Steam Error Code 41

[Bhask012 0]

Hi to all!

I just have installed F1 2015 via Steam, but when I try to launch the game a window appears with this message: "The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request of F1 2015. Error code (41)". The installation went fine and everyhting's okay, but can't play for the moment... Any idea?

Thanks in advance!! ;)

Tried everything but still the same error code when trying to launch the game.

I had a similar issue the entire day. Solved it by installing the game on the same HDD as my Operating System and Steam.

I have all my steam games on a separate HDD and they all work fine, this seems like a very weird issue

I have the game already installed on the same HDD as the operating system, steam and other games...

Thanks for your reply!! I can't play the game for the moment, so it would be nice to find a solution! ;)

I have the same Error 41 code, but I can play the game, I only get the code when I exit the game.

I've uninstalled & reinstalled the game. That doesn't help.

I was a preload. I think it has to do with the preload & manifest files from Steam not deleting from the original preload.

I didn't preload the game, I have it in physic format pre-ordered, I have installed and activated it, but when I try to launch, black screen and back to desktop, it says something about in-game resolution and then the steam error code window appears... It's so frustrating...

When I launch the game, when the screen is black and before dropping to the desktop, a window appears also with the in-game resolution in 1366x768. My screen native resolution is 1920x1080, maybe this could be the problem??

I report having the same bug from Steam install.
I tried to fix it by un-checking the Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for F1 2015 box in the
F1 2015 - Properties panel in the UPDATES tab.

[laledesi 0]

Un-checking the Steam Cloud box was greyed on so I had click on the link
Visit Settings / Downloads + Cloud first to be able to un-check it after that.

It works for me so far. That checkbox should not be checked by default or I don't even know how that "Cloud" thingie is for... lol (noob here) ;)

I have the cloud sync deactivated for all my games, that's what you mean? I just noticed that a 7.4MB patch or something else has been installed...

I get the Steam error code 41 every time I close the game.

I had mine deactivated for all my games before but once I got that bug every time I exited that new game, I thought of checking it again and to my surprise, it was on.. Maybe a Steam client update changed it without me ever noticing it since? Anyway, I solved that bug (I don't use that Cloud thingie since I only play on 1 PC). I just thought to share it.

Yes, I got the patch too, but that bug isn't in the list (maybe in the next patch or later on?).

Sadly I'm still experiencing the error code 41 issue,. I have checked the cloud everytime and is always off. In the list of fixes of the first patch there's nothing about this, so let's see in the next one. CODEMASTERS, THIS IS SO SO FRUSTRATING...

I don't know why, but un-checking that option fixed the issue on my Steam install.

I had that Error code 41 pop up every time I exited the game after it was unlocked yesterday evening. Although I could play it without other bugs showing, unlike many here who report the game doesn't even start.

So I just thought of opening the game's Properties dialog and go see if that Cloud option was off, and it wasn't, but the box was greyed out. I fixed it and the error code msg never occured even just once after that. So I decided to write that post here in case it could be helpful to someone else. Don't blame me LOL, but I suggest posting your report on the Steam boards: maybe someone there could help. I'm done here.
