EA WRC crashes in menu - EADesktop.exe ntdll.dll 0xc0000005
Hello, I am reporting a crash issue with EA SPORTS WRC on PC through the EA App. The game was working perfectly before. I played for around 3 hours without any issues, but suddenly it started crashing after launching the game. The game starts normally, loads into the main menu, and I can navigate for around 60 seconds. After that, it closes silently to desktop without any crash report or error message. Windows Event Viewer shows: Faulting application: EADesktop.exe Faulting application: EAGEP.exe Faulting module: ntdll.dll Exception code: 0xc0000005 (Access violation) System: Platform: EA App (PC) OS: Windows 11 GPU: NVIDIA EA App version: 13.743.0.6256 Troubleshooting already performed: Repaired game files through EA App Completely reinstalled EA App Reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat Cleared EA App cache Clean installed NVIDIA graphics drivers Ran DISM and SFC system repairs Tested RAM with MemTest86 (no errors found) Created a new Windows administrator account Tested with Exploit Protection changes The issue remains unchanged. I have also found other recent reports from users experiencing similar behaviour: the game works normally, then suddenly starts crashing shortly after entering the main menu. Could this be related to EA App, EA Anti-Cheat, or a recent compatibility issue? Thank you.EA SPORTS WRC will not launch - Javelin Anticheat Error 87
EA SPORTS WRC will not launch - Javelin Anticheat Error 87 / Invalid game directory Game: EA SPORTS WRC (PC, EA App) Computer name: VENGEANCE OS: Windows 11 Summary: WRC fails to launch every time. Event Viewer (Application log) logs an EA Javelin Anticheat error (Event ID 1000) each attempt: "The game wrc.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x1." Most recently, the EA App itself also returned a generic error: "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." Troubleshooting already completed (no change in behavior): - Repaired the game via EA App (My Collection > WRC > Repair) - Ran EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe from both C:\Program Files\EA\AC\ and the game's own bundled installer folder - both give "Invalid game directory" when selecting Repair, even when pointing to the correct install path (C:\Program Files\EA Games\EA SPORTS WRC) - Manually starting the EAAntiCheatService in services.msc fails with "Error 87: The parameter is incorrect" - Deleted and recreated the EAAntiCheatService via sc delete / sc create, pointing to EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe - no change - Ran sc query EAAntiCheatService to confirm the service exists (STOPPED, WIN32_EXIT_CODE 0) - Ran sfc /scannow - no integrity violations found - Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - completed, no change - Ran fsutil resource setautoreset true C: and rebooted - no change - Confirmed DNS resolves gateway.ea.com correctly (tested via 8.8.8.8 after finding ISP DNS was timing out; switched system DNS to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 - no change to the anticheat error) - Verified no third-party antivirus is installed (Windows Defender only) - Temporarily disabled Core Isolation / Memory Integrity - no change - Checked Reliability Monitor - no critical events logged for the crash - Checked %localappdata%\WRC\Saved\Logs\WRC.log - file is empty - Ruled out a WRC_Trial.exe file in the Win64 folder as a cause (temporarily removed it, error persisted) - Confirmed install folder structure and installerdata.xml manifest are present and intact Given that Windows-level checks (SFC, DISM, service registration) all come back clean and the anticheat installer consistently rejects the correct install directory as invalid, I believe this may require backend access to my account/entitlement or install-token data to diagnose further. Could you please investigate on your end? Thank you for your help.
Game not loading
i just downloaded wrc yesterday and it has refused to open. keeps saying file needs repairing and when i select repair it still wont load and give the same error. First time round i got an issue of anticheat which i manually downloaded, But still it has refused to load. Its been less than 24 hours since i launched the game but i cannot request a refund for the game and cannot play it either.Racenet App Clubs SSL Error
In the EA Racenet app for the past few days, when trying to access results from a WRC club, I get the following error: Something went wrong! SSL error: The certificate authority is not trusted It looks like we can't reach our servers Please check your internet connection. Hitting the Try Again button brings up the same error. My connection is fine. I am able to access the club results via desktop browsing.WRC - XBOX - time trial data not showing in Racenet
Hi. Does anyone have a fix for this? My stage times are showing in the leaderboard when I scroll through and find them but they are not showing in the top section when I select the stage. Have used in the past to analyse stages but now I can't do it - it treats it like any other stage I don't have a registered time for - "no game data, select a comparison". Yes I am logged into the correct account. I recently installed WRC on my ps5, would this have stuffed it up? I have de-linked my PSN account from EA and still no luck. Ghost data still works when I run this stage.
WRC won't start, need to "activate"
I haven't been able to start WRC for over two months now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the EA App, WRC, the "anti-cheat" files as recommended with no success. I would get the error message that says, Yesterday, after about twp weeks of not trying, I tried again and get this error: I am definitely signed into my EA account on the EA App and launch it from there, and this error box gives me no options to "activate" the game??? This is VERY frustrating that regardless of what I try, I cannot get the game to run. HELP!!!
