Game just doesn't start

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Game doesn't start.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? RTX2080 Super. Windows 11.32GB RAM. No TPM (older PC, Eearly Core i7 generation). Game is stored on Drive F: (not C🙂.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I click play in Steam I see there is a short cloud sync, some seconds wai and then it says "play time 1min" and the button turns again to "PLAY". Same with executing the EXE. Something seems to be executed in the background. No black screen. Nothing.
What do you expect to see? WRC 2023

‌

I have no problems running DIRT1-4 Rallye or previous WRC games (including WRC Generations)

Please tell me where to find logs or how to enable debug flags (I'm a linux developer, Windows is something I know from my youth and really don'Tt want to have something to do with)

the problem is that ea sports did not specified that this game needs a cpu with AVX instructions. i can play wrc gens, but not ea sports wrc, until ea sports patch the game to run without AVX Instruction no body in this situation will play the game, the solution is a patch from ea sports or buy a new pc.

Do you have OpenXR Toolkit enabled? If so try disabling it. Although the game should launch in VR with it enabled, it is known to cause crashes. For some reason it doen't detect your headset. Try also with Steam VR as the active runtime. First launch Steam VR and then the game.
