We did this on my sons computer (windows 10) and still the game will not start.
- updated nvidia drivers…May 21 version 555.85
- deleted hardware settings
- verified files…Steam downloaded 25.3MB
- started game via steam
- F1 24 logo appeared
- admin promote for ea anti cheat. Entered asmin password
- logo still displayed
- blank screen
- back to desktop
- steam says game is not running
F1 23 still works fine.
is there any other troubleshooting you would like us to try and help you determine the cause?
EDIT....attached output from DXDIAG
thank you….brian (trying to calm a very frustrated son)

@briano19399 Hey, really sorry for your experience here. Can you try updating G Hub? It says you've got a Logitech Wheel in the DXdiag you supplied and there's a known issue for Logitech G Hub versions older then 2024.4. Yes, we installed the latest G-Hub...version 2023.10. It didn't make any difference.
Edit: Originally we have 2023.1. G-Hub said there was an update and it installed 2023.10.
I checked G-Hub again, and now it says another update is available. This time it installed 2024.3.
But, the game still won't start ☹️
- @cdm_slumbdog I personally have updated my Logitech GHub and that hasn't changed anything. and in this case i'm personally attempting to run the game using only am Xbox controller plugged in.
i've managed to create a windows error reporting (WER) process dump of the crashing F1_24.exe process - would that be of any assistance? - @cdm_slumbdog why do you keep saying 2024.4 .. the latest is 2024.3.3733.0 so I don't know where are you coming up with 2024.4?

@evil_mercenary Yes! How big is the dump? - cdm_slumbdog9 months ago

@Karlo3110 Logitech have released a new update that is rolling out this week. If it isn't showing in the "check for updates" in the settings then it hasn't yet reached your region. I am sorry if that's the case. It will only affect users of Logitech wheels. If that matches your experience then a fix is on its way. If it's not related to Logitech wheels then I am still interested in helping.
Cheers - @cdm_slumbdog I use fanatec
- @cdm_slumbdog the dump itself is a windows "minidump" but it's about 888MB, i suspect due to the size of the original EXE.
it's still 516MB when compressed into a zip file. but I could potentially upload to google drive for you, unless you've a preferred location? i suspect that the forum file size limit may not be that big.
additionally, if there's a troubleshooting call possible on discord or something (as mentioned by one of the other users), then i'd certainly be interested to assist in the troubleshooting. i've something of a technical background myself and may be able to assist. - @evil_mercenary I have made a discord https://discord.gg/J9pbc2tvqk just for this troubleshooting. If we all find a solution we can post it here for others to see. Or if anyone is interested in helping feel free to join us!
If I try to start the EAAntiCheatService manually I get the Error 87.
F1 23 and F1 24 both make problems if you try to start.
I'm close to the simplest solution to quit EA Sub. and EA Games.
- @Karlo3110 joined - at the very least text chat there is quicker.
but i'll still try to keep an eye on this thread too - cdm_slumbdog9 months ago

Are you willing to share a GDrive link or similar? That would be really helpful.
Obviously we haven't seen this issue in dev otherwise we would have fixed it - so this is super helpful for us and we are very grateful for you and others in the thread collating and sharing your experiences so we can try and find out what the commonality is and get a 100% reproduction and then a fix.
@cdm_slumbdogwould be great if we got someone that has the game working on their pc join us so that we can myb transfer AC files from working one to non working one. If it works then we can confirm some cached files were left from steam download or something. I will try cleaning up steam cache as well + install fifa 23 and try seing if it runs the ac on it and if it sees the directory thingy after fifa install since both games use same ac but diff config ofc
- @cdm_slumbdog Please see the reply I made just before your previous reply - the drive link is available there.
I'm also experiencing this issue, I've also reset my Windows 11 OS to a complete fresh copy in the last 24 hrs.
At current I've only installed the following:
Steam
EA App
Brave Browser
AMD Adrenaline latest Graphics Drivers
Only things connected to the PC are the Keyboard and Mouse to prevent anything getting in the way.
DxDiag attached.
F1 24 hardwaresettings folder is empty- cdm_slumbdog9 months ago

Looking at the available telemetry we have, I know that EAAC is not the cause of the issue - I've spoken to the team to check.
For launch issues, if we can rule out Logitech wheels, or missing Steam files then we can move to understand what it is about the specific PC setup that is causing the game to fail to launch.
I've got the DXDiags so I'm going to dig in for commonalities. If you folks are chatting together and have any insight on what is the same on the machines that aren't launching, and you can reach out to others who are having success and find a differentiator then we appreciate it greatly.
We are really invested in folks having a great experience and we didn't see this issue before we launched, so identifying what's changed - even if it's seemingly unrelated, like a Windows or other software update will help us. Even knowing the version of Discord you're using etc can help.If anyone does get the game up long enough to have a "running" file created that has a report code which can be useful -
- The file is created in the game directory, accessible via right-click on the game in Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files (or EA App equivalent)
- It's called F1_24.exe.[number].running and can be opened in notepad. Send the contents.
Cheers

@unknowndark And it's still failing immediately? I'm so sorry for that experience.
Thanks for the DXDiag, I'm going to compare with others. - @cdm_slumbdog Yep, Fresh install and it still fails the same. If theres anything i can do further to get you guys any more info I'm more than happy to help.
- @cdm_slumbdog I also have this problem, but my copy comes from the EA App within EA Play Pro, so the problem is global.
F1 23 works without a problem, other games too.

What region are you in? I can check with Logitech tomorrow if it's been rolled out for you yet.
One way maybe to confirm it would fix your issue might be to uninstall the wheel and leave it unplugged, if the game boots then we know that the Logitech G Hub update will fix it. unfortunately, Logitech GHub 2024.4 hasn't made a difference in my instance, nor the others on discord

Sorry to hear that. Rules out the Logitech known issue and moves us on to other things that will take more investigation. Is anyone getting a ".running" file created. It would persist after a crash, but if it isn't making it then that tells us when in the application start up we are failing to initialise.
- @cdm_slumbdog Nope, no ".running" file created. I don't think the game even has time to "crash"
