Hi EA Support,
I’ve encountered a serious issue in F1 25 that affects all of my career profiles. During my F2 career, at the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, I accidentally changed the difficulty setting between practice and qualifying. I reverted it immediately, but after that, the game seems to have locked in minimum AI difficulty, enabled all assists (steering assist, auto brake, ABS, traction control, etc.), and disabled flashbacks.
The problem is:
Any changes I make to difficulty or assists do not stick — they reset either instantly or after loading a session.
This issue is no longer limited to the original save: it now affects all of my career profiles, including newly created ones.
The bug appears to have corrupted or overwritten global player settings or configs.
Steps I’ve tried:
Exiting to main menu and reloading different careers
Editing global and in-session settings
Starting fresh profiles and quick races
Checking for the latest updates
So far, nothing has fixed the issue. I suspect changing difficulty mid-session triggered a game-wide configuration bug.
Additional info:
Platform: [PC]
Game version: F1 25 (latest patch as of June 2025)
Mode: F2 Career (initial trigger), now affecting all modes
Affected session: Spain GP (between Practice and Qualifying)
Flashbacks are disabled with no option to re-enable them
Please advise whether there is a known workaround, or if a patch is in the works. At this point, the game is unplayable for me without full reset or dev-side fix.
Thanks in advance!
