Massive bug-squashing WRC Generations hits PC, PS5 and Xbox update today – Traxion

KT Racing has announced many improvements to its recently released rally game Today’s WRC lap (2^n.d December 2022).

The patch’s title is a solution to smearing issues experienced by many WRC Generation players. Cars often remained stationary until the gas pedal was applied to close to maximum levels – an issue with roots in the game’s predecessor WRC 10.

The car setup options have also been optimized, and incorrect setup restrictions have been fixed. Wet tires also now have a greater advantage over dry ones in extreme conditions, adding a more realistic element of strategy to the events. Tooltips have also been added to help guide you in setting up your car, a handy feature for the inexperienced sim racer.

PC users will be happy to know that they will find solutions for Fanatec GT DD Pro wheel FFB issues, with improved implementation of Nvidia’s DLSS graphics enhancement technology. PlayStation users also get minor updates to the game’s sounds and speed note management systems.

The new WRC Generations update is now out for all versions of WRC Generations except the newly released Nintendo Switch edition.

What are your early thoughts on a final match with KT Racing’s WRC license? Let us know in the comments below.
