Community ManagerIf those files will not validate, your best best may be to fully uninstall and reinstall the game.
Those files would then be replaced with "fresh" ones.
Thanks.
Hi Barry. I’ve been having the same issue, except instead of a black screen the game just crashes/closes without any warning or error code. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Before launching the game I check that all game files have installed correctly. They have, all 3000+. Open up the game, being on the menu is fine. However, between 2-10 minutes into gameplay (time trail/Grand Prix mode) and it crashes again. I checked the integrity of the games files and it says that 3 files failed to validate correctly. And repeat.
any help would be appreciated.
thank you
Im having the same issue, any fix available ?
same issue here, jsut created a thread about it. in my case it is the anti cheat. in event viewer you can see the details. in my case it is failed to obtain origin directory for the ant cheat service. check like this i know i am not alone in this. it happens every single time i play.
@mainseeker1486 The most common solution has been to reinstall the game. For some reason the 3 files become corrupted, but when steam attempts to validate them, it doesn't view them as corrupted and therefore does not repair them correctly.
Hi barry,
Please spare some time to look deeper into this whenever possible,
I too have this 3 files failed to validate problem and on scanning the internet have noticed alot of others do too.
Having gone through pretty much the entire checklist of maybe solutions nothing has worked.
Is it beyond the realms of possibility ea could provide a patch, anything to deal with it or is there a compatibility problem between steam and ea games that a workaround hasn't yet been figured out about?
I will keep the game installed in good faith that ea will provide a fix for this in good time,
Steam claim zero responsibility and suggest that ea are the only port of call for a fix.
Good man, and happy new 2025!
@Jam716uk @SR_Comrade @dffba0a2971f92d8 @Curtis2201 If any of you are prepared to post video of this issue and a dxdiag then I can perhaps add some pointers.
- @EA_Barry not working. the game is broken both with the 3 files and the anticheat causing the game to crash

Still never witnessed it to see exactly what is going on.
the same happens to me, I've tried everything, I don't know why, but FC25 opens normally, F1 24 doesn't load, as they are games from the same company
