Developer Milestone released the first patch for the Xbox 360 and PC versions of its popular racing title, WRC 3: FIA World Rally Championship. WRC 3 is the official video game of the 2012 World Rally Championship season.
While the Xbox 360 build of the patch can be auto-downloaded via Xbox LIVE, the PC patch can be downloaded from any of the two links below. Per the release notes and changelog, this patch will update the game’s version to 1.01 while also addressing the heating issue with Logitech’s wheels, as well as various other issues.
The patch contains a number of improvements and optimizations that improve stability and performance of the game. The new content is also said to address some of the most significant bugs that have been reported over recent months.
Players can now avoid save in Rally when they exit to the main menu of the game (earlier there would be a crash on reload if a checkpoint passed before leaving the main menu). There is also a fix to avoid menu resource load in race, a split time bar fix in free run rally, disabled camera controls for C30 Hot Seat, and other minor fixes.
