    Reposting your solution for player visibility, thanks.

    "

    This solution is painfully simple. Hopefully it actually solves this particular issue 100% of the time:

    1. Open the EA App

    2. Click on the burger menu on the top left of the window (the option with 3 lines). Click on "Help" then "App Recovery":

    3. A popup window will open. If it looks like EA App has frozen after clicking "App Recovery", it has not. You'll have to alt-tab to a window with the EA App icon on it, but that isn't the EA App itself:

    3. Press the "CLEAR CACHE" blue button.

    Let the app work, you'll have to log in again. After that's done, the game should be able to start.

    In my case, that meant I got the see the "Play F1 22, Play F1 22 VR" window for the first time. I've had no issues since.
    The above logs were completely different too. The first request for a license returned a "Invalid license" message, but the second request for a new license was successful.

    Hopefully this helps someone that might have the same issue."
