V2.1.0 Career - '23 Calendar - Historic FWD Global Tour Round 5 Game Crash

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug With the introduction of Rally Scandia as the final round of the Historic FWD Global Tour in the 2023 Calendar of the Career mode, clicking on "Next Stage" after completing a stage crashes the game
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? -> Enter a Career mode, either mid-career or from the beginning (Must be the 2023 Calendar. IE: Must not have bought the 2024 DLC Expansion, or must already have a Career active after having purchased the DLC expansion --> Skip to Round 5 of Historic FWD Global Tour (Week 46) --> Complete any* stage --> Click on "Next Stage" *Note: It is possible to bypass this bug by clicking on "Quit" to return to the main menu after completing a stage, and then returning to the active Career mode.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game crashes during the loading screen after clicking on "Next Stage". When returning to the Career mode after the game has crashed, you will be forced to do the stage you completed earlier again
What do you expect to see? For the game to load the following stage (EG Stage 1 > Stage 2)

Additional Notes:
- The event contains 3 stages, despite "Event Scale" being set to "Long". Scandia event was added while I was in the middle of a season, so unsure if it's related, but could be a possibility.
 - 26/10/24 In addition, a friend who tested this shortly after I posted this report suggested that the game might be trying to load two stages at once, which may be causing it to crash; it's loading the "Long event duration" of stage 2, as well as the "Short event duration" of stage 2.
- Unaware if this also occurs on other platforms

  • @Irish_Fox74 I have exactly the same problem. I play on steam

    Also crashed between stage 1 to stage 2.
    After opening the game, I was automatically inside stage 2 with my car damage from stage 1.
    Now I cannot ever complete the game. Just crashes on stage 2 end after I say continue

    @GamesterRogue  Good to know it happens on more than one platform.
    Can you remember what you were doing in your Career when the update was released? I'm under the impression this bug occurred because I was in the middle of an event (Perhaps Historic FWD Global Tour), and it glitched the event duration.

    Unfortunately I've restarted my Career, and am unlikely to get this bug again.

  • I did nothing special.
    I believe the event is just bugged

    I saw that it said stage 1 of 9 and then stage 1 of 4 inside, in a race of 3 stages I believe.
    Most likely the event config file is as a bad setting and needs to be fixed.

    Is anyone from the Community or Dev team that could see this? Would be amazing
    Is there a discord channel?
