If you can't launch the game, try this...

Install on your C drive (I know it sounds like a nonsense suggestion).

I was getting the anti-cheat splash screen then a "security violation" error. I tried everything suggested, the FC24 fix, validating files, reinstalled etc, nothing worked. Then on the EA forum an EA Community Manager said try on C drive, it worked instantly.

To be clear, it was installed on another NVME drive along with my entire Steam library, so it should've worked, clearly the game has some issue.

Anyway, worth a try if you haven't already.

I have the same issue was working on Trial so i thought i would purcahse the Championship Eddition now it doenst load at all splash screen then back to EA console

I personally don't have that option as my c drive is smaller than the size of the game itself

I have F1 24 on steam, it doesnt run

The anti-cheat runs, the small logo window appears, then disappears.

Steam says the game is running and there is even a f124.exe in Task Manager

BUT...the game is not running and there is no icon on the task bar.

The task manager says f1.24,exe is using some RAM but no cpu usuage.

Here is the f1.24.exe running file

Also the game IS installed on a NVME M2 drive.

NOTE I had to add the exstention .TXT to even upload the running file to this site, please remove if needed

Installed here at C already. Just the default c:\Program Files\EA Games\F1 2024

By the way: is there a reason why the numerous issues here are not yet listed in this topic?
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Updates-News/F1-24-Community-Raised-Issues/m-p/13760277#M4

EA staff keeps telling that they are working on it, but do not see it anyware stated as issue under investigation.

(And yes, aware that fixing often takes time, but it would be at least good to have issues officially acknowledged. Or is it even not clear yet what the issue is?).

Installed to C Drive and something new- it mentioned EAAntiCheat needed installing, installed. Tried to start, thorwn out to EA App Again.

Tried the Exploit Protection on the new installation on the C Drive. Thrown out to EA App Again. I really hope I get a few days extra Play Pro gratis for this.

So after all that it was Bitfender. I'm an idiot. But in case it hslps anyone create exceptions for F124.exe for the various protection programs in Bitdefender and it might work.

Unfortunately that's certainly not the answer in my case; I've no third party AV and exceptions in Windows defender (also tried with it entirely disabled)

Progress. I was finally able to launch the game for the first time with EA Play. I finally closed/ended task on every single background process and app possible and success. It doesn't seem to be anything obvious like anti virus or VPN software. So it may take me a while to figure out what program is causing the issue. I will report back as soon as I can.
