Validate Your Files

[FaultyJawa]

Make sure to validate your Steam files after this patch. There were three missing for me.

How do I get those files back?

The steam validation automatically downloads them.

where you press play for F1 24 in steam theres a little options wheel on the right ( looks like a cog if you keep following past achievements to the 3 icons on the right)
left click properties
Installed files (on left column)
select Verify Intergrity of game files

and it will automatically double check your installation folder for missing files or something needs repairing or didnt download properly beforehand.. it could be very much a 1 mb packet it failed to download when you tried updating it before....
usually common on update day to most games

if its 100% validated and stopped needing to download missing parts F1 should launch if it doesnt then its something else on your pc restricting the Start up of the game

I have no idea. I stopped playing this a couple updates ago. Every update they've done to this game has made it more broken, so I uninstalled it.
