F1 25/26 crash

Since the 2026 season update, my F1 25 game crashes for no reason, whether I'm on the home screen, in the settings menu, in career mode, or on a track—basically, constantly, and no matter where I am within fifteen minutes of launching the game. So I tried several methods to try and fix the game, such as:
- Verifying the installation files
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the game
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the EA app and Steam
- Uninstalling and reinstalling eaanticheat
- Uninstalling all drivers using the DDU method
- Updating the BIOS
- Excluding the eaanticheat and F1 25 files from the antivirus
- Resetting the Hardware folder in "My Documents/mygames/F1 25"
- Running the game as administrator
- Lowering the graphics settings by disabling the DLSS option. At this point, I've run out of ideas and searched the forums, and despite all this, my game still crashes.

PS: i have the game on EA app and Steam , and i have the same problem

    I tried all the same things as you, then I tried adjusting the minimum and maximum on my Virtual Ram. The minimum I set to 1.5x and the max to 3x. It's only been 24 hours, but so far it's working.

    Hey there,

    I'm sorry to hear your game is crashing and you are not able to enjoy it.

    Can you share your report code with us?

    After trying so many troubleshooting steps, it would be useful to have the report code to try to understand where these crashes are coming from.

    Run a RAM test. I used MemTest86 (it's built into my BIOS). When my RAM frequency was too high, the game would crash (dropping to the desktop) and the RAM test would show errors. After lowering the RAM frequency, MemTest86 showed no errors and the game runs fine.

    I'm having the same issue since the 6/29 update. I've tried the same things and it's still crashing. When I go back into the game after, I've lost all my save files and the game acts as if it's my first time playing the game.  Incredibly frustrating.
