Aiming to fix further performance issues and bugs within the game, Codemasters will release the latest update to EA Sports WRC, with version 1.3.0 on November 16. Here is all you need to know.

Ever since the title’s release, EA Sports WRC has seen mixed reviews, mostly due to its stability. Whilst some players see more than adequate performance from the game, others struggle to play.

As a result, a steady stream of updates has followed the launch on 3 November. The latest update to EA Sports WRC brings it to version 1.3.0, a rather odd name considering the previous version’s 1.3 numbering. Available to download on 16 November at midday CET, many will hope it addresses the plethora of problems the game faces.

Performance and Bug Fixes​

Much like the previous update, the newest version of the game focuses on performance issues encountered due to the Unreal Engine’s quirks. Further work goes into the shader compilation algorithm that Codemasters and EA are seemingly still getting to grips with. In addition, several rally locations will now run at a better pace thanks to improvements. These include Finland, Kenya, Oceania and others.


Elsewhere, a number of crashes are tackled by this next update. Namely, a selection of menu crashes should disappear with v1.3.0. Furthermore, an issue with Fanatec hardware unable to navigate menus also sees a fix with EA Sports WRC version 1.3.0.

Many will cry out about a set of quality of life improvements. In fact, players may now be able to see the road on brighter stages like Scandia, Mexico and Sweden. The auto-exposure settings should now be better for those using interior cameras.


Furthermore, gameplay gets a number of touch ups in EA Sports WRC update 1.3.0. Firstly, those struggling with late co-driver calls are in luck. The developers are now introducing earlier call settings, providing more time to prepare for corners. Secondly, it seems the AI will now provide a greater challenge. They will reportedly make mistakes less frequently, making for more intense battles.

EA Sports has already announced that the next update will release in early December. Therefore, now is a good time to forward in any bugs you may encounter during your time with the game. The developers have a full list of known issues available to add to here.
