EA WRC not starting after 1.9 patch

I'm having the same problem. Splash screen, then nothing.

I've tried a reinstall and even removing Asus Armoury Crate as others have suggested.

I'd also like to see some kind of update on this.

This is a showstopper bug and I can't play anymore. This is the only game, out of many in my library, that can't launch.

Im another victim from this bug. Waiting for a solution...

Same problem here. Win 10, Steam. 

No I won't put this on my C: drive SSD. 

Your last "security update" spyware was enough already. Get your * together EA!

Same, just downloaded and can't start.

Treid relocating on C:, rolling back drivers.

Only thing that helps is renaming the OpenXR folder.

I, however, need VR and OpenXR specifically for motion compensation.

Will have to refund if this isn't fixed, but judging on these posts, the communication is just absent. 

+1.

Can anyone from their support, even the one located in India or whatever low cost country is used, provide any answer or feedback ? It's been months now...

Yup, same here, renaming the OpenXR folder does the trick. I have OpenXR Toolkit and OpenXR MC installed, which I need. Toolkit can be disabled, but OpenXR MC cannot be easily disabled. This really, really sucks *, because it's not possible for me to run VR on my motion rig without motion compensation.

Open XR did not fix it for me.

Support suggested to move game to another drive (originally was on C in the default folder) - AntiCheat got even worse.

Reinstalled everything on C in the correct place, back to Anticheat cannot obtain Origin folder. Installed legacy Origin client - no luck.

Went and bought the game in EA App as it is currently 14EUR.

Now when i launch the EA version game loads, connects to EA servers and crashes immediately. Support suggested trying to connect from another internet source, but as I don't have WiFi on the game PC I cannot. Stage thing was that my Steam and EA accounts are connected, but EA version did not see my profile and suggested creating new one.

I am continuing trying different ideas, but it looks i will be refunding the EA app version pretty soon as it is also unplayable but with different problem..

Still no news of a patch or anything. My game launches very sporadically now.

Sometimes it will launch, sometimes it won't. No idea why.

Absolutely disgraceful the state of this game. They have new DLC coming - why would anyone buy it when there's no guarantee they will even be able to play it?

It's clearly related to Anti-cheat since everything worked fine before patch 1.9. They need to roll the game back or disable anti-cheat for now until they can work out a fix.
