Game crashes everytime i try to play!
I get the error message
error reading game data please verify game cache
(i did that 3 times now does not help)
then goes back to windows and the game only gives black screen after that i have to shut it down via task manager.
Does anyone have the same issue or maybe a fix ?
Would be greatly appreciated!!

I have the same issue, but also notice my computer has some weird issues since installing the game, freezing and blue screens.

Wish I had a solution for you, buddy

We have a potential fix for this issue. However, as these CPUs are not officially supported by the game and haven't been through a full QA cycle, we do not want to place this fix into the main game just yet. Instead, we have set up a beta branch in Steam where you can get this fix and see if it resolves your issue. To do this, please follow these steps:

Open your Steam library
Right-click on the F1 2018 game and select "Properties"
Select the Beta tab on the properties pop up
In the text entry box ‘Enter beta access code to unlock private betas’ enter: c7EFPdFd6XADgGL7X284D4m8N6gYZmvb then click CHECK CODE.
A message “Access code correct, private beta ‘phenomtest’ is now available will appear
Ensure that in the drop-down menu on the Betas tab that "phenomtest" is selected (not the default NONE option) and then Close the window.
The game will now update.
Launch F1 2018. This game version should now display as v1.04.1 at the Press Start Screen.
Please let us know if this resolves your immediate issues. If so, we'll roll this fix into the main game once our full QA cycle has been completed.

Customers who do not have the affected CPUs should not get this branch as there might be unintended side effects from this change.

Customers who do not have the affected CPUs and who are experiencing problems launching the game should add a new support thread with the required information: http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/132514/f1-games-technical-assistance-bug-reports-please-read-before-posting. This should include a summary of your core system specs and graphics driver information.

Got the same problem, can't download and update the game.
Has been running fine for many month without trouble.

Have tried clear download cache, change download country, repair download library
Keep getting an error about corrupt content files everytime I try update


What to do?
