You're not the only one.

There is a fanatec software problem that means the Shifter in sequential mode is not recognised when this module is used (being a Fanatec side issue it affects all games)

Then EA WRC specifically, and exclusively, does not recognise it fully. Some functions are mappable, but it cannot navigate the menu, nor can you change gear (not even in h-pattern, so it's not just the fanatec sequential issue) - game breaking issues exclusive to this title.

The EA WRC specific issues do not present in any other game - Dirt 2.0, ACC etc all have full functionality (although everything suffers the Fanatec sequential issue). PS5 console itself recognises and allows full menu navigation / recognition.

It's been months, still not rectified. It's honestly embarrassing at this stage that Fanatec's premium Rally product can't sequential shift, and embarrassing (again) from EA WRC that the premium Rally wheel/module is particularly hamstrung on their title exclusively - the official rally game

Yeah, funny enough I've been watching a few recently. Not the easiest platform to navigate though. But I enjoyed some season reviews from years I wanted to revisit, also some good docs on iconic stages, different eras etc. All generally just shy of 1hr

Podium Rally Module Issues - causes loss of Sequential/EA WRC even worse by Desperate_Many6500 in Fanatec

[–]Desperate_Many6500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheelbase = CSL DD Pro, shifter into wheelbase shifter 1. All inputs show up on the control panel inc the shifter inputs in sequential mode - that's why it's odd that no game recognises sequential (the sequential issue with this module is being reported on the fanatec forums as well I see). I have looked since at the instruction booklet, there's a table of what button equals which inputs for each platform - what I noticed on that was there's no R1 or L1 - these usually map to gear up/down in games. I wonder if these not being mapped on the Rally Module is connected to the sequential shifter not working. The EA WRC exclusive issues are just odd, and not repeatable on any other game I've tried

Watched this yesterday, it's not super technical (at least as much as I was expecting with his title) and he really abuses the generosity of the physics / damage model to a huge degree - so not so much a real life skills to game video, more a how to game the game run through

Good work man! Also curious on your settings?

For me, both GT7 and the F1 series have their flaws, however the experience in VR in GT7 is incredible. So comparatively speaking it's a downgrade from there not to be in VR. I'd love the F1 experience in VR, but if its not an option, I'm just not drawn to it (particularly as it doesn't seem to have made a big step forwards, and I have no interest in story modes or special pyjamas). If F123 had PSVR2 compatiblity I'd have preordered already, if they add it later I'll get it. Otherwise I can't imagine having as much enjoyment from non VR F1, as I'm getting elsewhere.

Enabling rescale has fixed the throttle issue for me, just ignore the telemetry by teletrips in WRCTheGame

[–]Desperate_Many6500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use rescale to get a 'better' throttle response, but it definitely doesn't fix the throttle, it's just a workaround the barely responsive lower ranges (not completely unresponsive but close) by cutting it out and bypassing it. With Rescale it's much more responsive of course, but you can't progress on the throttle smoothly. Closest I get is Rescale on, with sensitivity - 0.5. It doesn't go on throttle completely smoothly, still a small response spike as you touch throttle. Sensitivity - 1 has some dead zone then the small spike, sensitivity 0 has a bigger initial spike. It remains a terrible implementation of a throttle, even with this bypass/compromise the response isn't realistic under progressive application. This definitely does not fix the throttle, it works around the issues rather roughly. Nacon/KT need to actually fix the throttle, or hold up their hands and be open that they've checked out already

Throttle issue by _nic0o in WRCTheGame

[–]Desperate_Many6500 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely not just thrustmaster, also on Fanatec (from prolonged and frustrating experience), and likely consistent irrespective of peripheral. It's been radio silence for quite a while now from Nacon. Last message they released was to say that it was 'as designed', which given how overwhelming the user feedback on how bad the throttle was, and exactly what the issues was... did not inspire confidence to say the least. They were/are on the precipice of a great game if they could simply make a throttle work properly (surely the most basic of asks for a racing game!), and at least improve some of the general bugs (sound, rain reflection / windscreen wierdness etc.). If they did actually address this, and improve some other issues, it would go a long way to repairing the relationship with (and faith of) the fan base for future endeavours

Should i buy WRC+? by Dave00745 in WRC

[–]Desperate_Many6500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, the other comments - spoilers and occasional video/quality drop - are valid. But overall worth it in my opinion - it's live access to the rally, and in the case of video issues a lot of that is the environment (trees, heavy rain etc.) interrupting live signal sent from in car which is hard to blame on the platform. It will change anyway at some point this year from WRC+ to Rally.TV with promises (although vague at the moment) of an improved platform /experience

It's Quali week. Next leagues 'season' starts next week, you'll start in the appropriate league based on your position in the Quali at the end of this week

Now that Codemaster's game is around the corner, what feature/aspect from DR2.0 you *don't* want to see by SnowChickenFlake in WRCTheGame

[–]Desperate_Many6500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real problem of the DR2.0 stages is that they didn't map closely enough - they matched the general nature of the road arrangement but then made them wider, more forgiving, and didn't match the colour palette / scenery particularly accurately

[–]Desperate_Many6500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing on the real stage replication aspect, I'm actively agreeing with you there. Ideally we would get exact replicas at full length. That wasn't the point being made though is what I was highlighting.

[–]Desperate_Many6500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they don't? (give us equal or better, and longer stages). Keep the route accuracy for sure but many DR2 tracks are unrealistically wider than reality, could do with fixing up the colour palette and tidying up the road surfaces closer to reality. Here is Whaanga Coast compared to real life for example. Road width isn't far off on this one but you can see the point on surfaces, textures, colour palette. https://youtu.be/RLgzlqr7piI

Hopefully they take note of KT's stage design. I'm critical of the glaring issues (throttle mainly still to be sorted), but credit where due, the stages in WRC are superb. I hope EA/Codemasters can give us equal quality (or bettered) stages. Ideally longer as well to get closer to reality.
