Ideas
I also have problem mentioned earlier. Game was working fine after release but after one of updates (anti-cheat addition for example) it turns off / crashes after "WRC screen with loading bar" .
My PC spec:
WINDOWS 10 (with all current updates, same with drivers for GPU)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50 GHz / GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / 16 GB RAM /
Game is installed on SSD Samsung 870 EVO 4TB.
I'm not sure if CPU (without TPM) is the main problem but like I mentioned in past I could turn on game and play short stages without any problems (no graphics glitches).
I paid full price for game and all DLCs so I expect detailed info from EA how to fix (or info which apps may be in conflict with anti-cheat). So far I did file checker and still nothing... maybe later I will try to perform clean boot. I may sound rude but I did not break my game (it worked), there was no DEMO or trial to test performance of EA WRC, plus finding help from oficial support was not easy (overall I feel that I'm leaved with problem for myself). BTW - if game was bought on steam, shouldn't it will be also visible in EA APP like Need for Speed games?
