad. Everything is far too bright and just has a kind of fuzziness to it all. Such a disappointment.
  • I am facing this issue on the PS5 as well. Dirt Rally 2.0 is the best. EA WRC should fix this lag issue. Make it 1080p but this lag is so poor that sometimes you lose a lot of seconds. No point in driving like this.
