F1 25 Crashing (ANTI-CHEAT)

Hey all,

I’ve been stuck with this crash that began today and I’m out of ideas. Hoping someone else has hit the same issue:

  • Error log (Event Viewer, Windows 11):
    • Source: Application
    • EAAntiCheatService
    • The game f1_25.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005
  • What I’ve already tried:
    • Verified game files (Steam)
    • Reinstalled EA AntiCheat
    • Clean GPU driver install with DDU (just last week)
    • Disabled all overlays (Steam, Discord, NVIDIA, MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner, etc.)
    • Closed RGB/control apps (Corsair iCUE, Armoury Crate, etc.)
    • Cleared EA App cache
    • Disabled Windows Core Isolation (Memory Integrity)
    • Reinstalled latest Visual C++ runtimes (x86 + x64, 2015–2022)
    • Tried without XMP/EXPO
  • System:
    • Windows 11 Pro 23H2
    • RX 7800XT, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
    • Steam version of the game

Issue:
Every time I launch F1 25, the game dies instantly with EA AntiCheat logging 0xC0000005. No other errors show in Event Viewer except the AntiCheat entry.

At this point I’m thinking it’s either a deeper EA AntiCheat conflict, or something specific to my system config. Has anyone else run into this exact crash recently? Any hidden fixes I’ve missed?

Thanks in advance 🙏

    SOLVED

    Ok wow this fixed it. Go here: Settings > Windows Update > Update History > Scroll down to bottom > Uninstall Updates > Uninstall the latest updates. I uninstalled KB5064401, KB5064081, and one more I forgot the name but essentially the most recent updates within the past 2 weeks. Let it uninstall them all and then restart and it should work for you.

    Unfortunately, I've tried that one too. From running the anti cheat installer and the anti cheat launcher as admin as well as the game itself. Appreciate the idea though :(

    One last thing to try if you haven’t already is to run the game as an administrator.

    F1 25 on steam keeps crashing and everytime I verify my files after starting it once, it always mentions that it failed to verify 3 files. It starts off by loading the anti cheat and showing the splash but after a brief period it crashes. 

    I've tried everything, from reinstalling the anti cheat service, reinstalling the game, disabling all services besides the anti cheat and steam, reinstalling the game itself, and reinstalling windows. None of them have worked and they all show the same result. I can't even post an error code from the game itself because it just doesn't get to that point. 

    Please let me know if anyone has found a consistent fix for this.
