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.

1.9 After update game does not start after splash screen / STEAM
Win10 x64 / STEAM / RTX3070 / Ryzen 5 5600x / 16gb RAM
Since the 1.9 update, launching the game via steam results in the EA Splash Screen fully loading, then the ea service closes and WRC itself doesn't start. The button in steam goes back to "play".
Tried running both steam aswell as all EA and WRC executables as admin. Did a clean install, windows integrity check, tried disabling firewalls, enabled secure boot in bios, de- and reinstalled EA Anticheat with admin rights, added exceptions to windows defender and updated drivers as well as windows OS.
Game worked fine the day before the update and no hard or software changes have been made. no programs running in the background except for steam.
EDIT:
For some reason relocating the game install via steam to my windows drive C: solved the problem (which is a shame because I don't really have 90gb to spare on this drive). I noticed that the launcher would install the main body of the anticheat on C:/Programms/EA/AC even if I manually installed the anticheat, so I relocated my game files to C: also. Don't know if this is the cause for the issue or intended, but keeping this up so others can see. Try having the game installed on the same drive/partition as EA anticheat.
