[Workaround] F1® 24 - Silent Crashes [ Edited ]

[EA_Groguet]

Hi drivers!

We have seen some reports from players experiencing crashes on Windows 10 and 11. The team has identified a fix that is being readied for deployment which will update the F1® 24 launcher seamlessly soon.

Meanwhile, we hope this workaround helps you to jump into the game. Please, consider that this workaround might not work 100% of the time, but it has proven useful for some players.

To fix this issue you will need to set up an exception for F1_24 to force a feature called Control Flow Guard off. Control flow guard helps to prevent memory problems for applications that implement the feature. Currently, F1 24 is being incorrectly identified as supporting the feature. For some users, this will enable F1 24 to boot rather than being closed incorrectly.

Please, find below the steps on how to do it.

• In Windows search bar (press win key to find it) search "Exploit Protection".
• Click on program settings and then select add program to customise.
• Choose F1_24 by browsing to the file path:
  • EA app: Program Files\EA Games\F1 24\F1_24.exe
  • Steam: \\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\F1 24\F1_24.exe
• Turn OFF the control flow guard.
• Repeat for EA Anti Cheat Launcher.

Thank you all for your reports, for your constant help and for helping us to figure out this workaround!

Happy racing!
