Re: F1 22 is stuck "Connecting to Online Services" for an indefinite amount of time

Update Sep 5: The issue has returned. The previous fix of having steam cloud disabled was not able to be used because steam cloud was already disabled. All of the other previous solution options also did not work. This time when I attempted the account swap fix, my friend could not load into the game with my account. I am contacting Steams support to see if there is an issue with my account on their end. There was a new fix, however: I was able to share my library with a different account and access the game that way.

    I had this once, just killed the .exe and it didn't return.

    However, I had updated mainboard drivers and there was some system latency introduced so I reverted.

  • Interesting. I found a new workaround where launching the game in offline mode in steam and then going back online from inside the game allows me to connect properly

  • So disabling steam cloud worked for a bit, but then that stopped working. I turned steam cloud back on and I haven't had an issue recently. It seems like the game is just inconsistent in its ability to read steam cloud saves? There's another option of sharing your steam library with a second account and playing the game that way.
