EA WRC not starting after 1.9 patch

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.

At Steam, I click PLAY then it shows the ea wrc mini splash screen with the white progress bar being filled and then it just dissapears and comes back to the green PLAY button again at Steam.

Game was running perfectly 1 day before the patch.

I am not the only one with this problem.

I verified my files.

I reinstalled the game (90gb)

I tried starting game with admin privileges for ea anticheat and wrc exe.

Ea background service starts but not the game.

I need to go anytime and close by myself the ea anticheat exe otherwise it will be opened all day until I turn off my PC.

After last update 1.9.0, the game stop working. I bought this game before it was officially launched, and now they've added an anti-cheat, so I can't use it on Linux anymore.

Make sure Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS. That's what was causing my crash

Did a fresh re-install and start as admin...from menu immediately crashes

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

Game worked for me since day 1 with no problem.

After patch 1.9, it is not launching any more

Following your instructions, I have tried to run as Administrator, and I have made a fresh install, but the problem still remains.

RTX 4080 16Gb. Windows 10. 64 Gb RAM. i7 9700F.

EA Launcher installation, NOT the Steam one.

Before last update. On Steam, the game can't launch before Anticheat checking. 

I trying reinstall, update the system, update drivers and old versions drivers, exceuting with administrator ... but nothing works. But i trying download the game on EA App and the game works correctly.

Pls fix the problem quickly
