I reinstalled the latest video card driver, restarted my PC, then redownloaded the entire game, verified the file integrity — nothing. I also deleted the hardware settings, well if that was the problem, I didn't get any further at all. Yesterday evening it still worked, today it doesn't even start. I honestly don't know what to do anymore, my friends have also run out of ideas. What could be the problem? Since then today I also tried running it as administrator, that didn't help either. I checked another EA game and that started without a problem. I saw somewhere that USB can also be the issue, I use my controller through that, until now I never had this problem with any game or any F1 game.
Ideas
The game crashes at startup

SeeEyeslol Thanks for trying the steps requested.
Could you please provide a report code?
You can get it from the Pause menu, bottom left of the screen; it looks like ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP). Codes are always letters, so if you think something is a "2," it might be a "Z," or if you think it might be a "0," then it will be an "O."

Hey there,
Thank you all for your report, and sorry for the inconvenience!
I would recommend you try the workaround my colleague has shared. If this workaround doesn't work for you, can you share your report code with us?
You can find instructions for checking your report code here.

I have the same problem. I use Steam. My PC as an i9 whit 32 CPUs. If all them are active, the game craches. I have to switch to 8 CPUs by going to system settings, in boot tab, advanced options, selecting the number of processors and putting 8 processors in the box, restarting the PC, and then the game starts. The same thing happens with EA WRC game. Only then can I play

Having the same issues. I run through steam. No issues whatsoever, no change and all new parts less then year old. On Nvidia 4080… uninstalled, tried rolling back driver. Looks like after I uninstall f125 and driver I reinstall I can use the game. After a restart it was done. I’m reinstalling it all now. I’m not on Steam beta.
this is upsetting. Somwthing about the new game is killing me. I was not able to race my last league race… just a bummer.

misread client beta as f1 client beta, abandoning steam beta resolved the issue. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Im on the EA app on PC and my game is crashing right after selecting VR or desktop. Screen goes black and it crashes without an error code, Ive repaired the files aswell as reinstalling the anticheat a few times with no solutions.
