WRC 5 PC Patch 1.07 and hotfix released

Kylotonn Games has released a new PC patch and hotfix for the WRC 5 World Rally Championship game. A console update for the Xbox One and PS4 in still in the works, but will be deployed soon.

For the PC users, WRC 5 Patch 1.07 introduces a selection of performance and sound improvements and also further added hardware support for the Logitech G920 Wheel, Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake, and Fanatec ClubSport Shifter.

After deploying Patch 1.07 (full Changelog below), Kylotonn Games released a hotfix to correct some Windows related Logitech Wheel support issues that were caused by the new patch.

• Bug fix with Logitech Driving Force GT / Driving Force Pro
• Logitech G25 / G27 no longer cause performance issues when Logitech Gaming Software Profile is running.

If your Logitech G25 or G27 doesn’t work on Windows 10 you may have a driver installation problem.

Download correct driver from Logitech website:

• G25 : http://support.logitech.com/en_au/product/g25-racing-wheel
• G27 : http://support.logitech.com/en_au/product/g27-racing-wheel
• Very important: You must choose Windows 8 as the operating system in the drop down list.
• Install the driver
• Navigate to the folder where you saved the driver to. You should have a file called lgs510_x64.exe or lgs510.exe depending on the version you selected.
• Right-click the file and click on “properties”. Then select the “compatibility” tab.
• Tick the “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and choose “Windows 7”.
• Launch the executable. The installation should work and the drivers should be ok.
  Your wheel should now work fine in the game.
