Anti-Cheat Causing Game to Fail to Launch or Crash
I purchased the game on Steam, and since the day I bought it, I have never been able to launch it properly. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Reinstalling the game multiple times Updating my BIOS Verifying game file integrity in Steam (Steam always reports 3 missing files, and no matter how many times I reinstall or verify, the issue remains ) Closing all background applications that could potentially cause conflicts Despite all of this, the game either fails to launch at all, or it crashes within one to two minutes after launching. According to Windows Event Viewer, the crash appears to be related to EA Anti-Cheat. Below is the error information I found: Log Name: Application Source: Application Event ID: 1 Level: Error Error Details: EAAntiCheatService The game f1_25.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x1 This issue happens consistently every time I try to launch the game. I would like to know if this is a known issue with EA Anti-Cheat, and if there are any official fixes or additional troubleshooting steps I can try. At the moment, the game is completely unplayable for me.Unable to boot F1 25 due to Javelin
I'm running Windows 11 and I can't boot the game past the splash screen. Every time I try to boot up the game a pop up appears saying "the latest version of EA Javelin Anticheat is required to play." with the error code 115. My graphics card, BIOS, Windows are all up to date. I tried to verify game files on Steam, repair and uninstall and reinstall Javelin through the EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe, restart my PC, whitelist the .exe in Windows security, but nothing works. Please help me fix this?AI overtakes under yellow flags / safety car / VSC
I’ve noticed a serious issue where the AI can overtake under yellow flags, safety car, and VSC conditions without any penalty or needing to give the position back. It’s happened to me multiple times — for example, being overtaken on a straight under a full yellow flag, with the AI making a move as if the rules didn’t apply. No warning, no penalty, no position swap. Another clear case: in Career Mode, I exited the pits under safety car conditions and crossed the pit exit line about 2 meters ahead of an AI car. They immediately overtook me and never gave the place back — again, no consequence. This is yet another example of how the AI is not subject to the same rules or simulations as the player. Combined with issues like unlimited ERS, unrealistic traction, and no dirty air effects, it really hurts immersion and fairness. Hope this gets addressed — it’s a major gameplay issue.
F1 25 instantly closes when window is focused (click or Alt+Tab)
After the recent June update, F1 25 on PC crashes the moment the game window becomes active. It was working perfectly fine before. The game launches fine and reaches the main menu in the background, but as soon as I click it or Alt+Tab into it, it closes instantly with no error. There are no logs in Event Viewer or EA Anti-Cheat. I’ve fully uninstalled the game, deleted all configs and settings, cleared EA App cache, reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat, and even clean booted — same result. Specs: - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - RTX 5080 - 32GB DDR5 - Windows 11 - EA App (latest) I have tried with Nvidia drivers 576.80 and 576.66. Other EA games like EA FC 25 work perfectly. This only happens in F1 25 after the recent patch. Please investigate and escalate this. Thanks.Penalty system
I’m reaching out about the penalty system in F1 25. It feels like a vicious cycle: as your license grade drops, you end up in races with more aggressive drivers who tend to ram into you. Then, when you’re forced off track or caught up in these incidents, you get penalties that drag your license down even further. It’s frustrating because it feels like the system punishes you for circumstances beyond your control. I’d really appreciate it if you could look into refining the penalty system to make it fairer and more balanced for everyone. I know it’s not a legitimate bug, but maybe others find it frustrating too.Failure to launch from the EA Play app
Just downloaded my first game F1 25) and it refuses to launch. I get messages re: checking for updates, anticheat etc., before it says it's launching the game, but it just takes me straight back to the EA Play app. I've tried all of the suggestions I found online (run as admin, repair files, show only 1 display etc.) but the same thing keeps happening. What do I need to do to be able to play the game I paid for? Report ID - 0391a3a6-f610-4dba-9e63-82f573e168af
F1 25 Crashing (ANTI-CHEAT)
Hey all, I’ve been stuck with this crash that began today and I’m out of ideas. Hoping someone else has hit the same issue: Error log (Event Viewer, Windows 11): Source: Application EAAntiCheatService The game f1_25.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005 What I’ve already tried: Verified game files (Steam) Reinstalled EA AntiCheat Clean GPU driver install with DDU (just last week) Disabled all overlays (Steam, Discord, NVIDIA, MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner, etc.) Closed RGB/control apps (Corsair iCUE, Armoury Crate, etc.) Cleared EA App cache Disabled Windows Core Isolation (Memory Integrity) Reinstalled latest Visual C++ runtimes (x86 + x64, 2015–2022) Tried without XMP/EXPO System: Windows 11 Pro 23H2 RX 7800XT, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz Steam version of the game Issue: Every time I launch F1 25, the game dies instantly with EA AntiCheat logging 0xC0000005. No other errors show in Event Viewer except the AntiCheat entry. At this point I’m thinking it’s either a deeper EA AntiCheat conflict, or something specific to my system config. Has anyone else run into this exact crash recently? Any hidden fixes I’ve missed? Thanks in advance 🙏Problem with anti-cheat in F1 25
