We’ve reviewed the official 1.9.0 patch notes for EA Sports WRC. This patch goes live July 18 at 10:00 UTC and focuses on anticheat, stability, UI updates, and several event-specific fixes.

What changed

Features

  • Added a UI indicator to show when a device binding has been edited by the player.
  • Adjusted Moments sorting so new and in-progress events appear at the front of the list.
  • Corrected localisation errors in "A Moment to Remember" titles and descriptions.

Fixes

  • Added EA anticheat on PC.
  • Performed additional preparatory work on esports WRC.
  • Addressed several minor bugs and issues with VR Beta.
  • Fixed a Quick Play Multiplayer crash that could occur while navigating screens as other players joined the lobby.
  • Fixed an issue where co-driver calls could be heard during transition screens after a stage finish.

Cars, clubs, locations, and performance

  • Fixed an issue where Test Drive could become unavailable after using filters in the Vehicle Vendor.
  • Improved AI teammate performance in Regularity Rally events.
  • Fixed an issue where a customised car could revert to its default livery when resuming an in-progress Club Event.
  • Adjusted the appearance of raindrops on windshields in interior views.
  • Fixed rock collision issues on Mediterraneo stages Asco, Ponte, Monte Cinto, and Serra Di Cuzzioli.
  • Changed the vehicle for Long Haul to the Hyundai i20 N Rally2.

We should notify PC members about the anticheat rollout, verify Club liveries and affected stage/event settings, and ask drivers to confirm their bindings before official sessions.
