I might have found a "fix" for the game crash at splash screen. The Hardware_Settings_Config.xml File isn't populating the correct information for your system. I basically did this on a gut feeling, but it worked,. After doing a comparison to see what was causing it to literally blue screen my system. I could see that F1 25 had literally the most extreme values that would never work, and missing info from my system, compared to the F1 24 hardware config files. I copied and pasted my Hardware_Settings_Config.xml file from F1 24 to F1 25,. I can now actually get into the game and at least go to the settings menu to make any changes needed. The game still crashes anytime I try to run the benchmark to insure the settings are to my liking. So this isn't foolproof, but maybe this will help others experiencing the same issues. The file path is in your Doucments/MyGames/F1 25/hardwaresettings/hardware_settings_config.xml
I suspect the issue is primarily affecting users with multiple monitors running at 1440P resolution, as that is the setup I am currently using. Hope this helps someone at least gain some progress in getting the game to work for them.
