F1 25 - Instant crash at gamestart

I have the same issue. Believe it's because of the EA Javelin Anti Cheat

does it have a pop up message saying "error reading data, please check the integrity of the game cache"?, because i had the same issue

Mine just instantly closes after the anti cheat software loading screen emerges

The only way is: starting de pc without the Internet and play the game offline 

Same thing here, I can't play the game. After starting, the game freezes on the main menu and crashes. I have the standard version and EA App. Reinstalled the game and still same issue. Very bad launch EA!! I'm on Windows 10 Pro, RTX 4090, i9 13900k, 64GB Ram, SSD

Vinibenz​: you're right. without internet connection it works. It seems, EAs data collector servers appear to be overloaded.  EDIT2: just crashed again, without internet connection too... I think it's caused by EA Anticheat Virus....

I have the issue aswell. Since prelaunch day. Updated everything anyone told me to and nothing helped. Idk what to do. EA Support is not helpfull. And in the forum no one has any clue what the problem could be, so. I hoped for a patch on the main release but nothing.

without internet connection it works but when I try to open the options menu then it crashes. Main Menu and Ingame!!!

Exact same issue, just as the anti-cheat loading screen ends the game closes. Tried a ton of solutions (seems like this has been an issue with F1 24 as well), nothing really worked

In career mode I finally get to my first practice after trying for two days and it crashes before practice session loads. Tried  repair under the manage tab on the EA app, but same thing. I’m running a high end dedicated gaming PC that literally has nothing else on it. I just want to drive at least for a few minutes before it crashes but can’t even get into the car!!! Get it together EA and communicate to all of us who spent a ton of money for this hyped up game!

any solutions guys?
