I'm making this thread in order to identify Bugs, Glitches, and Support with the current revision of this game. Wishfully thinking Milestone/ Big Ben or even an enterprising modder will see these and correct it accordingly.
I'm sure there are more bugs in this game. Please list them and have a verfied source that we can replicate. Please add your system specs as well. I will update the main thread as we move forward.
Why is this in the General Discussions forum?
This area gets the most discussions and attention.
Refresh and Vsync Bug
It's nice that we finally have an FPS selection greater then 30 FPS however if you set a greater refresh rate than 30 Hz such as 60 Hz along with Vsync enabled it will revert back to 30 Hz in game.

Game hangs on loading during Quick Stage and Rally Mode's
If you set your refresh greater then 30 Hz the game hangs on the loading screen after a completed stage during Quick Stage and Rally Mode's. The only way out is to press ALT+F4 which then prompts if you want to quit the game.

Multi-GPU Optimization
If your system has Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire enabled there is no noticeable difference in game play. Multi-GPU's are clearly showing load however if you monitor FPS with FRAPS or Rivatuner there is no significant FPS improvements.

Sound cuts out intermittently between stages during Career Mode.

Solution
You're required to create an account with RakNet in order to save and play online. Go to Network on the WRC 4 Launcher -> Create Account. A new window will open to create your account. You will then need to validate your account through your email address.
Also keep in mind to avoid emails from Hotmail, for some reason RakNet does not work very well with Hotmail. I suggest using a Gmail account.
