Hello!
I buy and installed F1 2018 with Steam just a few days ago, but I cannot play with it because of the familiar: "Crash to Desktop" problem. When I try to start a race (or career) the game exit to desktop without any warning message. I read many forum topics and tried everything, but nothing helped. I read that many gamers had same problem so I really hope that since 2018 there are a good solution for that.
The main specs of my notebook (Lenovo Legion):
Win 10 Pro
RAM: 8 GB
CPU: Intel i5-8300H 2,3 GHz
GPU: NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 (Game ready driver version: 460.89) (beside of that: Intel UHD Graphics 630)
What I could not try out: Change the game to v1.04.01 beta version (key: c7EFPdFd6XADgGL7X284D4m8N6gYZmvb). I gave this key in Steam, but Steam say's: Its invalid code.
I tried the followings:
Change the .exe properties: "run as administrator, run in win 8 mode".. etc
In the game change some points below the video settings: "change the frame limits, change the resolution, windowed mode".. etc
I tried to verify the game files in Steam below the game properties.
Thank you for your help!
