A continuation of the thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/EA-WRC-not-starting-after-1-9-patch/td-p/13878947 - now for users on the 2.1.0 patch which came out today.
Again, WRC fails to launch on its second and subsequent boots after a fresh install.
The workaround still seems to be deleting all files EXCEPT the Config folder from AppData\Local\WRC\Saved.
Unfortunately this does not seem to be a consistent fix for everyone.
Keen to know how many other people are still suffering from this issue since the previous patch and if the above workaround actually works for them (including if they're on the Steam or EA App version).
Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:PC (Steam)
Summarize your bug Update 2.1.0 - the game does not launch, it gets to the second splash screen, and fails.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) - unless the USHADERPRECACHE and UPIPELINECACHE files are deleted from AppData/Local/WRC/Saved
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Update the game from v1.9.0 to 2.1.0, then launch from Steam. From a fresh install, close the game and attempt to relaunch it, which triggers the bug.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game fails to launch.

I can't play. What a disaster.
I just asked for a refund for the expansion 24 pack, they removed the addon and it's back to normal. For now it's the only solution, at least you can play.Hi
Apparently the problem has been solved ! It works again for me now !
