WRC

What is WRC 5-10 & Generations?

These are the official WRC games that spanned 2015-2022 before EA acquired the WRC license. They were developed by KT Racing (formerly Kylotonn), now owned by Nacon (formerly Bigben Interactive).

Performance

Framerate and Frametime Problems

• Use RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) to limit the framerate of Nacon WRC 5-10-Generations for smoother FPS and frametimes
  • Known Issue: WRC 5 doesn't like RTSS and won't get past a blank white screen. Use NVIDIA Control Panel to limit framerate, instead.
• This resulted in dramatically improved frametimes for me when limiting to 60 even though I could push 165+ fps when not limited
• The WRC games seem to have a problem managing their own FPS resulting in unsteady framerates and unsteady frametimes resulting stuttering
• These problems occur even when hard-limited by Vsync, and presumably VRR, Gsync/FreeSync, Adaptive Sync, etc. RTSS limiting fixes this.
• It seems this problem is common to the KT Engine games which the WRC, V-Rally 4, and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown games use

Known Issues

WRC 5 Incompatible With RivaTuner Statistics Server

• tl;dr Add WRC 5 profile to RTSS and set Detection Level to None
• WRC 5 will launch and freeze on a blank white screen if RTSS is running
• Related to multiplayer/esport anticheat software(?)
• To limit framerate, use NVIDIA Control Panel
