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...

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.

Community ManagerThanks 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?

Unfortunately, it's hard to pinpoint what's causing this. As we can see, according to your PC specs, the game should run smoothly. Which leads me to believe the issue is probably being caused by software or a specific configuration. With that in mind, a clean boot would be one way to rule out potential causes. Oftentimes, overlays can also cause problems. If you have any overlays enabled by other programs, such as Discord, Steam, or Nvidia, I'd suggest temporarily disabling them.
