Hey guys,
I have EA WRC on Steam and about 4 days ago I have been unable to connect to my online account after game launches. See attached screen shot. It just stays on this screen trying to connect. I can hit escape and play the game in offline mode, but I want to be able to post and compare my times as well as participate in leagues and do the "Moments" content. Since this started happening I have spoken with 4 separate EA support staff and gone through the following troubleshooting steps:
- Restart Router
- Restart PC
- Verify Game files
- Uninstall/Reinstall Game
- Uninstall/Reinstall/Update/Repair EA Anti-cheat and ensure it's running in background after launching game
- Flush DNS
- Manually set DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
- Manually disable all non-essential Microsoft apps on startup through task manager and sysconfig
- Completely uninstalled all 3rd party anti-virus (McAffee)
None of these steps have worked. I'm running latest Windows 11 service pack (non-beta). I have nearly 100 hours in this game and have never run into this issue before. I am able to play other titles like Call of Duty BO6 online without issue. I have fiber optic internet (1000 mbps download, 150 upload) and am using a Linksys Velop Mesh wireless system to connect on a 5 ghz channel with no noise from neighbors. I am truly at a loss and don't know what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
