Reverse Doesn't Work, Resetting Car, Car won't Move Afterwards

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Summarize your bug Reverse does not work in general. Whenever I go into reverse the car will just simply rev but will not go backwards. From there I am left with no other option but to reset the car. When I do this, about 50% of the time, the car will stop accelerating forward. If I restart the rally, it again will stop accelerating forward. The only remedy is to start an entirely new rally and just simply don't crash at all. This is happening on PS5 digital edition, Fanatec CSL DD Gran Turismo base, WRC Fanatec wheel, CSL Elite V2 pedals, Fanatec SQ 1.5 shifter, and Fanatec Clubsport Handbrake setup.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Drive in reverse in the PS5 digital edition.
What happens when the bug occurs? Car won't drive in reverse and then won't drive at all when reset. Simply just revs when gas is pressed.
What do you expect to see? The car move when the gas is pressed.

  • On the series X the H pattern seems not to be working for fanatec ClubSport shifter. Input is not being recognized either in-game or when binding the gears. Manual Sequential is working perfectly. Th wheel display shows the right gear when switching but ingame is not recognized.

    Summarize your bug ClubSport Shifter SQ V 1.5 reverse gear and first gear are both recognized as reverse gear when trying to create a new binding in game. Also second gear is not recognized at all.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try remapping 1st and 2nd gears in the controlls page. 1st gear will be recognized as reverse gear and 2nd gear will not be recognized at all.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Wrong gear detected.
    What do you expect to see? Correct gear detected.

    No additional information.

  • Same here but I only go in reverse. The car only rev but don't move if I accelerate forward

    Set to h-pattern, manual in assists. 
    thsi morning it wasn’t bound at all 

    Fanatec clubsport shifter although worked fine in sequential mode. 
    thsi evening. Neutral is 1st gear. 1st is reverse. 2-5 works sometimes 

  • I had this same issue, but found that a console restart with the shifter in H-Pattern mode fixed it.  Be sure to restart the game also, i.e. force close in case it's in quick-resume.  I get the same behaviour (no H-pattern available if I boot the console with the shifter in seq mode) in the new Forza game also, so not sure it's the WRC game.

    Summarize your bug Shifter default input rewrite error, ffb options placebo?

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Plug in a fanatec club shifter and put in h pattern mode. Go to race, 1st gear mapping swaps to reverse. Have to manually calibrate shifter through fana software to calibrate 1st gear. No other sim game I own does this. Happens upon every wrc game boot. Also ffb options for SC2 pro only sus bumps & torque steer are giving a response. All other options seem disabled. Can you please explain? Does this have something to do with the fabled 'telemetry' we are all waiting for?
    What happens when the bug occurs? Things don't work like they should...
    What do you expect to see? Ch ch ch ch ch ch changes!

    Please legends provide an accurate date for vr implementation if it is still happening. Any positive verification from E.A. would be GREATLY appreciated. 🙂
