F1 2018 doesnt start in PC

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, i have a problem.
I bought F1 2018 via steam. It all worked fine, as i finished downloading the game and tried to start it nothing happend. 
I tried everything ( re-installing graphic drivers, re-installing the game, updated windows etc.) but nothing worked. My pc can meet system requirements by the way.(Windows 7 64bit, İntel Core i5 650 cpu, 8 gb ram, gtx 1050). I have waited for a long time for this game and it just doesnt run now. I hope you can help me.

Hi @RomanJiyanov,

Could you let me know exactly what happens when you try to play the game? Do you click on the “Play” button and nothing happens?

I can see you’ve done a number of things to try to fix the issue yourself. Can I check to see if you’ve tried verifying the game files?

Validating F1 2018 downloaded correctly

  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 doesn’t work, could you send us the information below so that we can investigate further? Many thanks,

How to send us your in-game hardware settings file

  • Browse to your hard drive where windows in installed
  • Browse to "...\Documents\My Games\<game_folder>\hardwaresettings\"
  • Locate the file "hardware_settings_config.xml" and send this to us at community(AT)codemasters.com (replacing the (AT) with an @)

How to save a DXDiag

In Windows 7:

1.       Click on the "Start" Button.

2.       In the Search Box type dxdiag and press <Enter>. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.

3.       Click on “Save all Information.”

4.       Save the information to your Desktop, keep the file name as is.

5.       Send the file to us at community(AT)codemasters.com (replacing the (AT) with an @ )

 

And can you check to see if you have any crash dumps?

How to find a crash dump

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 @ )

Solved!
After several attempts, updating drivers and DX, when I started the game again, 
I got a message that "I was offline and needed to be online to start the game for the first time." 
It happens that I access the internet normally, browsing, exchanging emails, facebook, 
everything ok. 
So I looked at what ports Steam uses, and I discovered that there was conflict, 
since my Easyphp was set to port 4380. I changed the Easyphp port and rebooted Steam. 
I open this port in the modem (virtual server, something like it) and reboot modem.
Ready, running and playing. I hope this helps somebody. Hugs and good races.
Try It Roman!
