I've been encountering an issue on F1 25 where the game just freezes. It stops taking inputs and this will happen for 10-15 seconds most of the time but sometimes it'll keep going onto upwards of 30 seconds. This is a rather common occurance and has been happening a lot to me lately. I'd love a fix for this since I like to do long races and the game freezes on me 5 laps in and next thing I know I'm in the barrier and got damage. My rig was the following hardware: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 3080, 64GB of DDR4. I have the game installed on a SSD and use a Moza R5 wheel base to play. I have all my overlays (discord and nvidia) turned off since I saw that was an issue that'd cause the freezes as well. Please help me fix this as soon as possible

Hey there, I'm sorry to hear the game is freezing during the race. Once it stops taking input, does the screen freeze as well, or does the game keep running and just not recognize your inputs?
The screen "freezes" but sometimes while it's frozen i'll hear my engineer go "okay we've got front wing damage" so I assume the game's still running in a way. The engine sounds keep playing as well but they're stuck on a specific rev, they're not revving down as one would assume they would if the game stops registering the input.
It just happened again. Though because I tabbed off from the game while it was happening, it ended up prompting the "F1 25.exe is unresponsive" popup, but you can still hear how the engine is still revving. It's essentially just that, the game freezes, the engine revs get stuck, I have no input (can't pause either unless I tab off and then the game auto pauses after a bit).

Thanks for the additional information. In this case, could you please try a Clean Boot and disconnect any other USB devices from the PC? This will help determine whether any background programs or connected devices might be causing this.
Sorry, but trying to do a clean boot will be a very inconvenient process for me. There are 31 services I need to uncheck, which'd mean 31 loops of clean boot, each of which will average around an hour since this freeze bug happens randomly during the race. Is there no other way to approach this?
