F1® 25 - Patch 1.07 Discussion Thread

I'm so unbelievably frustrated with F125, on the outside it promised to be better than F124, I'm starting to believe it's not much different.

The AI is completely broken, their straight line speed is a joke and needs fixing.

Just started a race at Brazil, on a controller, after 7 laps the tyre degradation is pathetic on a pad. The AI start reeling you back in. Additionally their straight line speed is ridiculous. I gave up and turned it off, rubbish!

An absolute priority is to fix the tyre degradation on a controller, you have completely got this so wrong! Wheel users have 20% less degradation per stint!  Why was it released like this? Did you not think that controller players would be competing against wheel players? 

Wet weather is broken and still remains broken even after the attempted patch to bring more performance to the players car. Completely the wrong direction to go in, fix the AI.

The PS5 has bad graphical glitches. In overcast conditions there is a trail of black shadow from the back of the car same as F124. Why has this not been added to the list of issues? It's been reported.

The TV camera relays have poor FPS (PS5) stuttering.

Same as Brazil in F124 kerb usage shows bits of the track flying everywhere a clear graphical bug. Only happens in Brazil same as F124! (PS5).

With the AI being way overpowered on the straights, dry and wet and in the wet with superior traction with zero tyre degradation and endless battery usage and the players car with excessive tyre wear on a pad, how the hell can you compete in a career mode?

Fix the controller tyre wear.

Fix the AI straight line speed.

Fix the wet weather.

All basic stuff that should have taken priority over pointless things like reverse tracks. 

I hope you are all working on sorting this out because it's completely broken.

Dear Team,

I'm writing to express my deep frustration with how AI behaves in wet conditions in F1 25 on PC (EA Games App). - I dont know if it is the same on other platforms

Yes, the AI technically slows down a bit when it rains — but the level of grip they have is completely unrealistic, almost as if they're still racing on a dry track. Meanwhile, for human players, driving in the wet feels like a completely different game.

Even with traction control turned off or set to medium — which is often necessary just to keep up — the car becomes extremely unstable or, conversely, heavily restricted. Traction control drags the car down, making it sluggish and unresponsive, while the AI seems to glide through corners with minimal loss of pace or traction.

This creates a massive imbalance and takes away from the realism and enjoyment of wet-weather racing. Frankly, it feels unfair — and it's incredibly frustrating, especially in a full-priced game where players expect a more balanced and authentic experience.

I truly hope this issue is being acknowledged and that improvements to AI grip levels and TC behavior in wet conditions are being considered in future patches.

Sincerely,
f1balageehu

Hi,

I absolutely agree with the concerns raised above. I’d like to add that this is not what I would expect from a triple-A title. It’s not the presence of bugs that’s the real issue — we’re all human, and mistakes happen — but the frustrating part is that, two months after release, this issue still hasn’t been addressed.

Please take this seriously, because in its current state, wet-weather races are practically unplayable. Also, the straight-line speed difference — both in dry and wet conditions — is another major imbalance that needs attention.

To be honest, I’m considering cancelling my EA Play Pro subscription if I don’t see improvements in these key areas in the near future.

Sincerely,
EPHYIX

After the latest update to the game, I started experiencing a lot of FPS drops in career mode races.There is no problem in TT, it only seems to be in career mode. Is there anyone else experiencing this problem?

EA_Groguet​  The phase 4 upgrades are still unavailable even after this patch.

I still cannot play this game after 2 months.....

This game is all broken, I bought it in advance and after two months I still haven't been able to play it.

Do you have any update on the fanatec SDK? Weather you implement it or not we deserve to know whats going on after months

hmm... the F2/Icon driver number issue fix getting delayed is very disappointing, is there an ETA of when the next patch will be drop? Can't it be just a quick fix?

Hi there since update game has had stability issues that make it almost unplayable, not sure why, as it worked perfectly fine before patch. There was 2 posts about it in technical issues and bug reports but it just gets massive frame drops and input lag

So far, they've been releasing a patch every other Monday so presumably the next patch would drop August 4th.
