Hey everyone,You can find out what's in this patch in this thread Here.Need some help? Something in the patch not working the way it should? Tell us in this thread.

@mattwells149852 very proud they wrote that smoking is now a solved problem ahahahahah they increased it ahahahahh no guys now we are knocked out they don't know what they are doing everything they touch they destroy ahhha

Congratulations on yet another patch full of useless, unnecessary stuff! Not to mention that none of the bugs in the game were fixed! You’re ridiculous—every single person working on this game! I just closed and deleted it; there’s no other game as unstable as this garbage! The smoke is ridiculous—what was even changed about it? Nothing! It looks like someone is burning oil or rubber on the track! Micro-lags, FPS drops, and tons of lag have appeared, while nothing like this happened before, and I’m running it on a high-end rig (i7 13700KF, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, 64 GB RAM)! How on earth did you think this was okay? Did anyone even test this horror? Shame on you, and don’t come with your usual BS that everything’s fine... What a joke! I hope you lose the rights as soon as possible and that you’re never allowed near Formula 1 ever again! If I ever put out work like this, I wouldn’t accept a single cent as payment—it’s truly disgraceful!

The only way F125 can redeem the absolute mess they've created for F124 is by completely going in a different direction.For F125 to be a success they have to bin F1 World, bin Fanzone, bin stickers (beyond ridiculous) and bin stupid tacky gimmicks.F125 absolutely has to have significantly improved handling, AI behaviour, many more and improved helmet designs that are not hidden behind a pay or grind system, improved engineer audio, improved Ferrari audio and less of the game breaking bugs.In addition it has to be tested properly before it's just rushed out and released.I think EA are in for a shock when F125 gets released. They have lost a lot of trust within the community after F124. Sales will be down and to be honest they deserve it. Charging £90 for a complete hash of a game is not acceptable.

i have played with some friends a multiplayer game. We had some issuesSo.. here a list of what happened:- i got kicked before starting a race with the error "not enough players to start the match", but we were 8 players (it was monaco, we had 20min qualify)- when re-entering the race i tried to regain control of my car, but after choosing the option "take control" i could only see the IA running my car without having any hud or chance to take control of my car. After 2 full laps i exited and re-entered the session, but my car was retired- one of the player saw this into the lap remaining to box:(look at the blue number in the right-bottom corner)- 2 of the CPU "forgot" to go into the box, so they didn't change the tire and got disqualified- a CPU got the fastest time ever on monaco: 36 seconds- after that we have to race in Baku. It had perfect weather, a perfect sun without any clouds.. but half of us had intermediate tires for the qualify session- the smoke is too heavy and stays on track too much time, its really impossibile to follow other players(in this screeshot you can see the smoke of only 2 cars 2 seconds ahead of me, a CPU and a player. When there are 4 or more cars you can't see anything, and this happen on EVERY corner)I'm playing on PS5, but the game was in crossplay with some PC and some XBOX users. This 1.14 patch needs some work IMHO

All these new smoke issues that have been introduced since the patch was released that was supposed to fix them clearly shows that absolutely nobody at all at EA has even bothered to test it!It's actually getting worse, which is borderline impossible. The best thing you can do EA going forward is to hire someone to actually test the game and new patch releases. I'd highly recommend you focus on that rather than live season whatever it is garbage, containing beyond useless items to win!

@IanM282 You can see even the content creators have given up with it already and even they are slating EA/CM.

I'm going to start offering odds on which bugs will come back from F122/23/24

@mattwells149852 Yes agreed, watched all of their videos recently and they are absolutely correct.

EA and Codemasters I doubt will change their approach for F125. My bet is they will continue down the same path of self destruction by prioritising the stupid tacky gimmicks, rather than implementing some of the great ideas posted in the feedback thread that they actually created.

Without doubt all of those bugs will be back for F125.

What they've done with the tyre smoke is the equivalent of a fireman trying to extinguish a small fire in a bin only to burn down the entire building it was in......
Trying to patch this thing is a bit like playing Jenga!

@SDGMatt 😂 I find it absolutely unbelievable that they released a patch to improve the smoke situation and actually made it ten times worse? Honestly you couldn't make it up.

It so blatantly obvious that they never ever tested it whatsoever. How on earth can you implement a new patch without even testing it? What an absolute calamity!

Hi @buelzenost,

Thanks for the tip. I checked the files myself, and every time, the STEAM client re-downloads 3 files for me as well. However, I couldn't determine exactly which ones.
I'm attaching a recording that shows a solid 200+ FPS, but occasionally there's a noticeable micro-stutter, which is extremely annoying. I couldn’t reproduce it consistently, but there was even a moment when FPS dropped by 20-40 for a few seconds.

@EA_Groguet : We still haven’t received any feedback or an expected timeframe for a potential bug fix. What’s the reason?

Hi everyone!

I have a sneaking suspicion that the freezes are probably caused by the EA Anti-Cheat. I’ve verified the files on Steam multiple times, and it always updates/downloads the following three files separately:
preloader_l.dll
EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.dll
EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher
I tried downloading the EA Anti-Cheat installer both within the game directory and separately, reinstalled and updated it, but it didn’t solve the problem.
Would someone from the developers finally be willing to confirm what the issue actually is?
Cheers..

Ever since F1 24 is out, the DRS signs in Monza are misplaced, and it's STILL NOT FIXED.

@LuckyNico92 Yep! As we've all said, it obviously was not tested
