EA SPORTS WRC will not launch - Javelin Anticheat Error 87
EA SPORTS WRC will not launch - Javelin Anticheat Error 87 / Invalid game directory Game: EA SPORTS WRC (PC, EA App) Computer name: VENGEANCE OS: Windows 11 Summary: WRC fails to launch every time. Event Viewer (Application log) logs an EA Javelin Anticheat error (Event ID 1000) each attempt: "The game wrc.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x1." Most recently, the EA App itself also returned a generic error: "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." Troubleshooting already completed (no change in behavior): - Repaired the game via EA App (My Collection > WRC > Repair) - Ran EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe from both C:\Program Files\EA\AC\ and the game's own bundled installer folder - both give "Invalid game directory" when selecting Repair, even when pointing to the correct install path (C:\Program Files\EA Games\EA SPORTS WRC) - Manually starting the EAAntiCheatService in services.msc fails with "Error 87: The parameter is incorrect" - Deleted and recreated the EAAntiCheatService via sc delete / sc create, pointing to EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe - no change - Ran sc query EAAntiCheatService to confirm the service exists (STOPPED, WIN32_EXIT_CODE 0) - Ran sfc /scannow - no integrity violations found - Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - completed, no change - Ran fsutil resource setautoreset true C: and rebooted - no change - Confirmed DNS resolves gateway.ea.com correctly (tested via 8.8.8.8 after finding ISP DNS was timing out; switched system DNS to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 - no change to the anticheat error) - Verified no third-party antivirus is installed (Windows Defender only) - Temporarily disabled Core Isolation / Memory Integrity - no change - Checked Reliability Monitor - no critical events logged for the crash - Checked %localappdata%\WRC\Saved\Logs\WRC.log - file is empty - Ruled out a WRC_Trial.exe file in the Win64 folder as a cause (temporarily removed it, error persisted) - Confirmed install folder structure and installerdata.xml manifest are present and intact Given that Windows-level checks (SFC, DISM, service registration) all come back clean and the anticheat installer consistently rejects the correct install directory as invalid, I believe this may require backend access to my account/entitlement or install-token data to diagnose further. Could you please investigate on your end? Thank you for your help.6Views0likes0CommentsI can't play it via steam link anymore
I have EA WRC on Steam. I used to play it with Meta Quest 3 VR using virtual desktop and it was ok. But, when I try to conect it via steam link, using my new headset Samsung Galaxy XR, when the game launches on VR, my right screen starts to just flash some blue lights and a message is shown on the PC monitor: "the vr headset is currently unavailable". When I try to use it with virtual desktop, it plays using VDXR runtime. I looked on reddit and I found another guy with this issue. I reinstalled the game, reinstalled steamvr and steam link, checked for corrupted files but nothing has worked. I could play it via steam link when I got my new headset. I spent a week without playing and, when I tried to play, I could not due to what I've just described. Looking foward to a help. Thank you!!20Views0likes0Comments106 a6
Hi Codemasters/EA team, I really enjoy EA SPORTS WRC on PS5, the driving physics and stages are fantastic! I would love to see the following classic rally cars added in a future update or DLC: Peugeot 106 A6 Renault Clio Williams Both are iconic cars in rally history and would be amazing to drive in the game. Thanks for listening to the community and keep up the great work! 🙌107Views0likes0CommentsCouple of improvements
Dear EA Team, WRC is a pretty decent game, I am playing it since the release, a couple of improvements would be nice if you plan to make a new DLC or a new game in the future: there are a lot more spectators in real life, especially in Monte Carlo of Finnland for example. The drives make different tyre choices, also inbetween the stages, and do cross fits ( like snow on front right and soft tyre in the front left and so on). This is a big part of rallying, and would make the game a lot more realistic and enjoyable for rally fans! :) we only get to choose one set of tyres for all four wheels and if we take a spare it is the same type of tyre120Views0likes0CommentsCorrupted save; 2A522156-6522DF69-CF228F62

Hello everyone, I play WRC24 on PC with a fanatec setup which has a clutch pedal, H-Pattern Gearshift and a handbreak. If I drive a manual car in manual mode its working all fine, however when trying to enable automatic mode or shifters, the car just wont move an inch. I can cycle through the gears via paddle shifters but when pressing the gas the car just revs and does not move. This is also the case when having it in Automatic shift mode and automatic clutch. The issue is not with my hardware. There is nothing stuck or anything, it works perfect when driving a manual car in manual and an auto car in auto. A manual car in auto thoe just doesn´t drive. Any Ideas? Hendrik58Views0likes0CommentsRenault Megane Kit Car rear lights incorrectly modeled
Hello EA Sports WRC Team, I would like to report a visual inaccuracy regarding the Renault Megane Kit Car in EA SPORTS WRC. In the current game version, the rear lights are not modeled correctly. On the real Renault Megane Kit Car, the rear lights consist of distinct circular tail lamps, but in the game these appear incorrectly positioned and shaped, resembling standard brake lights rather than the correct circular design. This issue affects visual authenticity and historical accuracy of the vehicle, especially for players familiar with the real car or classic rally models. Platform: (PC / PS5 / Xbox – complete as applicable) Game version: Latest available update Mode tested: (e.g. Time Trial, Rally, Replay) I kindly ask the development team to review this and consider correcting the rear light model in a future update. Thank you for your work on EA SPORTS WRC and for supporting the community.71Views0likes0CommentsA serious bug which prevents game login
There exists a serious bug causing the game to fail login: When starting the game, it prompts for expired anti-cheat software. However, after downloading the latest anti-cheat software, the game automatically updates to an older version of the anti-cheat software, resulting in inability to log in due to outdated anti-cheat software version. This issue has occurred among all Chinese players at least.58Views0likes0CommentsGeForce Now support
GeForce Now supports WRC games from 4 to 10 and Generations and Asseto Corsa Rally. I use a Logitech G29 wheel and it works very good (no visible delay). I can set detail level to ultra in any game and play in 2K, so it's a very big plus compared to playing on my Radeon 780M card and EA WRC 24. I play on Quest 3 using Virtual Desktop and the screen is as big as I want which is very nice for rally games. It would be nice to have EA WRC 24 access in GeForce Now to play the same way on ultra settings.147Views0likes0CommentsWRC - XBOX - time trial data not showing in Racenet
Hi. Does anyone have a fix for this? My stage times are showing in the leaderboard when I scroll through and find them but they are not showing in the top section when I select the stage. Have used in the past to analyse stages but now I can't do it - it treats it like any other stage I don't have a registered time for - "no game data, select a comparison". Yes I am logged into the correct account. I recently installed WRC on my ps5, would this have stuffed it up? I have de-linked my PSN account from EA and still no luck. Ghost data still works when I run this stage.60Views0likes0CommentsNationality missing
Hi, So I downloaded this game today via PS Plus, started creating a profile and to my surprise my nationality was missing! There are literally every nationality I could think of including some that are not really ethnic groups in this game, by my lovely nationality is missing. It's almost like it was intentionally left out. I'm Macedonian by the way. Is this something that can be fixed? Best regards, AT58Views0likes0CommentsRally school lessions
In rally school. Lession 2,3 and 4 so far have issues on the snow maps where randomly time get added. Lession 2 it happens right at the start. Lession 3 when you break and come to stop timer add 4-5 seconds after car is fully stopped. Example stop at 11 and it will say 17 aka fail. Lession 4 if I remember right happens right after a turn it reset you and add 35 points101Views0likes0CommentsCar performance doesn't make sense in this game
Why is the Citroen C4 WRC 320bhp when WRC cars were limited to 300bhp in that era. Same with the Focus WRC, Seat Cordboa WRC and Mini Cooper WRC being 315bhp. And WRC2 the Skoda Fabia RS Evo2 is 300bhp, Fiesta Rally 2, Hyundai i20 Rally2 are 290bp when WRC2 is limited to 280bhp, no? I know this game is dead for EA but I wish they'd fix some of the errors.125Views0likes0CommentsWRC 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!!!74Views0likes0Comments
