I've already tried everything that's on the internet. I've also browsed through this forum searching for possible solutions or anything like that. Unfortunately, nothing's worked.Here's my dxdiag notepad archive.
To summarize, I click twice at the game icon or once in the game card on the Origin Library and after selecting "normal" F1 (the other option is F1 22 VR) there's a loading, the monitor goes black, which would indicate the game is loading, and return to the desktop or any other window that was opened. I've got no antivirus, Windows Firewall is deactivated, all the drivers are up to date and my PC match the minimum requirements. What could be happening? Could someone come up with a solution that hasn't yet been discussed?
From the posted dxdiag;
CPU is minimum config (equiv. FX4300) and from 2012....
GPU is also 10 years old...driver support has ceased.
GeForce Security Update Driver | 473.81 | Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 | NVIDIA
Your drivers do not meet the minimum version for the game 516.59 was the F1 22 GRD release.
You need to upgrade the GPU and realistically the CPU, meaning motherboard and RAM as well.
@SteveJackson then tell me why my brother with an 4090 and i9-13900k has the exact same problem? always blackscreen and crash on startup.

Post a dxdiag, the ninja 🙅♂️ is IN 😂
- @SteveJackson It’s not an hardware error, looks like it’s some kind of a network related problem. If he launches the game in offline mode EA App and Steam the game runs perfectly fine, as soon as he goes online again the game connects to the online services and after a few seconds it freezes. Every time the game goes online it crashes I really don’t get it.

There are so many reasons why posting the dxdiag can help to correct settings or have bugfixes implemented that will help with seemingly intractable or unrelated issues. What you're describing could be a hardware or a software error. It is uncommon. It is highly likely it is a config error or related to network hardware and settings. But correct drivers and updates to the system rule out any weirdness generally.
I still have F1 22 installed.
What I don't get from the post you've made is, is it on EA App or Steam that he's playing as they are two separate games on different storefronts/platforms. On Steam you need to be signed into a linked EA account. On EA App, you don't need Steam at all AFAIK (refunded my Origin key).
- @SteveJackson Karate chop😆
