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.

    Hey gosha2012ko​, 

    Thanks for sharing all of those details, and I’m sorry you’ve had such a frustrating time trying to get F1 25 to launch.

    From what you’ve described, this does not sound like a simple install or verification issue, especially since you’ve already tried the usual troubleshooting steps. The crash happening right after EA Javelin AntiCheat starts is useful information, and we’ll pass this along to the F1 25 and EA Javelin teams for further investigation.

    To help with the investigation, could you please share a DxDiag?

    Thanks again for the detailed report.

    Is there any update on this please. Been having the exact same issues for weeks (F125 and WRC) and even a full clean windows reinstall has done nothing.
