F1 24 3 files failed to validate

I verified the files on steam and says 3 files failed to validate, last time I played it and it ran fine, now it doesn't start, it just shows me the splash screen and it disappears and shows a black screen (F1 24) then after a minute it closes. Can anyone please help me with this problem?

  • 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

    If 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.
