In a strange turn of events, the racing title EA Sports WRC has seemingly stopped working due to it being a Leap Year. The issue has caused EA to make an official statement about how to fix this issue with EA Sports WRC, so players can get back to racing as soon as possible.
WRC remains one of the longest running racing games in the genre, and it continues to be a fun franchise for many fans of rally racing. Although there are many rallying games within the racing genre, the WRC series has been a central franchise when it comes to motorsport titles. Developer Codemasters is regarded as one of the best when it comes to crafting racing titles, and WRC has continued this reputation. However, no matter how good a studio is at building exciting games, hiccups are almost always bound to happen, and one strange bug has caused the latest WRC to completely stop working because of today's date.
Due to today being Leap Day, EA Sports WRC has completely stopped working on consoles. Although some people may be happy to have an extra day this year, WRC players were met with a strange bug that caused the game to not work due to the additional day. However, EA made an official statement on the EA Help Twitter account with advice on how WRC players can fix the issue.
EA addressed fans via the EA Help account on Twitter with a solution to the problem that has been plaguing the game. By going into the console's settings, players can update the day's date to read March 1 instead of February 29. After players make this change in the settings, the game should work normally, allowing those who enjoy WRC to continue business as usual. Although there hasn't been any official reason given as to why Leap Day would make a game completely stop working, EA Help stated in its tweet that an investigation is being done on the problem.
Although there have been many hilarious glitches in games, this specific issue for EA Sports WRC is one of the strangest in recent memory. This issue is a perfect example of how random some bugs and glitches can be. Despite there not being any clear reasoning behind why Leap Day caused the game to stop functioning, affected players can at least fix the issue by setting their console's clocks a day forward.
