Cannot connect to EA
Since the last DLC Update I can't connect to EA. When I start the game Iit says "Connecting to EA" but nothing happens and the login dialog is not shown. The only thing I can do is to skip the access and play offline. I'm running on PC-Steam. After discussing this issue on the EA WRC official channel it seems that I'm not the only one having this issue. Thank you for your attention.
The game crashes on startup. But it got worse.
I made a post about it here and found a fix for it too, - but as of writing this post, the game crashes with the "fix" too. To recap my last post about this: The EA Sports intro play, the seizure warning comes up, screen goes black and with that swift move, back to the desktop without any error message. The Temporary fix was: In steam I wrote in the launch options "-dx11", forcing the game to launch in directx11. This meant that the game/my gpu has an issue with launching in directx12, for whatever reason (let it be my gpu driver or a bug in game). My specs for reference: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600g (Integrated gpu is off of course!) GPU: Intel ARC 750 LE (if that matters) (Current driver version .6559) RAM: 2x8GB 3200Mhz The game is installed on Windows 11, on an SSD, in Program files (x86)\Steam\etc.... (My operating system language is hungarian if for whatever reason the game could have a problem with it) Note: Today when I got back from uni I used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) uninstalling my old driver and then installing the new (.6559) one. Last week I also tried wiping my save file testing if that could fix it (I was really desperate, in DX11 most graphical features don't work and the game looks 10x worse.) but that didn't fix it either (and also I didn't test the game afterwards with the fix to see if it still worked). On a Final Note: This very well could be a driver issue on my side, so I'll also make a complaint about this to intel, but regardless please look into it.
Visual bug
Hi, I got wrong colors in some areas which are red instead of black or grey. Everything was fine with my 4090 but after upgrading to a 5090 this visual glitch appeared. Got the newest driver 576.52 and I tested some older one with the same result. Cleared the shader cache and reinstalled the game and also veryfied the game files. The glitch appears in hdr and sdr and I also checked the accessibility options which are all off. Any ideas?
Unable to connect to online profile
Hey guys, I have EA WRC on Steam and about 4 days ago I have been unable to connect to my online account after game launches. See attached screen shot. It just stays on this screen trying to connect. I can hit escape and play the game in offline mode, but I want to be able to post and compare my times as well as participate in leagues and do the "Moments" content. Since this started happening I have spoken with 4 separate EA support staff and gone through the following troubleshooting steps: Restart Router Restart PC Verify Game files Uninstall/Reinstall Game Uninstall/Reinstall/Update/Repair EA Anti-cheat and ensure it's running in background after launching game Flush DNS Manually set DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) Manually disable all non-essential Microsoft apps on startup through task manager and sysconfig Completely uninstalled all 3rd party anti-virus (McAffee) None of these steps have worked. I'm running latest Windows 11 service pack (non-beta). I have nearly 100 hours in this game and have never run into this issue before. I am able to play other titles like Call of Duty BO6 online without issue. I have fiber optic internet (1000 mbps download, 150 upload) and am using a Linksys Velop Mesh wireless system to connect on a 5 ghz channel with no noise from neighbors. I am truly at a loss and don't know what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Rally School Lessons #2, #3 and #4
#2 Snow: 5 second reset penalty right at the start. #3 Snow: 5 second reset penalty in the breaking box which causes you to fail the lesson if you trigger it. #4 Snow: Regularity Rally, 20 second reset penalty in "the twisty bit" for no infringement which can give you too many points and fail the lesson. The "co-driver" also says that there is a speed limit which you can exceed, but there is no indication as to what the speed limit is for all surface types.
Seating position doesn't save anymore
Sometime around the last pack released my game stopped saving my seat position. At the start of every stage I have to do my best to readjust it during the launch countdown. It really kills my flow to have to do this instead of actually thinking about the start of the stage.
Stuck driving in the garage when entering a multiplayer race.
So I've had this weird bug yesterday and today. 9/10 games I join i encounter this bug. See attached screenshots. I get stuck on the start screen, no car is visible. Cant click any of the buttons, and then when the actual race starts, it sends me into the garage where I can drive around and clip through the walls. Making me fall through the map for a good minute before it sends me back to the garage... No menu is accesible so the only fix is Alt-F4. This is extremely frustrating. Please help
