F1 22 - Warning

[harryfrederick45]

When I try to launch the game I get a warning telling me that my version of windows is older than the required version for the game. I have the latest version of windows so not sure why this is happening. If anyone has any tips on how they fixed it I would appreciate it

Okay, sorry. I thought maybe your Windows was truly not up to date, but judging from the report, Windows is updated.
I can't really help out, except to give you the hint of a complete Windows reinstallation. This often helps with software problems, but is also a lot of work and not much fun. Besides, this measure is definitely exaggerated. But now we know some of your specs and maybe someone knows something.
btw i have the same beast of a CPU

You could try updating your BIOS. I once had problems starting a game and the error message didn't make much sense.
In the end the BIOS update (or in my case it was a downgrade) helped.
But be aware of the dangers of a BIOS update :-)

Thanks for trying, even updated to windows 11 but still no use. Latest update has bugged it out completely. I am out of ideas tbh. Not wanting to reinstall windows because I am almost certain that it is the actual game itself that is causing the problem.

Have you found a solution for this yet? I have been having the same issue for some time now. It will let me load the game but after a few laps in race, the game will lag and my wheel starts glitching and jerking back and forth (makes it very hard to drive). I real don't want to have to do a fresh reinstall of windows.

try deleting hardware settings in f1 22 or documents folder idk where it is

[ihagler.4]

i can't find those folders :/

[ihagler.4]

so i finally located the hardware settings and looked at the hardware_settings_info folder and saw where its trying to load the game under windows 8...this pc has never had 8 loaded onto it. i even went to the extent of trying to recode the file will my current windows 11 pro and version 22000 and saving the file to try to trick the game into loading the game with windows 11 but it will revert that file back to windows 8 when trying to load the game.

hardware settings files: documents>my games>f122 through finding these files we have found that it has recognized that we have windows 8 installed vs the windows 11 pro that we actually have we tried re-coding the file accordingly with no success as well as deleting the file all together as well as the game an still no luck i strongly believe this is our issue we just need a way or to know a way for these files to properly recognize the version of windows we have.

delete the file entirely, also delete it from recycling bin
