News - EA Sports WRC 23 : Erster umfangreicher Patch fährt los

Mit EA Sports WRC 23 feiert Codemasters einen durchaus gelungenen Einstand der Marke unter der neuen Schirmherrschaft von EA. Allerdings läuft all den spielerischen Qualitäten auf technischer Seite bei Weitem noch nicht alles rund. Ein erster Post-Launch-Patch soll jetzt Abhilfe schaffen.

Mit EA Sports WRC 23 feiert Codemasters den eigenen Rallye-Einstand seit der Übernahme durch Electronic Arts. Auch wenn das Spiel vom Fahrgefühl her durchaus zu überzeugen weiß, haben die Fans noch einige technische Probleme. Diese beheben die Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler jetzt durch einen ersten Patch auf Version 1.3.
