Can't connect to EA

Since two days ago I not being able to connect to EA sports server when playing WRC. 

The game crashed and an error window appeared and when I click next, a browser window opened with some information about Denuvo and I had to copy a very long text so I could open the game, but since then I'm not able to connect online. 

I have the Steam version of the game, already did this:

  • Verified game files (NOT WORKED);
  • Desinstalled and installed the entire game (NOT WORKED);
  • Installed manually the EA AntiCheat (NOT WORKED);

 

What I have to do so I can play again the game with online support, I just finished the campaign and the career mode and I want to play the moments, but without internet connection ins't possible. 

 

Thank you

    Same thing, I tried everything like you did and I'm still getting the error message. EA is complete garbage.

    Brand new computer, installed with W11. EA do something! This is unacceptable there's no reply after 10 days.

    When I launch the game I'm getting this screen:

    Under …/steamapps/common/EA Sports WRC/WRC/Binaries/Win64/

    Right click on WRC.exe, select properties, compatibility, Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8

    Do the same with the EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe

     

    Finally try relaunching the game!

    Hope this helps!

    Cannot connect to EA online either (09/11 /2025). It started after verifying files. A message popped up saying there was an issue with anti-cheat with ambiguous instructions. It connected a couple of times after but now it won't! 

    I have since reinstalled WRC and still not connecting. Tried the compatibility suggestion and nothing. It just won't connect to the EA servers and online access. EA Please fix.

    I was just able to solve this myself, hope it works for you as well! 

    Just making it easier for those of you who weren't able to find a fix for this error after trying all the other solutions you saw online. What worked for me after finding a 2 year old post, go to your install folder SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\EA SPORTS WRC\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty and rename the OpenXR folder to OpenXRback.
