F1 2011 Cant play anymore

Jose Navarro · Nov 19, 2011

Hello guys!

My problem is when F1 ask to press Start or Enter...once I press Start (from my wheel) the screen turns all black then appear that message to report the error and shuts down.

I haven install mods like a month ago in case u were wondering

Thank you
Rafael

I had This problem, it crashed when i got to the loading profile bit at the beginning, if your problem is the same, then this will sort it.

"Problem: Whenever I try to start F1 2011 the game just crashes on the "Checking Device Storage Screen" before I get to the main menu.
Solution: If you have a steering wheel connected (or any other controller than the keyboard) try the following steps - Thanks to Krischaaan and Mr Omega Alpha

Disconnect the Wheel
Start the game. No crash should occur and the controller will be automatically set to "keyboard" (because of the missing wheel)
Save the game manually (It seems that the corrupted autosave file is overwritten by a new one without corruption)
Exit the game
Connect the wheel
Started the game once again - This time it shouldn't crash when loading
Set up the controller as required
Save the game"
