EA WRC not starting after 1.9 patch
At Steam, it shows the ea wrc mini splash screen and then it just comes back to the green PLAY button again.

2 days, not hotfix.
Game is not starting. Tried everything.
Day before patch was playing perfectly.
Never had a problem with WRC, I really enjoy the game.
I'm losing all the club competitions I'm in for weeks.
I'm sad.
Make sure Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS. That's what was causing my crash
My secure boot is enabled but it crashes since 1.9.
enabled secure boot, hoping it would solve the issue....it's not for me. Game starts in menu but when you go to any rally mode it crashes back to windows

Hey there,
Thank you very much for your reports. I have escalated this to the game team, but they will need more information. Can you share your IDs in a private message?

It would appear this issue happens for most when the game is not installed on the C: drive. I have the same issue but unfortunately do not have enough space on my C: drive to move the game.
Can you advise me on a work around for this?
With a lot of time and effort i managed to free up 90Gb on my C-drive.
Reinstalled the game on my C-drive ( which is an M-2) through steam, but the game still won't start. It shows the splash screen twice and then crashes
Game still doesn't work. Only splashscreen.
Also Anticheat FAQ page still error 500.
Thought i'd link this in - SennaMental on steam community forums found that renaming the openXR folder at "\steamapps\common\EA SPORTS WRC\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty" allowed their game to start.
