WRC Generations is so much better

[Crabbit Wife]

I've been driving EA WRC since it came out and have been very disappointed by the graphics and stuttering, even after patches. I had a drive in WRC Generations last night to compare it, and was shocked to realise Generations looks infinitely better, frame rates are rock solid. Generations puts a smile on my face, I looked worried driving EA WRC. Sorry EA, this is a step backwards, not forwards.

It's the same with Dirt Rally 2.0 both games were better games. I'm about to see if I can't get a refund(doubt it) cause again although content wise it's better the graphics thing and the issue with the tracks themselves(objects of death where signs/trees are indestructible and basically kills your run if you remotely hit anything) it's enough to make me ask for money back.

Edit: They didn't give it so I have to live with the purchase now for sure. I'll keep DR2 installed until they fix more issues.

WRC Generations is a great rally title for many reasons. It's a shame it went out the way it did.

Still more people on Steam driving DR 2.0 than WRC.

Really? they botched sound(car and env) and especially the throttle in WRC G. I trust/hope that they will fix the issues in EA WRC. The good thing about WRC G is that it made me install RBR:)

People had some issues with the throttle zones iirc and blew it all out of proportion,the devs then took offence and made a couple of statements,then walked away,never looking back.I don't blame them one bit.The throttle issue people whined about is non-existant on my systems,both of them work 0-100% throttle.I own Fanatec CSW2.5 btw.I tried this 'new' wrc and dont like the engine,so i wont be buying it until it's on a massive sale just to run through career once or twice.I really enjoy WRC10 and Generations and they look fantastic,ecspecially GeNERATIONS AT 4K MAXXED NATIVE RES.My 3090 doesn't even hit 60c after a good hour session,with 70% fanspeed,that's optimized right there boys and girls.

I suggest buying it RIGHT NOW while it's 60% off!!!

I'm in the same boat. Have a fantastic dd1 and never had an issue with the throttle. The game has worked perfectly for me since launch and I'm just under 300hrs.

When this game gets dailies, those in DR2 will move to this game, I play both and DR2 stays installed because of the dailies and weeklies.

Dont forget that WRC Generations is the same engine just developed further with time.
That is the reason why stage and car ports to next generations release was so easy.
This EA WRC title is the first game on a new engine.
Further Ports of the game will show if it can contest or not.
With the new engine all need to developed from scretch on.
That you can see in the actual state of development.
In other words, dont compare 10 year of development on a same game title with a complete new one.
Also i CANT sign the topic with no stutters on KT Racing WRC titles. Morefurther there be stutters on every title on the same map with different nvidia cards. Following up some discussions let it seem like AMD users are not affected on.
Also some stages are very stupid developed and let the car glitch into ground and so on.
In overall KT Racing WRC Game is also STILL in a very bad condition.
However, i dont want to start any kind of rand against KT Racing WRC. They was also good games who gave me a lot of time with fun.
Unreal 4 have a highly compatiblity to Unreal 5. So content that will be created right now can later port to the next higher engine.
In my opinion the step of Codemasters to UE4 is the right one with best future potential.
BUT, EA pressured to much about the release date AGAIN and we received AGAIN a half finished product.
So i totaly understand if people dislike the game right now. But we should patient and see what the future shows us.
We just shouldn't apply double standards.

WRC 9 and Generations are the best for me. But i also enjoyed EA WRC. It's reminds me first DiRT Rally game.

Having gone back to wr. 9 to compare, I really feel like they feel the same. Albeit the ffb is better on wrc 9

Why would you think signs and trees and rocks wouldn't destroy your car and not the other way around?

[SinnerMass]

Just bought it today with a fresh windows 11 install as well. Game stutters 🙄 so frustrating.

Well you hit a stop sign pole and the car comes to a complete stop like you just hit a stopped semi truck lol it should do some damage it shouldn't do that

My last "good" WRC was WRC 8 with the DriversEdition Mod from RaceDepartment.

Well its true that you shouldnt come to a full stop. But does it really matter? Your run is over no matter what. Same with some bushes and trees, you shouldnt come to a full stop there too, but also the more realistic alternative would end your run. And the third alternative, them being like ghosts would be much worse in my opinion.
It would be nice if the sign gets damaged and knocked to the side, as you're driving over it, spinning in the end and so on. But your run will be over either way, so i personally dont care.
Avoid signs, trees and bushes and learn which bushes you can pass through. But that is just my personal opinion.
There are "4 left" curves you can go through full throttle and there are other ones you just cant. Its all about learning and adapting. If you want to be competitive youll need to learn and master the stage without failures. Doenst even matter if youre racing online or against AI. Well at least if they get the AI fixed.^^

My biggest problem is that setups get corrupted. This is really an issue in my opinion. A big one and needs to get sorted out fast.
And Clubs are nice, but the clubs menues are crap. I cant even see which ones i already finished.

By the way, havent played WRCG in some time but i loved the ranking system. Putting you in leagues with other players and ranking up after that. Is this mode still active? I liked that even more than the Dailies and Weeklies in DR 2.0
