The Livery MOD still works in Europe, but it no longer works in Japan.
Does the Japanese Steam EA Sports WRC have a specification that doesn't allow the Livery MOD?
Or is there something else preventing the MOD from working?
After this patch the VR mode don´t work with OpenXR Toolkit anymore. After I click the " CONFIRM " button to access to VR mode then game and my Quest 3 freezes. Quest 3 headroom drops down to -560% and fps 0-12.
Can play without OpenXR Toolkit but unfortunately the game doesn´t allow to change the world scale. Default cockpit size is not realistic ( a bit small ) and also colors etc was much easier to tweak in OpenXR Toolkit. Yes it wasn´t work without -force, -dx11 command but still.
its been a month of nothing but complaints on this game not running or crashing and radio silence from ea besides run as admin, or reinstall it just for funsies. when is the next patch going to come out so people can play the game they payed for? Or how about release a downgrade so people can go back to a game that actually worked
Exactly.
I shouldn't have to reinstall the game, move it to a different drive, clean this or that, do a rain dance, just to accommodate a crappy patch / crappy work around.
The game worked fine on my computer since launch. I have 160 hrs on the game. Now splash screen loads...and then nothing. I suspect it has to do with the anti cheat stuff that was in the update?
EA - please patch your game ASAP.

Same for me, as said before.
Unfortunately as expected we can see there are no answers and no interest to solve this anticheat debacle at least for the Single Player Mode.
The cheaters are the minority and no real problem for the game which is mainly focused on single player. You / We could see some cheaters in the leaderboards but who cares.
BTW this does not change with EA Anticheat.
The focus of the Devs should have been on quality and performance updates instead of introducing a kernel level anticheat.
Well said mate.
As we can see EA is not interested to solve this problem coz they dont see any.
We customers are not important.
New content like the useless liveries or driver suits are the main focus.
But i will not list off everything whats wrong and this will nothing change.
I dont care anymore coz i have other simulations which i can play.
EA just dont realize that they betray lot of rally fans and at the end their money source.....
The day will maybe come but then its too late.
And i guess that the big laughters will be loud.....
there still seems to be cheaters on the leaderboards. so not only did they break the game, they failed to even get rid of the cheaters.
It's ridiculous for a game developer to act like this. Obviously they don't care about us gamers.
I just can help myself thinking which idiot thought "he let's do a kernel level anti cheat, which is going to give a lot problems, but what the heck let's do it any way"
And then all those idiots who tested and signed of on it. Unbelievable and not even a "we are looking into it" and a "this is being investigated and will be solved next patch"
I don't care about leaderboards and cheaters. I just want to play single player off line, which i paid for.
Anti-cheat is absolutely necessary
The EA Sports WRC team is right in introducing anti-cheat and aiming to become an eSport.
Cheating is already rampant in EA Sports WRC, and it would be even worse without anti-cheat.
Multiplayer only accounts for around 3% of the total, but at the same time, the proportion of multiplayer is high among heavy users who play for over 1000 hours. In other words, it is the heavy users who play for a long time and spread the appeal of this game on social media.
And in order to become an eSport, anti-cheat must be implemented at a minimum, even if the functions are not sufficient.
Of course, anti-cheat must be functioning and cheaters must be completely eliminated.
The multiplayer population is small, but the community is strong, and games that do not even introduce anti-cheat will be excluded from the community and will be thoroughly ridiculed and attacked on social media.
The EA Sports WRC team needs to understand and improve the phenomenon where the game crashes even though there is no cheating. However, it is also true that in our community, we have had 30 people racing together in multiplayer at the same time and we have never had a single report of the game crashing due to the cheat engine.

but the leaderboards are still full of cheaters. so they've accomplished nothing except breaking the game and making a lot of people angry.
