It was just some backend updates, nothing visible to players and so there are no patch notes.
Thanks.

I'm still on v1.12 myself - just started the game and even restarted Steam, but.. no update for me..Also, whatever is in this patch 1.13 (or hotfix), it would be cool if it would solve some of the issues found on the actual patch 1.12 (or latest Podium Pass), like for example some new car liveries that are not allowing/showing the sponsors, like I mentioned here:

- @SexyBrigadeiro Don’t know why sexiness. But those liveries with black background. Can’t have any sponsors added. I’m actually shocked it’s the first one that you can edit the colour.
I have Fireball, Lando Norris, Fire dragon(which I’d love to use as they are almost my team colours anyway) and the stupid fish lantern. In the black collection and can’t add sponsors to any @ScarDuck14
@EA_Barry
I understand, mate and I noticed some of the other skins (recent and older) can't get any sponsors either, BUT.. to be honest, I think that's just a terrible decision (from whoever thought that was 'cool') and makes some of these liveries almost pointless, if you just can't fully configure them as you want it - the decision to add sponsors or not should be UP TO THE PLAYERS and not to some random dev(s) who thought "oh, this livery looks better withOUT sponsors, so adding sponsors to it will NOT be allowed".. I mean.. What is the actual 'benefit', 'gain', or 'positive side' of blocking sponsors on some liveries?!.. (all you get with that are angry/frustrated and complaining players - as if F1 22 didn't have enough already, am I right?!..)Sorry if I sound a bit rude/harsh, but I'm just a bit frustrated myself - the livery looks great, but without sponsors, it looks a bit 'dead' to me, so it's kinda pointless to use it (or for it to simply exist).
I'm glad I didn't exactly pay for them (as they're part of the Podium Pass, which I actually 'paid' for, using some of my Pit Coins - dang it!), but I'd be even more upset if they were, for example, some paid weekly item that you only find out about the sponsors not being allowed after you already spent your Pit Coins to get it - just frustrating - as a lot of other things in this game, which have the potential to be great and super fun, but you just can't play it as you want it, or do all the things that you want in it.. it feels there's always a 'but..' or a 'catch' - geez..
Please, whoever decided about blocking sponsors on some liveries, RE-THINK this and ALLOW the players to configure the liveries as they want (by adding sponsors or not) - many thanks in advance - now let me go and stop using that great, but pointless livery - grrrrr!!..
- @SexyBrigadeiro If you don’t already have the matching race suit and gloves for the Fireball livery. I hate having to tell you this. But you can have sponsors on those🥹
- @ScarDuck14 I actually do and I already knew about it, mate and that's the only reason why I'm keeping the race suit and the gloves, but I'll drop the best part, which is the car livery, because as I said before, it looks 'dead' and just boring without the sponsors, even if the livery itself looks great - that's a waste of a good looking car - really just a shame..
=/ Don’t you think for pure clarity that we should know what we are downloading to modify a product we’ve paid for?
Or did 1.12 screw something up, so a hot fix was released and EA doesn’t want us to know what was screwed up and then fixed?
… Looks like Michael Masi isn’t the only one to sign an NDA in 2022 🤔😆
- @drewgriffiths I imagine all EA staff and volunteers🙄😜 have to sign a NDA.
