WRC Steam Not Launch
Bought the game today on Steam. Bought from Steam. Game installed. I click on start game on steam. The green button turns blue for 5-8secondds then it goes back to start. It's like the game launc...
i found a fix to this issue underneath the steam page on the game saying to delete windows update KB5045594 it worked for me game innstantly opened although it took a minute to load in to delete the update go into windows settings and go Update and Security. click on windows updates then look for "View update History" click on it and at the top it should say "Uninstall update" click on this it should open a new app at the top right it should say search for update click on it and copy and paste KB5045594 than uninstall this restart your pc and it should work
After 2 days of searching and trying 10+ fixes this is the only thing that let me load in. Thank you, EA FIX your game why does windows update KB5045594 Installed on 10/24/24 make your game unplayable with no mention of this ??
On Windows 11, uninstalling the KB50xxx does not do it for me, as that's for Win10 only.
What did make the game run was renaming the OpenXR folder to anything else (within the steamapps/common/EA SPORTS WRC/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty)
HOWEVER, I want to play it in VR, and I think that if that folder is renamed, then the VR option does not appear. Restoring the folder's name to OpenXR brings the problem back, and the game does not start even if I have the Meta Quest3 being used.
Is there a solution to get this working in VR?
