Update 2.1.0 the game crashes to desktop at launch at the EA Logo intro

Good morning,

My problem is that the game starts, but it closes during the introduction window. I have resolved it in the following way:

go to the following path -> SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\EA SPORTS WRC\Engine\Plugins

There, you will see two folders: Runtime and Wwise.

Rename the Wwise folder; for example, I named it "Wwise-PROBLEM", and the game now opens without any issues.

I hope this can be of help to you.

Simply rename the folder

modify what in that rename it or what? i still have that EA Anitcheat wont start så game wont start i tryed everyting

And modify the file which has the name OPENXR
(you add anything afterwards)

 Sorry modify what?  Just change the file name or edit the file content?

Well, The usb method got me in the game again

well I spoke to soon, turned my pc on to get in the simulator and drive some stages, again same screen, anti cheat error, see picture. 

As posted in my own topic regarding new issues with the 2.1.6 update for some: 

So I finished a new PC build yesterday, same parts, same memory, same install as my own system. Figured it was a good base to see if the problems also came up on the new PC, so logged in to steam, downloaded and installed wrc , and voila! No issues at all.

This means the update through steam, and or a fresh install on steam does not solve this issue(on my own PC: did the update, game stopped working,reinstalled wrc, still not working). a complete new windows install was needed with fresh memory and with new wrc install fixes my reported issues. 
im no expert, but this sounds like a easy fix now for you guys at ea or codemaster.

one tip for you guys, release a new wrc25 expansion as a standalone game, seems like every tweak you make to the existing game only makes things worse for us. 

Ofcourse this is not a solution, and a very disastrous work around to get this game working, luckily I only use this pc for simulation and a complete new reinstall is fast for me, but this is complete *, there was a other possible temporary solution posted in my own topic, which consist of unplugging all usb devices, start the game , and reconnect all devices after, have not tried this as the game is now working for me again. But I feel like next patch or dlc will definitely screw things up again.
