[v1.04 / PC] Game crashes every time I face a driver interview

Recommended Posts

On the second day after I got the game running, I decided to dive into the career mode. I started the career with Haas F1, went past the intro sequence and got past FP1. Right after that, the very first driver interview should show up, but instead of that, the game decided to give up and froze. I restarted it, tried again, but the result remained the same. I Click on career mode, the interview will load up (I can see and hear the girl talking to the camera), but before the questions and timer can show up, game crashes into desktop.

I have already tried it atleast 10 times with different video quality settings, resolutions, battery outputs, with/without wheel and etc., but nothing helped me so far. I know my notebook is not the fastest, but if it can run 50% race on stable 30-40 fps, I would assume it will be able to run a simple interview. Unfortunately it seems like I am the only one with this exact issue.

Game version: 1.04 [Steam]
Game mode: Career
Spec: Notebook, Windows 10, 64-bit
          Intel Core-i5 5200U 2.20GHz
          4GB RAM
          Nvidia GeForce 940M Graphic Card
Problem: Without an error message, the game just shuts down itself completely during an interview

Hi @Vitak,

I'm sorry to hear you're game is crashing. Could you do a couple of checks for me? 

If you've not already done so, can you try verifying your game? You can do this by;
  1. Open Steam and go to the Library tab.
  2. Right click on F1 2018 and select Properties.
  3. Go to the Local Files tab and click verify integrity of game files.
If that's all okay, can you try updating all of your graphics drivers? 

If it's still crashing after that, can you please send us any crash dumps? 

If you're not sure where to find the game crash dumps;

  1. Browse to the folder where you have Steam installed, usually this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
  2. Browse to the userdata folder and Search for *.zip or browse to through the numbered directories to the relevant remote directory.
  3. You should find a file named something like crash_dump#76561198061784954.zip
  4. Send that file to us at community(AT)codemasters.com (replacing the (AT) with an @ )

Thank you for your response Faya. After that I tried verifying my files and I also tweaked a few settings in Nvidia control panel, and somehow, it worked! The interview had a bit strange lightning, but the game was surprisingly smooth. When I'll have time, I will try to finish FP2 and see how the next one goes. So again, thank you very much.
