Please bring back Co-Driver mode with Career mode integration
Hello EA & Codemasters team, First of all, thank you for your great work on EA Sports WRC – it's exciting to see a fresh take on the official rally experience. However, one feature that many of us deeply miss from previous WRC titles like WRC Generations is the Co-Driver multiplayer mode. This feature allowed two players to collaborate as driver and co-driver, creating a uniquely immersive rally experience that emphasized teamwork, communication, and precision. It added a whole new level of realism and was especially fun in online play with friends. My suggestion: Please consider bringing back the Co-Driver mode – and this time, take it a step further by integrating it into Career Mode. It would be amazing to progress through a full rally career with a friend as your co-driver, managing events, teams, and challenges together over time. This addition would: Encourage cooperative long-term gameplay Deepen immersion in the WRC world Appeal to both casual and simulation players Offer something no other racing game currently does I believe many players would love to see this functionality return and evolve. Thanks for listening, and keep up the great work!
Language pack
Hi! Im new in this forum, but i would really like to see new Co-Pilot language packs update soon. I would like to see more options in there, like estonian language, because Estonian drivers have been in this sport for so many years and even have held the WRC event many times. In Richard Burns Rally, there is, but i would really like to play EA WRC with estonian co-pilot. What do you think, is it possible?
VSYNC Stuttering issue on Non-VRR displays
What will happen with any non-VRR display: With in-game VSYNC or third-party Normal stage start: Stutters 90% of the time (Seems to be locking the framerate bellow the displays refreshrate) Enter/exit graphics menu before stage: Stutters will stop at first, but might start ramdomly mid stage, which its a even worse situation (Apparently because of assets being loaded mid-stage, but I can't know for sure) W/O VSYNC W/o Framelimiters: Erratic framerate, stutters and constant screen tearing Framelimiters: Stable framerate but also constant screen tearing If its not getting fixed, someone on the team PLEASE, at the very least, let me know of any way I can bypass the problem....
WRC Croatia
Greetings ea sport, maybe it's not my language, but I have a question regarding the Croatian WRC tracks, why do you currently represent that there are currently all the tracks Trakošćan, Hartje and so on, not to mention them. When there is only the 25 km Bliznec track..to make it easier for me to understand what I want to ask you..turn on the Trakošćan track which is also 25 km long, just drive it from the town of Pila towards Zagreb...so in general there is only one Bliznec track..I am currently very disappointed with this situation...everything else is fine but these tracks have killed my imagination. That's why I bought the game to drive on Croatian roads.

Full Moza Ecosystem Compatibility on Xbox
Many months ago, in October I think, there was an update supposed to add Moza compatibility on Xbox. However, only the R3 wheelbase gained an 'official' preset (and one more FFB option, tyre friction I think). All the other wheelbases, such as the R5, R9, R12, R16 and R21 (all fully compatible with Xbox as long as you use an ESX steering wheel) were left out of the update and are read by the game as a generic steering wheel. The same update added all these other wheelbases to PC, but completely ignored Xbox. Also, rally games are known to offer incredible experiences for realistic transmission types, and it is no difference on EA Sports WRC. The auto select manual w/ clutch or sequential option adds much immersion and uniqueness for each rally car, but the supposed 'Moza compatibility update' also completely ignored adding Xbox support for both Moza HGP (H-pattern) and SGP (sequential) shifters. What is more frustrating is that there's a power cycle before game startup glitch that makes both of them workflawlessly, but it has to be done each time before you start the game, which is VERY annoying. So please, EA Sports WRC devs, take a look into this. The Xbox and Moza Rscing playerbase should not be ignored.
the co driver voice has diminished
Since the last update, the co driver's voice is very low, it is difficult to hear him, in any game mode, with any car category. I play on PS5. The bug is also present on Playstation ! The voice is at 100%, but difficult to hear. What to do ? Thank you for your help 😉EA SPORTS™ WRC is now available on EA Play!
EA SPORTS™ WRC is now available on EA Play! To add the game to your PlayStation Library, please visit the PlayStation Store in-console directly, as it is currently not accessible through the PlayStation webstore. The version offered via EA Play does not include DLCs. Visit this link to learn more: https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-wrc/wrc-24/ea-playEA SPORTS™ WRC - Version 2.1.6 Patch Notes
The latest update for EA SPORTS™ WRC is available to download from December 5, 2024. This update focuses on improvements to the onboarding experience for first-time players, and the introduction of a new “Visual Only” damage difficulty. “Visual Only” Damage: We have made a number of changes to various parts of the game for first-time players, such as those arriving from EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The key addition is that of a new Visual Only damage option. This disables mechanical damage across Career, Championship, Clubs, Quick Play Solo and Quick Play Multiplayer. When using Visual Only damage, tyres will not receive punctures (tyre wear remains active) and players won’t receive Terminal Damage from crashes or entering unrecoverable zones on stages. Normal and Hardcore Damage Difficulty remain as-is, with the “Harcore Damage” setting now renamed to “Damage Difficulty” across all game modes. Updated “Play Experience” menu: We’ve also made a few adjustments to the Play Experience menu, which all new players see when joining the game for the first time. In addition to rebalancing the pre-selected Assists for the Experienced option, we’ve made it clearer on-screen what settings are enabled when choosing one of the three options. Players can freely customise their assists and settings once they progress past this screen. Additionally, Experienced players will also be taken to the Rally School before they start their rally journey. “Safety Mark” decals in Livery Editor: In this update we have also added 27 new decals to the Livery Editor. These are all themed around the various safety and regulatory marks that exist on real-world rally cars. Your custom designs will now look more authentic when using these decals, similar to our officially licensed liveries on all cars in the game. Audio Made improvements to audio effects when the player's car collides with bodies of water, and other soft-edge objects (foliage etc.). Livery Editor Added 27 new decals to the Livery Editor. These primarily consist of motorsport safety-themed icons, such as fire extinguisher marks, electricity cut-off indicators, tow hook locations and more. Locations Japan - Lake Mikawa - Fixed an issue in which some textures appeared distorted during location reveal scenes. Pacifico - Talao - Addressed a number of corner-cutting exploits on the "Abai" section of this stage.

Pacifico - Moearaikoer - Addressed a number of corner-cutting exploits. Moments Japanese Airlines - Fixed an issue in which this Moment could not be completed. Options & Settings Added a new Damage Difficulty option: "Visual Only". This setting allows mechanical damage to be disabled across Career, Championship, Clubs, Quick Play Solo and Quick Play Multiplayer. Tyres will not receive punctures while this is enabled (Tyre Wear remains active). Terminal Damage will not occur from crashes or entering unrecoverable zones on stages (these now reset the car to the road). No changes have been made to the Normal and Hardcore Damage Difficulty options. Added Assists, AI and Damage Difficulty notes to Play Experience. Play Experience is the difficulty preset menu presented to new players when they play for the very first time. Adjusted the preset Assists applied when new players select Experienced in the Play Experience menu. Assists can be changed/customised at any time. New players who select Experienced in the Play Experience menu will now be automatically taken to Rally School. This functionality previously existed when new players selected Beginner (and also remains active there). Renamed the "Hardcore Damage" setting to "Damage Difficulty". Quick Play Fixed an issue with Quick Play Multiplayer in which Xbox players could not receive invites from players on other platforms. VR Beta Fixed an issue in which ambient audio was not playing during replays and other scenes.
