Description: The game passes the Javelin Anti-Cheat screen, shows the "Launching Game" message, and then closes back to the EA App without any error code. My FC 25 is working perfectly on Ultra settings, confirming the hardware and drivers are stable. The issue is exclusive to F1 25.
System Specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop (Driver 595.97)
CPU: Intel Core i9/i7 14th/15th Gen
OS: Windows 11 (Latest build)
Laptop Model: Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2026)
Troubleshooting steps taken (None of these worked):
EA Anti-Cheat Management:
Reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat using EAanticheat.Installer.exe specifically for F1 25.
Repaired the service and set EAAntiCheatService to "Automatic" in Windows Services.
Cleared EA App cache (App Recovery).
Deleted EAAntiCheat.Sys to force a clean driver regeneration.
Windows Security & Permissions:
Set both F1_25.exe and EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe to "Run as Administrator."
Manually installed Digital Signature certificates into "Trusted Root Certification Authorities."
Disabled Memory Integrity (Core Isolation) and Control Flow Guard (CFG) for the game executable.
Verified Secure Boot is ENABLED in BIOS.
Graphics & System Tweaks:
Disabled Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS).
Attempted launch arguments: -windowed, -noborder, -dx12, and -novid.
Disabled NVIDIA In-Game Overlay and Shader Cache.
Cleaned Documents/My Games (though the game fails before even creating the folder).
Conflict Resolution:
Disabled Nahimic, SteelSeries GG, and Riot Vanguard services.
Updated Intel Smart Sound drivers (DPC Latency fix).
Disconnected all peripherals (controllers/wheels), launching only with the laptop keyboard.
Conclusion: Since other EA titles (FC 25) work flawlessly, this appears to be a kernel-level conflict between the EGO Engine and the new RTX 50 series architecture. Please investigate if a compatibility hotfix is required for these new GPUs.
