It can get really frustrating when errors show up on your game screen, and it can get even more frustrating when you wreck your brain trying to solve the issue by looking up vague fixes and directions. EA’s F1 23 is no exception; the realistic racing simulation game is still bogged down by a slew of crashes and compatibility issues. One of the particular issues is the Error Code CE-34878-0 on PS5, which throws up a blue screen with the message ‘An error has occurred in the following application: F1 23’. In this article, let’s look at the possible fixes for the F1 23 Error Code CE-34878-0. Remember that the fixes listed here might work or might not at all, so if you ever run out of options, reach out to EA Support! Let’s begin.
F1 2023 (F1 23) Error Code CE-34878-0: How to fix it
Identify possible points of error
Before we disappear down the gullet of the error in search of a fix, we shall lose some deadweight here. The term “CE” stands for “Common Error,” which are typical errors that PS5 users frequently experience. These are some possible identifiers that a specific reason was the cause of the error; check them out:
- Try launching other games to find out whether they spit out this same error or whether this error code pops out as soon as you start F1 23. If the error occurs while launching every game on your PS5/PS4, you’ll most probably need to contact PlayStation Support.
- Did you upgrade your HDD recently (on PlayStation)? Then it might be the cause of this error code CE-34878-0 in F1 23.
- Are the PlayStation servers or EA servers online? Check if the PSN servers are online or not. If not, this is most likely a global issue, so you need to wait for it to come back online.
Hopefully, the error localizes to the points specified above. So, here are some workarounds to get rid of it:
Check for updates
The reason for F1 23 showing Error Code CE-34878-0 can be attributed to the game, console, or OS not being updated. So, to fix it, close the game, install the latest game updates, system software, or firmware updates, and do a system restart. This should hopefully fix your problem. If not, continue reading.
Did you have your storage upgraded?
Did you do a recent HDD upgrade on your console? Then, this might be the cause of the problem; try re-installing the original HDD and see if it fixes this issue. Also, if you have installed the game on an external HDD/SSD, consider moving it to the internal storage of the console and then launching it.
Try Initializing the console
Some users reported that initializing their console fixed this issue. So, you can give this method a try as well. However, back up the saved data before proceeding. Now, go to PS Settings ->Initialization -> Initialize PS.
Try rebuilding the PS database
Rebuilding the PlayStation database might help, as it re-registers files from scratch and might wipe away corrupted game files or console files. This is a part of the Initialization process, so if the latter didn’t work, try rebuilding the console database. To do this, first, turn off your console and hold the power button until you hear two beeps. Now, connect the controller to your console via the USB connection and press the PlayStation button on it. Next, select the 5th option (Rebuild Database) from the menu that appears. After confirming your selection, wait for some time, and the console will eventually boot up. Now, launch the game and check whether the error persists.
Power cycle the console
Power cycling the console deletes the system’s cache and other junk files. So, performing this workaround can fix the issue as well. To perform a power cycle, completely turn off the console by holding the power button and waiting for the power light to stop flashing. Then remove the power cable and leave the console for some time. Now, boot it up, and then launch the game.
Hard Reset and Re-install
If none of these fixes worked for the Error Code CE-34878-0 in F1 23, try doing a hard reset of the console and re-installing F1 23. Although this will wipe out your console settings and data, doing so might fix the persistent error code.
Anyway, we hope that this guide helped you fix the Error Code CE-34878-0 in F1 23, and do follow Android Gram for more such guides in the future!
