WRC and latest Theatrhythm have stopped working because it's a leap day


Leap day is now upon us and a couple of games aren't happy about this sudden affront to their usual calendar expectatio…

Both EA Sports WRC and Theatrhythm Final Bar Line are currently protesting at the arrival of 29th February by refusing to function on consoles - but, luckily for rally fans and beat tappers, there's a pretty straightforward workaround. Similarly, EA took to social media earlier today to acknowledge Codemasters' World Championship Rally was encountering an "issue on console in which the game may crash on startup." If you don't know how to do that, EA's support has detailed the steps for Xbox and PlayStation in a series of tweets - and while Square is yet to publicly acknowledge the issues affecting Theatrhythm, the solution (as confirmed by Vooks) is exactly the same.
