I know about technical issues like stuttering, frame drops and even slight freezes on PC - many factors can be responsible of that on particular PC...But on console?! Has anyone tested it properly? I played almost whole 5h of trial - 2 rallies in J-WRC, couple manufactor's and on EVERY SINGLE stage I feel framerate drops or slight stuttering. Sometimes even freezing. It's unacceptable in this kind of game! Lucky me that it happened only once when it destroyed my stage when I was comming to a corner and I missed proper braking. Fix it, CODE-MASTERS! I'll get box version tomorrow and I don't know if I want to play it for now. I don't want to rely on my luck to not have stuttering and massive framerate drops in crucial moments where I'll be forced to replay whole stage (and even that may not help, I saw that on one of the stages in Sweden there is massive framerate drop in particular moment, after 3 rides).Thought - is it really that hard for a proper QA team in gamedev this days? This is not an RPG, where also many factors in the game could have an impact on technical stuff. But this is almost in every way - fixed and hard-coded game! There is no dynamic NPC's, quests, complex mechanisms that work 'behind the scene'. Really, give me a contract and I will test it for You properly...

this is a shame !!!!!!you take people for idiots you won't get my money !!!!!players stop endorsing !!!!!!WE ARE NOT BETA TESTERS !!!!!!!

And please …don’t ask for proof and share a clip just look the official https://youtu.be/DPE-iTKft8E?si=FjA67cji8yMFYtdU ign test He won’t stop complaining also about poor optimization on console , stuttering , lag etc…The game should never have been released now

New patch 1.4same story very poor optimisation FPS drops stuttering a lot Monte Carlo and Spain are unplayable

On PS5, tearing is massively worse with 1.4. In 1.3, it was occasional, with 1.4 it is in practically every stage. Forced VRR on or off, no diff.

@remjohn EA FC is quite polished game. Playing it also from trial (finished players career (4 seasons) and just finished first season as a manager) and I haven't encountered any major problems, especially from technical in-game side.

Stuttering, framerate drops and even freezing...on XSX!

Why on Earth would they ever pay anyone to play test anything anymore when they can get the public to do it for them at launch and then maybe fix the biggest issues a couple of months later before starting work on next year's mess? See also, FIFA / EA FC etc...
Could be worse, could be Madden - that actually seems to get worse every year for the past 25 years. NFL 2K5 (almost 20 years old!!!) is STILL a better NFL game. Anyway, gone off topic, but you get the point.

Oh my...this is unbelievable!
I'm just after Maririe stage in Mediterraneo rally with Polo GTI. When I got to the village at the end of the stage, the game dropped massively with framerate! I just kept banging around houses because i'ts UN-PLAY-ABLE!! I won't be surprised if it was barely above 30 fps!
I'm thinking about returning that game, when it arrives to me tomorrow. WHO TESTED IT?!

It's really, really, really not. I still have graphical glitches sticking out of my player's limbs. https://youtube.com/shorts/K2ChL_9GTJk?si=dQlaHY6Hv1TPpM0k

Is this bug somehow affects your ability to play? No...it's only a graphical bug. Nothing new and nothing special. WRC is barely playable, at this moment.

But if you start accepting these things they don't go away. They're selling a product. A scratch on a new car doesn't affect your ability to drive it but it's doesn't mean you should accept it from the vendor when you've paid full price.

i have the same problem but I wonder if the problem is not the tv
i have a 50hz tv without vrr
maybe that’s it since some people on Xbox x don’t complain
but actually it’s almost unplayable for us at the moment
