F1 25 does not launch — EA Javelin Event ID 1000 / 0xC0000005 / Windows 11 25H2
Hello,
I cannot launch F1 25 on PC through Steam / EA Play. The game does not reach the main menu.
Launch flow:
Steam starts the game → EA App opens → EA Javelin AntiCheat starts → F1 25 closes/crashes.
Event Viewer shows:
EA Javelin Anticheat
Event ID: 1000
f1_25.exe exited unexpectedly
Code: 0xC0000005
System:
Windows 11 Pro 25H2
Build: 26200.8737
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti
NVIDIA driver: 32.0.16.1062
Steam AppID: 3059520
Secure Boot: Enabled
TPM 2.0: Present and Ready
Already tried:
- EA App reinstall
- Steam Verify Integrity
- EA AntiCheat / EA Javelin repair
- Secure Boot / TPM check
- NVIDIA Overlay / FrameView disabled
- FACEIT Anti-Cheat fully removed
- Checked other anti-cheat services/drivers
- VC++ Redistributables checked
- Recent Windows updates removed and tested
- Memory Integrity / HVCI disabled and tested
- Shader cache / F1 25 user folder reset
- Multiple reboots and clean launch attempts
Nothing helped.
I also contacted EA Help multiple times. The chats were repeatedly disconnected by timeout, and I was asked basic scripted questions despite already providing diagnostics, DxDiag, and Event Viewer details.
This does not look like a normal installation issue. It looks like an EA Javelin AntiCheat compatibility/crash issue on Windows 11 25H2 / build 26200.
Please escalate this to the EA Javelin / F1 25 technical team.
If anyone has the same issue or found a working fix, please reply here.
