Game keeps crashing - corrupted Game files

Hey, I started playing F1 25 on launch-day via Steam. But the game just keeps crashing.First it was a short blackscreen and back to desktop, like 10 times, until the game finally starts.Then I was able to play Braking Point with only one crash in one go. Nevertheless from the moment on I started playing the career mode the crashes came back. First the blackscreen one from the beginning, then in the middle of a race and so on.After trying like every suggestion from exciting tutorials regarding this topic, from reinstalling the newest driver (I have a RTX 4080), to downgrading again, to run the game as administrator, to bypass the game and anticheat through my firewall. Also I tried like 10-20 times the intergrety data thing in steam and after every crash there are 3 corrupted files (the Anticheat and preloader). Tried reinstalling and repairing the anticheat. Changed my graphics settings. And so on.

Now, after idk what I have changed at all, the game starts (blackscreen crash every 4th time or so), then I can play around 10-15 minutes after the game just freezes and just closes with no error at all. Happened in the menu, during Quali, in the middle of the race. It just freezes, sound goes on for antoher 5-10 secs and then the game just exits.

Interesting is, that it seems that I cant do 2 outings in sprint qualis, every time the game crashes in the middle of the second outing without exception.

At this point I spent more time trying to fix the issue than really playing the game. From what I’ve seen this is a known issue from F1 24 but still there is no fix to find

    It's not it but thanks.  I went to a buddy's house and logged into his Steam.  His game loads up immediately.  He hasn't updated his BIOS in years.

    thats nice. Yeah.  I was almost giving up and returning to console but when i updated my BIOS everything kind of sorted out and all issues on game start and graphic bugs stopped. It is also important to use the right NVIDIA driver version - 576.52

    Don't think graphics drivers are the problem.  Again tried it my buddy's house with the new Nvidia drivers and it started right up.  No BIOS update, no workaround, no graphics driver downgrade.  Stop kidding yourself and admit it's the anticheat EA.  Anything I have that has the Easy Anticheat boots up, but for some reason your system blows and won't let games load.

  • I had been having this same trouble since the game came out, but I've kept digging for potential solutions and I think I've found out what my issue was and hopefully it can help here. My game was always crashing somewhere between 1-5 minutes after startup and not providing an error message. As many have speculated, I believe this was the anti-cheat's issue. I found an Apex Legends post on their subreddit that's about 10 months old that has a list of applications that messed with that game's anti-cheat (also an EA published game). The list of applications are:

    • AutoHotkey
    • DS4Windows
    • iCUE
    • JoyToKey
    • Keys2XInput
    • Reshade
    • MSI Gaming Intelligence
    • Steelseries GG
    • Daemon Tools
    • THX Spatial
    • Wireshark

    I had both AutoHotkey and DS4Windows on my PC. I deleted both and I just went 25 minutes without a crash after trying F1 '25 again. If you're unsure if you have any of these items, I just used the search function within the "This PC" folder. AutoHotkey was also found within my control panel so you may want to check there. 

    I also have iCUE but I left it installed but did update it, not sure if that made a difference or not but figured it can't hurt to provide that info as well. 

    Hope this helps someone else!

  • Going to bump this because as of 8/20. This still hasn't been acknowledged or addressed as this is clearly game side. Which is honestly pathetic by the devs, hope yall are reading this.

     

    I am experiencing consistent crashing in F1 25 (PC, Steam version) specifically in Career Mode. The game crashes immediately after:

    Loading a myteam career save and just trying to get into HQ

    Loading a myteam career save and joining a race mid-save

    -Finishing a race when it attempts to load the post-race cutscene/podium sequence 

    This issue occurs even after:

    Verifying integrity of game files (Steam always reports that 3 files failed to validate and will be reacquired).

    Deleting my save files and starting a brand-new Career Mode.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the game completely.

    Disabling overlays and background software.

    I am still encountering crashes regardless of these troubleshooting steps.

    system specs

    GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D

    RAM: 64 GB

    Storage: Samsung 9100 Pro NVMe SSD (game installed here)

    OS: Windows  11 

    Additional notes

    The crashes occur reliably in Career Mode, not in other game modes.

    I am running the latest NVIDIA drivers and Windows updates.

    The issue persists on a clean reinstall with no mods or third-party tools.

  • Hi i finally got the answer you have to install the latesr windows update K5064081

  • I'm having trouble with starting the game. my ea anti cheat is in local disk. game in my E drive. i deleted my ea anti cheat on local disk so it can proritize the E drive anti cheat but it just makes a new one in local disk at launch. (local disk is C drive). I have been figuring this out since august 22nd. and still havent figureddc anything out.

    Hey there,

    This seems like an old thread. If you are having issues with EA Anticheat, I recommend that you look at this Discussion.

    Closing this thread now to avoid duplicate information.
