I don't think shader precompilation is actually working as intended on the Steam version of WRC. There's no precomp step when launching the game on fresh install of graphics card drivers, and shader compilation stutters still happen with no change in behavior to how it was before the last update.
Same on the EA launcher.
I believe you're right!
My experience:
During the first drive with the patch, I got such massive stuttering that driving was hardly possible.
I then went to AMD Adrenalin Panel and performed shader cache reset.
The stuttering became like 70% better, but still it is worse than before the patch!
Indeed it seems that the shaders are not precompiling.
Also, my FPS went from 100+ before the patch, to 72 average with the patch.
What's even worse than that, the latency increased from 7ms to 17 ms - feeling the input lag on my wheel.
EA, Codemasters - something is wrong this patch
