Optiscaler should be whitelisted by EA AntiCheat

As stated above, imo Optiscaler should be whitelisted by EA AntiCheat, just as they did with RTSS.
As there seemingly won't be any updates to the game's upscalers (DLSS, FSR) from EA/Codemasters, using Optiscaler would greatly help with the constant shimmering of the road surface and other fine details if we were able to switch upscalers and or upscaler versions via the programme.

With Optiscaler it would be possible to use the latest DLSS4, FSR 3.1.3 or XeSS 2 which would greatly improve image quality and stability. Unfortunately as of now, EA AntiCheat blocks access to Optiscaler.

Optiscaler works great in other Unreal Engine 4 titles, such as Assetto Corsa Competizione, which is heavily multiplayer-focused and does allow Optiscaler to be used without issues.

 So it would be great if EA could whitelist that application for EA WRC. It is completely open source (https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler) and it is only about visuals after all, so I don't think it should be blocked by EA AntiCheat.
