    Thank you. Here are some suggestions. Launch the game after performing each step to see if it helped.

    • Repair EA AntiCheat. Go to F1 25\__Installer\EAAntiCheat and run EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe. Uninstall, AntiCheat then reisntall it and restart. Then, try launching the game again.


    Perform a Clean Boot of windows and temporarily disable the following:

    • Voicemod
    • OBS
    • Streamlabs
    • MSI Center
    • MSI Afterburner
    • RivaTuner Statistics Server
    • Discord overlay
    • GeForce overlay
    • Overwolf
    • RGB software


    Repair the game files by opening the EA App and going to Library > F1 25 > Manage > Repair

    Clear the F1 25 settings. Go to Documents\My Games\F1 25 and rename this folder to F1 25_Backup and launch the game again.

    Let me know what happens. Thanks!

Quick update: I uninstalled MSI Center and Voicemod, rebooted my PC and reinstalled F1 25. The game is now launching correctly again. I can reach the main menu, load into a race session and drive without crashing. I will continue testing, but so far the issue appears to be resolved. Do you recommend contunuing to test for few days before reinstalling MSI Center and Voicemod? Also, since the game is now working correctly, would you recommend reinstalling the Season Pack? Thank you.

    You're welcome to try installing MSI Center and Voicemod again, but most likely, you'll get the original issue again with crashing.

    You can try reinstalling the Season Pack. Just let me know if you have any issues.
