why wont f1 22 launch?
so, i just downloaded f1 22 on origin. when i try to start the game a black screen comes up and it crashes. help!
Forum Discussion
I see. Yet another weekend without being able to play the game that i have payed for, because EA and Codemasters are not providing any solution to the issues we have.
The game is still not launching. The black screen is all I see before the game crashes back to desktop.
- @sleepaholic I know that this is something you probably don't want to hear but the chance that the issue you are talking about has something to do with the game itself instead than your system it's less than 5% (if I could bet a thousand dollars on it, I would put it at 10 to 1).
Crashes at the start of a game are only rarely tied to the game itself and when they are you will notice it immediately as the problem will get reported immediately everywhere (as the problem for example with F1 22 itself and Steam Deck and the new W10 update). If no such wide report exists then you can almost always be sure that it's something tied to your system somewhere. @Amioram I am aware that it is very likely some specific combination of hardware + software + code + setting that is resulting in a conflict as I have also stated in my previous post (#13).
However, diving deeper into the issue I stumbled upon older threads throughout numerous EA games in this forum having a similar if not even exactly the same issue. Some of these threads are ranging years back, see for example this one in the Battlefield V forum from November 2018.
Also, I followed all the tips that @EA_Leeuw has listed in this Battlefield 2042 thread (and many more), but nothing helps.
Hence, I repeat my question once more: @EA_Atic, could you please share with us from the knowledge your developers have gathered in the past years what is causing so many of EA's games (unfortunately including F1 22) to not launch properly and to crash back to desktop after just showing a black screen? Is there anything that these games have in common during launch? Is it Denuvo interfering? Is there any setting or config that we as users can change or edit so that we might have a better chance of successfully launching the game?
PS: F1 22 is the only game I am having issues with. All other games (including previous F1 titles) launch and run without any problem.
Hi all,
I've also just installed the game via origin. Cannot launch either. Black screen. Then crash. No error message.
EA pls help!
