PC
Documented workaround

Friends use different PC storefronts

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The PC Crossplay update explicitly supports the same lobbies across Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store. This evidence concerns PC storefronts and does not establish PC-to-console crossplay. [1]

Documented steps

  1. Install the PC Crossplay update before expecting its shared PC lobbies. [1]
Resolved

A less common custom steering-wheel device causes a crash

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The same minor update addresses a rare crash associated with a custom steering-wheel controller outside the Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec devices named in the note. It does not instruct players to remove drivers or replace a wheel. [2]

Resolved

Leaderboards fail to load after game startup

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The November 2022 minor update resolves leaderboards often failing to load immediately after launching Wreckfest. This is a historical startup fix, not a statement that online leaderboard services cannot later have an outage. [2]

Documented workaround

A leaderboard-based tournament challenge is missing

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The Solo Tournament announcement retires leaderboard-based challenges in favour of solo score targets. That mode change is expected behaviour, rather than proof that a leaderboard challenge failed to download. [3]

Documented steps

  1. Use the Solo Tournament challenges to earn fame for tournament-shop rewards. [3]
