The 2024 season update for EA Sports WRC is not far off anymore - and now, the stage lists for the two new locations Latvia and Poland have been unveiled.

When it first launched in 2023, it was not quite clear if EA Sports WRC was intended to be an annual release or not. Almost a year later, we know that it is not a series that will see a new title every year - instead, the 2024 season update for the game is set to release on October 8.

Not only does that mean that the 2024 WRC cars, drivers and liveries will make their debut, but also two new locations that were not on the 2023 World Rally Championship calendar: Latvia and Poland. Much like the Central European Rally that was added after the game's launch last year, the two Eastern European rallies will join the list of EA Sports WRC locations.

The real-life events were run in succession this June and July, with Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Haltunen taking the victory on each occasion, marking victories number 2 and 3 for the part-time Toyota duo. While Latvia made its WRC debut, it was a comeback for Poland, which had been part of the WRC calendar in 2009 and from 2014 to 2017 before.

Both locations look rather fast judging from the stage route previews posted to social media, with Latvia being run exclusively on gravel and Poland throwing the occasional tarmac road in the mix. Both should be challenging events, possibly similar to Rally Estonia or even Rally Finland.

I had to install on C: after the anti cheat was introduced. But, like many have said, having 100gb taken up on my system drive is not possible. So, I did a little more reading and managed to get the game where I want it and it launches and seems to play fine. I installed the anti cheat on the games drive that the game is now on and it seems to have done the trick. I can't remember exactly how I did it, but I think you just run the anti cheat .exe from the game folder when the game is on the drive that you want it to be and it seems to have bypassed the necessity to have the game on the Windows drive.

Sounds like true professional game development 'with love' from EA/CM. But I'm glad you find solution and share it with others.

I don't have it installed on C. Maybe it just needed re-install?

Installing the game to C drive is the first thing they will tell you on their Discord. They're not EA support people, just other users. Installing to C is not required, but someone in there thinks it is and keeps repeating it. I won't mention any names. Just stay out of their Discord if you need help.

I hated their Discord. Slightest complaint and a group of people would chime in telling you why you were stupid and how wonderful everything really is. I wasn't a victim of this myself, but I saw so much of it I realised it wasnt really worth the bother visiting the place. Anyway, I was enjoying the title with its drawbacks up until the announcement of EA Anti-Cheat so just uninstalled it and went back to Dirt 2.0 and RallySimFans all in VR all performing fantastically.

A pity, as playing EA WRC with UEVR was decent enough before they broke it with their own VR implementation which was crap and I doubt it has improved much since. Most of their excuses were based around a small team who are using UE for first time as well as implementing VR for first time.. So what!? That shouldn't be my problem.

Anyway, it sits in my library uninstalled. Got 60 hours out of it so probably got my initial investments moneys worth.

Remove the anticheat and see me play this game again, even spend money on it, since I actually kinda liked it.

I had the same problem. Solution: Move the game to C:\, which can be done directly through Steam, if you are playing on computer.

Its totally dumb, but this Anti Cheat farce is always installed on C:\ and requires the game to be in the same directory.

Didn´t hear about this, but I will try. My actual install disk is F. Following your criteria, I will move to C, although it is not steam, but EA launcher. If this is the solution, I don´t understand why EA has not published it. Cross my fingers...

It's good it's not as I though. I still think this kind of software done more bad than good but that's my opinion.
I realized my comment can sounds unkindly. I'm sorry. I'm far from it.

My WRC game folder with Anti-Cheat on D: drive. Maybe if you use the EA App things are different, but why would you want to use the EA app? More reason not to if it requires you to install to C: to work.
