As a brand-new event to the real-life World Rally Championship calendar, the Central European Rally was only added to EA Sports WRC in December 2023. Many rally fans were looking forward to the new location – but it also introduced some grave issues to the game.
For some players, this resulted in their career mode saves becoming unplayable, potentially even losing their saved data altogether. This unfolded right before the holidays as well, so players were not exactly happy about EA Sports announcing that the EA Sports WRC career fix update would not be available until mid-January 2024. Many had planned to continue their career modes over the Christmas break, but could not to so as a result.
Furthermore, the bug of the AI becoming extremely slow after resuming career or championship events will also be solved. Additionally, console performance has been addressed, particularly concerning the excessive screen tearing players faced.
Version 1.4.1 is a comparatively small update then, but extremely important for the title. For the next bigger update to v1.5, only VR implementation is left as a confirmed feature. An important element to many sim racers, VR did not carry over from DiRT Rally 2.0, where it was also added after launch.
