WRC24 game won't start on Windows 11 PC
This is ridiculous. The game gets to the splash screen and turns off. Already installed, reinstalled, repaired, checked my cables, ran my updates... blah blah blah Does EA have a fix or how can I get a refund? Is that why the game is on sale? Thank youSolved656Views0likes7Comments
EA Sports WRC on Playstation
Can someone please clarify is EA Sports WRC is now included in EA Play on Playstation or not? I saw announcements that WRC is now included in EA Play. When I open my Playstation Store, it shows up in the list with games included in EA Play, but when I want to install the game, it still costs me €44,99Solved412Views0likes3Comments

Hello all, from 28th of August, my game suddenly stopped launching. I played it almost every day for a small amount of time, as well on 27th of August. I have over 200 hours played, and game was working fine even after releasing 1.9.0 patch. But form day to day, it stopped launching. I'm using Steam, pressing Play, EA Splash Screen pops up, loading, and after that nothing happens, game is not starting. I can only see an error in the Windows Event: EAAntiCheatService Failed to obtain Origin directory. From day to day, when nothing changed, no driver updates, no game updates, no Windows updates, nothing changed in my configuration, it decided to stop working. For two day I tried contact with EA support with creating the case and talking with different people in chat, but they finally directed me to this forum. We tried many things they could find in the Internet (!), but it didn't help at all. But, as far I can understand, EA Anticheat is coded by EA, so if my application has coded in an error output (preety straightforward) Failed to obtain Origin directory I should know what I meant by that. But it appears I must looking help everywhere, but not in the source. Can anyone help me with this exact error? I don't want to shooting ducks. I would like have this exaxt error explanation. What have Origin path to do with Steam app? Why it needs it now, if never before nedded it? It wasn't on my PC before. Is Origin app even still alive? Who wrote this EA Anticheat app? If anyone could help, I would be grateful.Solved1.7KViews3likes5Comments
1.9.0 - Moments screen empty and unusable after completion
Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC Platform:Steam-PC Summarize your bug After completing a Moment and returning to selection screen there are no moments shown and navigation controls not functional. How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This has happened twice after 1.9.0 starting from a state of all Moments having achieve Gold medal. 1. Open Moments 2. Filter by medal "none" 3. Choose the only new moment available 4. Complete the Moment and choose "continue" to return back to the main moment selection screen 5. No moments showing and controls not functional What happens when the bug occurs? See above.. the Moment screen shows nothing and no controls are functional What do you expect to see? I expect the game to return to the Moments screen and show all Moments with their completion medals. I have completed all Moments to Gold level. I received patch 1.9.0 and when launched the game, there was 1 new moment available. I proceeded to complete that Moment and the issue as described above occurs. Today, the 2nd day after patch 1.9.0 there should be another new moment and there is, so i complete that one in the same manner described above and the issue occurs again. I think what is happening is the Moments screen is trying to remember previous filtered list of Moments and as there are now no Moments which have a medal status of "none" it is showing an empty Moments screen (presumably still trying to show a filtered list). No idea why controls are not working. Attached screenshot shows what it looks like after returning back after completing a Moment.Solvedmce0767 months agoNew Scout707Views2likes4CommentsIssue with EA SPORTS™ WRC Game Crashing on Start-Up
Dear Madam/Sir, I recently purchased EA SPORTS™ WRC during the summer sale on Steam, eager to participate in a potential future Rally Esports challenge. Unfortunately, the game crashes on start-up, preventing me from even reaching the main menu. I have noticed that many others have faced this issue since the game's release in November 2023. It is quite frustrating that this problem persists even in July 2024. Or maybe my PC is at fault? Could you please provide any information on whether there will be a fix for this issue soon? Additionally, I would like to know if the game will be delivered annually or if it will evolve into a model similar to CS2 or Dota 2, with continuous updates instead of annual sales. Given that I am currently unable to play the game, I am uncertain about the refund process. If there is a positive response regarding continuous updates rather than annual sales, I would prefer to keep the game hoping that this start-up crash will be fixed in the future. Otherwise, I will have to request a refund. I also read some reviews claiming that you added Kernel Anti-Cheat. Upon checking my Event Viewer, I saw 4 Critical Kernel-Power events and 4 Critical AppModel-Runtime events. Is your Anti-Cheat not working properly and crashing my computer? As soon as I see the intro video, my computer screen turns black, and the speed of all fans increases to the maximum. I could not even access task manager with Ctrl + Alt + Del. I only heard sound and could not give any input to my computer. In order to stop this, I have to press the power button and then restart the computer immediately to give all the hardware components time to cool down. This Kernel issue also happened with other games on release, such as CS2, for example (I checked Event Viewer at that time as well). Now, some months later, the CS2 game does not crash due to these errors as they do not happen anymore. CS2 also behaved in the same way with a black screen and other issues similar to your game. I also tried to write the same messages above in the EA WRC Forum. My content was marked as spam for no reason. I wanted to edit a word in my text and then it immediately got marked as spam. Or did someone report my post? This is my second message. Additionally, the link from EA is incorrect. They ask, "If you believe it is an error please report the abuse regarding the spam," and I am being sent to "Tell us why this content is inappropriate." Please help me.

Crash to desktop at particular section in Oceania
Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC Platform:Steam-PC Summarize your bug Every time I approach a particular section of road from either direction (I've attached a picture below, its approximately the red section which appears on Waiwera, Tahekeroa, Noakes Hill and Orewa in Oceania) the game crashes to desktop with no error message or events in windows logs. How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Drive one of these stages. I first found it on Waiwara, exactly 7.8 Km in according to simhub. In the previous CER version of this, people could sense a hiccup even if they didn't get a crash What happens when the bug occurs? The game stutters hard once, then crashes. My wheel locks up and needs to be restarted, and I get no error messages or windows logs errors or events What do you expect to see? No crashes This feels exactly like an issue I had previously with a particular corner in CER. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Game-crashes-with-UE-error-at-same-spot-in-stage/m-p/13495016/highlight/true#M3963 I solved this by turning off FSR, but in this case I'm not using FSR and turning off upscaling entirety also didn't solve it. The CER issue displayed a UE error message but otherwise was the same. I am fairly certain this is a new bug that came with new patch, as I've driven these stages before 1.7 with no trouble. I won't be able to test until later but I believe forcing directx 11 will stop the crash, but severely degrade performance (this worked on the CER errors last time, if I remember correctly)Solved796Views0likes3CommentsHuge FPS drop since anticheat update
Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC Platform:Steam-PC Summarize your bug After recent anticheat update FPS dropped from 100 to 30-40 and now game is unplayable, especially when lights are being used in a darker stage. How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game after new update wit headlights on. What happens when the bug occurs? Stuttering and laging What do you expect to see? Smooth running game like before. It seems that with every update I get a small fps drop but this time it's massive FPS drop at level where game is no longer playable due to stuttering. After each update I was getting 5-10fps drop, but I was just lowering the graphics to compensate and wasn't so noticable when I started with 140fps at the beggining, after several updates it went down to ~100 but now after the latest update it went down to 30-40 fps. This has to be fixed as I'm not going to play the game on ultra low graphics with RTX 3070 graphics card!Solved577Views0likes3Comments
Crash to Desktop since 1.8.0
Crash to Desktop since last patch I'm a pretty consistent player of this game (80+ hours), and I'm pretty familiar with troubleshooting pc issues, but this last patch has me completely mystified on random crashes to desktop.

The crash randomly occurs when I click on "Run Game" (Steam) -- the intro music and video plays, and as soon as the menu would appear (it doesn't), the game crashes. Running a few times seems to randomly work? I've never had a CTD for EAWRC like this before, and I've not updated any hardware or drivers before the previous patch, which never had any crash to desktop.

Broken UDP telemetry fields in version 1.8.0

Unable to join open clubs?
I reported this as a bug on Racenet, but has anyone else been having trouble joining open Clubs — particularly Official Clubs and Partnered Clubs?

There are no club names on PS5
Did you know that in the game on PS5, the club names are not displayed? Because of this, you need to rely on the admin's username to distinguish them. Instead of the name, a completely useless title is used on each club: WRC Club. Thanks, but they are all WRC clubs. It would be better to show the name of this club. Just as a reminder: please add the nationality and the flag of 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan to the game. Thank you very much in advance!Solved277Views0likes1Comment
