F1 25 Not launching on steam

After starting the game it opens the splash screen. after a bit, the splash screen closes the game doesn't load and instead just opens a windows that says "error 0x00000003". (I dont always get the error code)

 And IF the game opens (only happened twice since i bought it 3 days ago) it gives me an error saying: "EA Javelin Anticheat has detected an unacceptable configuration. Please ensure no cheat-related or tampering software is active and restart the game. (95)" And i cant play anything online as it says ingame that It cant connect to online servers.

On top of that, when i try to verify file integrity in Steam, it says 3 files are missing and reacquires them. When i relaunch the game after verifying files the same splash screen issue occurs. Then i verify the files again and 3 files are missing AGAIN (Literally a continuous loop)

Also, The game doesn't show up in my EA app library even though i have my steam account connected to my EA account.

I tried literally everything I've seen online and nothing fixes it. I even contacted EA support AND steam support and none of them were able to help me.

Looks like this issue has been happening for at least 7 months from what I've seen online (even in f1 23 and f1 24). And EA still hasn't tried fixing it.

Please work on this issue so we can play the game we paid for.

    Their anti-cheat doesn't get along with a lot of programs so I would first make sure you don't have any of the following running when you try to launch the game.

    • AutoHotkey
    • DS4Windows
    • iCUE
    • JoyToKey
    • Keys2XInput
    • Reshade
    • Windhawk
    • MSI Gaming Intelligence
    • Steelseries GG
    • Daemon Tools
    • THX Spatial
    • AntimicroX
    • Wireshark
    • Avast

    If none of the above apply to you I would reinstall the game. For whatever reason when the three files become corrupted, steam doesn't detect that they are corrupted so attempting to validate them doesn't work.

    If that still doesn't get it working I would try updating your motherboard BIOs as older firmware can also trigger the anti-cheat since it doesn't recognize it.

     

    Also, The game doesn't show up in my EA app library even though i have my steam account connected to my EA account.

    None of the F1 games show up on both platforms even if the accounts are linked. I don't believe they've ever offered an explanation but at this point I would assume it's intended.
