Re: EA Sports WRC game won't start on PC

@Rohto0 

You likely just need to 'Repair' the game: 

Steam: Verify files - https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

EA app: Click Manage button and then Repair

Additional PC steps:

Thanks.

    @EA_Barry Hi Barry, I have similar issue since a few days ago where it won't go past the splash screen. Seeing other posts in this forum with the same issues. I have played daily since launch until last week.

    I have tried all of the above, it made the game not start even quicker due to EA AC error with red bar on splash screen. Turned this back on in System Configuration, rebooted and am back to original error even with clean boot.

    Steam verified and installed missing files multiple times.
    Reinstalled whole game and EAAC but nothing is working.
    No mods made to game.
    These two items are showing up in EV each time I try to start the game.
    Any ideas?

    Event Viewer:
    ERROR: The description for Event ID 1 from source Application cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

    If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

    The following information was included with the event:

    EAAntiCheatService
    Failed to obtain Origin directory


    The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table
