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.AI Difficulty Broken: Infinite ERS and Slow Race Pace
Can we get an update on the AI difficulty being broken? The AI seems to be completely unbalanced. Qualifying: The AI seems to have infinite boost/ERS, which can make it very hard to make it past Q2 or even Q1, even on the right difficulty. Races: The AI’s pace is completely off and too slow, causing players to finish 10-20 seconds ahead even if starting way behind. Note: This is all occurring while using the correct difficulty setting and keeping it the same between qualifying and races. The balance is entirely fractured between sessions and needs a hotfix.

Hello EA Support, I am experiencing a serious issue with F1 26 on PlayStation 5. When I launched the game, it started as if I was playing for the first time. Since then, I have lost all of my game data, including: All custom car setups for every track. All customized items I purchased or unlocked. Cars, suits, helmets, gloves, and other customization items. Game progress and personal settings. My PlayStation Network account and EA account are the same accounts I have always used. I have not changed accounts, and my save data appears to have been overwritten after the game reset. I have already checked my PS5 console storage and cloud saves, but I cannot recover my previous data. Could you please investigate whether my EA profile or cloud data can be restored? If this is a known issue, I would appreciate any assistance in recovering my progress and purchased content. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply. Kind regards, Emerson[Bug] Unrealistic AI Wet Weather Pace... AGAIN!
Platform: PC (Steam) Game Mode: Career Mode Track: Suzuka Circuit AI Level: 100% Control Device: Logitech G29 Description of the Issue: There is a massive discrepancy in AI pace between dry and wet track conditions on the Suzuka Circuit when playing at 100% AI difficulty. Dry Conditions: The balance is perfect. My lap times are completely competitive and equal to my teammate’s pace. Wet Conditions (Intermediate / Full Wet): As soon as the rain starts, the AI suddenly becomes 5 to 10 seconds per lap faster than humanly possible, despite using the correct compound for the conditions. The AI gains an immense, unnatural advantage specifically on corner exits and straight-line speed through wet sections, suggesting their traction physics and power delivery are unaffected by the low-grip surface. Background & History: This exact issue was already present in the original F1 25 (before 2026 seazon pack) and was reported multiple times by the community. Although previous bug report threads on this topic were marked as "Solved" / "Resolved" on the forums, the issue was never actually fixed in the game. Subsequent reports from players regarding this bug have been consistently ignored, yet the problem persists in the 2026 Season Pack. Expected Result: AI lap times in the wet should scale realistically, increasing by a similar margin as the player's lap times due to reduced grip. Actual Result: The player loses traction and time naturally, while the AI retains dry-like traction on corner exits, gaining up to 5–10 seconds per lap and dominating on straight lines. Additional Notes: This issue completely ruins wet weather sessions and races on higher AI difficulties, as the player cannot adjust the AI difficulty slider mid-session once the rain starts falling.Online service error
I experienced this problem 2 days ago and it's happening again. It just solved by itself at first time but now I'm not sure when it will be. I've also read all the messages in the mailbox. I retried to connect in the mailbox and got a connection one time but I lost connection again when I tried to enter f1 world. And the error code keeps changing. Please check and let me know what I can do. p.s. I got connection as soon as I edited this post... this is so random. this time, it took about 60~70 hours to get fixed. p.s. I lost it again. it just last 3 min wtf.Replay not available for the full race
I just did a Monaco 100% race and the replay is once again not fully available. Only the last two and a half laps (of the 78 laps) were there. Please look into this issue! The replays after long distance races have been bugged for over a year now. Thanks! Report code: TRMX-SVBP-LXTT-CBTDWheel's panel is glitching while playing
Report code: HHVV-GLGL-CJSH-JJHJ Platform: Xbox Series S Wheel / Controller: Wheel (Thrustmaster T248) Bug description: My wheel's panel is glitching while I am playing F1 25: 2026 Season Pack. The panel's text is stuck at showing the text GEAR, instead of actually showing the gears / speed / positions etc. When I am opening the panel's settings menu, or want to change what to be shown, the same problem occurs. This issue is happening since the latest patch, that came out today at noon. Here you can see that I am opening the panel settings menu on my wheel (this is marked by two lit stripes at the bottom left of the panel), the wheel actually detects that I opened the settings, however the panel is stuck at showing the text GEAR. During gameplay the panel also shows the GEAR text. What do you expect to see: While I am driving I want to see the speed / position / gears details to be shown on my wheel's control panel, for example if I set my panel to show the RPM, this is what I should see: However the panel is showing this: Additional information: the alternate ways to troubleshoot this at the moment is by pausing the game and opening the Xbox menu, by pressing the Xbox button. During that time the wheel is not stuck at showing GEAR on the panel.
