F1 23 Fully resets everything every time the game launches

Having an issue with F1 23 whenever I launch the game. Every single time the game starts I have to go through all of the EA license agreements and agree to them all again before I can even hit the main menu. After this, I checked my settings and all my configurations for simulation settings, difficulties, wheel/controller configs etc. are all back to the default. I even recently started a MyTeam save which I had only finished the Bahrain race and that save just does not exist now that I have opened the game the day after.

Has anyone encountered this issue before and have any idea what a fix would be?

    Hey @WeeksyHD 

    That's weird. In which platform are you playing? If you're on PC, do you have any antivirus or firewall that might be deleting your files?

    Hey,

    Yes, I am on PC. I just have standard Windows Firewall and no other 3rd party application/antivirus/firewall.

    Please check you do not have Controlled Folder Access enabled.

    Does the game access online services correctly?

    Also are you EA or Steam please?

    @SteveJackson Yeah it accesses online fine, I have been able to play a two-player career mode with a friend that they hosted. I am on Steam

    @SteveJackson Steam is installed on my C: Drive but my game is installed on a different drive and yes I am not using a VM and running the game on my base system.

    Would be interesting if you installed the game to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common and the problem went away. 

    I can’t help but feel this is an issue with either AV or the install path (both should be feasible/possible) but you won’t know for sure until you try either/both scenarios.
