Game crash after window anticheat
Pls game crash after window anti cheat, I reinstalled the game, changed the hard drive, tried reinstalling the anti-cheat, repaired, uninstalled, reinstalled, nothing works, I don't understand, it was working fine just three weeks ago and now it's not working anymore, I don't know what else to do... EAAntiCheatService The game wrc.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x138Views0likes1CommentThe game crashes right at the opening intro
Today, out of nowhere, the game won’t launch. Without any error message, it crashes right at the opening intro. Yesterday everything worked without any issues. According to available information, many players are experiencing this problem. The Windows Event Viewer shows the following error: EAAntiCheatService The game wrc.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005 It looks like some kind of issue with the anti-cheat. Please fix it. Several tournaments are underway and time is running. Thank you.2.5KViews23likes35CommentsCan't connect to EA
Since two days ago I not being able to connect to EA sports server when playing WRC. The game crashed and an error window appeared and when I click next, a browser window opened with some information about Denuvo and I had to copy a very long text so I could open the game, but since then I'm not able to connect online. I have the Steam version of the game, already did this: Verified game files (NOT WORKED); Desinstalled and installed the entire game (NOT WORKED); Installed manually the EA AntiCheat (NOT WORKED); What I have to do so I can play again the game with online support, I just finished the campaign and the career mode and I want to play the moments, but without internet connection ins't possible. Thank you149Views3likes4CommentsEA Anticheat Removal - when?
Now that EA WRC has more or less been abandoned, at least the horrible EA Anticheat should be removed. Since EA Anticheat was introduced, I haven't been able to play the game, EA didn't care, and I didn't get my money back either. So finally remove EA Anticheat from the game.45Views0likes0CommentsGame availability.
I have WRC 8 on Steam, and WRC 10 on Epic, both purchased long ago, as I only use EA app for EA games to avoid linkage errors. My question: WRC Generations & associated DLC etc is a game I really want to purchase through EA App. Two or three days ago I search the store (via the app) and could only find the very latest release. I would like to play Generations before the latest release. Did I simply miss it?, or are those games (up to and including WRC Generations) Still available for purchase?Solved84Views0likes3CommentsWRC won't start, need to "activate"
I haven't been able to start WRC for over two months now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the EA App, WRC, the "anti-cheat" files as recommended with no success. I would get the error message that says, Yesterday, after about twp weeks of not trying, I tried again and get this error: I am definitely signed into my EA account on the EA App and launch it from there, and this error box gives me no options to "activate" the game??? This is VERY frustrating that regardless of what I try, I cannot get the game to run. HELP!!!20Views0likes0CommentsRacenet or ea app not showing wrc
I have done a deep dive both on here and chat gpt. I bought the game on steam and the game is not recognized on the ea or racenet which maybe causing the problem. Crossplay is turned on and I've even tried disabling my firewall to see if that was causing the problem. The steps I've taken so far is Crossplay enabled Firewall is disabled Logged in EA sports app Logged into racent Open wrc through steam, then when I open clubs only one club is available and the QR code is telling me to log into racenet. The only other solution I can find is redeeming a proof of purchase code from steam, (which they are not providing or I can't find) or to pay an annual fee to join some ea membership Please help16Views0likes0CommentsEsports Plans? Bug Report Permission? WRC Ending?
Hello EA SPORTS WRC Team and Community, I would like to share some thoughts, feedback, and questions — some about WRC, and one about F1 Esports. Please read carefully. 1. Will There Be Any Esports in EA SPORTS WRC? I bought this game hoping to compete in an esports challenge because I feel much more confident in this game compared to the F1 series. However, nothing official was ever announced. Can someone confirm whether an esports tournament was ever planned or if it was canceled because of unresolved corner-cutting exploits and anti-cheat issues? It would be great to know whether there’s still hope or not. Please let us know if the idea was scrapped or is still in progress. 2. May I Submit a Bug Report in Video Format for Time Trial Mode? I found a bug in Time Trial which I explained long ago in a written forum post, but it seems it wasn’t understood. I believe it needs to be shown via a gameplay recording. Can I upload or link a video here in the forum to make sure the devs can finally understand what’s happening? Or would that be pointless now, since you announced that development is ending — though you didn’t mention exactly when it stops, so maybe there’s still time to fix a few things? 3. One F1 Esports Question (Sorry if Off-topic): I know this is the WRC forum, but my question is about the qualification process in the F1 Esports Series. The official qualification results only go up to F1 2023: https://f1esports.com/qualification/results/2023 And the latest video guide is from 2022: https://f1esports.com/qualification Yet new drivers appeared in F1 2024 and even F1 2025 seasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One_Esports_Series How did these people qualify in F1 2023 and F1 2024 when there was no visible Esports mode in the game like before, where you had to complete a scenario and appear on the leaderboard? Was the process hidden or done internally? 4. Sad News About WRC Development Ending – Please Reconsider I was disappointed to hear that EA and Codemasters will no longer develop EA SPORTS WRC. Honestly, I think you are making a mistake. Here’s my guess why you stopped: I noticed that in some Time Trial Stages, there are only 6.000 to 15.000 leaderboard entries. Compare that to F1 games Time Trial Tracks, which often have 100.000 to 500.000 entries. So maybe the game didn’t sell well, and you didn’t make enough from DLCs either. But this game had huge potential. It is the most complete rally game I’ve ever seen—so many rally cars, stages, and surfaces. I still don’t have time to try them all. It’s sad that such quality is being dropped while other titles with much less effort continue yearly. That being said, let’s talk honestly about the pricing. The base game launched at 60 euros, even though it was broken at launch—frequent crashes, stuttering, and even an anti-cheat conflict that made it unplayable for 3 months. And on top of that, you added four separate DLCs, each costing 20 to 30 euros. Sorry to say this, but that’s greedy behavior. Asking 60 plus 100 euros for a game that didn’t even work properly at first? That’s unacceptable. You lost player trust because of this — not just because of bugs, but because you treated your audience like walking wallets. 5. Final Words – WRC vs F1 Game Quality WRC is a model for how a serious game should be developed. You kept one platform, added meaningful content, and built a long-term experience. Despite early issues, it evolved into a polished product. This is exactly the kind of long-term, player-focused development that earns trust. By contrast, the F1 series feels stuck in a yearly outdated money-printing cycle — rushed releases, recurring bugs, minimal innovation, and inflated pricing. Many fans accuse the devs of copy-pasting features, and I agree. There’s a clear lack of responsibility for quality, especially when players are asked to pay 60 euros for a product that sometimes doesn’t even function properly at launch. On top of that, just like in WRC, the F1 games also include multiple expensive DLCs, adding even more costs for players. This kind of pricing strategy feels greedy and exploitative, especially when the base experience is already unstable. I strongly believe the F1 series should follow the WRC model: - Stop releasing a new game every year - Keep one base platform and simply update it with new cars, driver lineups, and features - Don’t remake laser-scanned tracks annually — it makes no sense This is the approach that games like WRC and Counter-Strike 2 have taken. They evolve, improve, and actually listen to their communities. That’s why CS2 never releases annually — it doesn't need to. Its value grows over time instead of being reset every year, and that is why it succeeds. WRC was close to achieving that same standard. Please don’t throw away such a solid foundation. I sincerely ask that you reconsider your decision to end development. Thank you for your time. I hope someone from the team reads this and takes it seriously. All the best in the future794Views8likes12CommentsAdd triple monitor support with free Unreal Engine plugin
Please add triple monitor support via this free Unreal Engine plugin https://github.com/fracturedbyte/UE4-MultiViewRendering This is the same plugin that Assetto Corsa Competizione uses for triple monitor support as can be seen by the attached photo. No need to create this functionality from scratch and proven to work in a shipped Unreal Engine 4 game. This plugin should be able to be added to WRC with minimal tweaks. Here is how ACC handles triple monitor support in game. First enable triple screen in video options. Then enter any game mode and once you are in a vehicle pause the game and select view settings> triple & widescreen to setup triple monitor support (screenshot attached).4.1KViews69likes37CommentsRacenet does not show multiplayer stats
At Racenet I don't have stats reflected For EA WRC game multiplayer. I have everything turned on in relevant settings in game including ghost and stats sharing. It states, "Gain stats by playing Multiplayer." But I'm playing multiplayer - I'm doing clubs events and my participation is logged there and results appear on Racenet in club's standings. But when I go to stats for my profile in multiplayer section it says everything is 0. Screenshot is in attach.23Views0likes0CommentsTurn off start countdown lights 🤷🏽♂️
People have been asking for years now for us to be able to turn off the countdown lights that come up in the centre of the screen. Why haven't you addressed this yet???? Some people like to run as realistic as possible. Co driver counts down and there are lights on the stage. 🤷🏽♂️ There is actually no point in them big daft ones in the centre!!38Views1like0Comments
