F1 25 PS5 - ERS Not Deploying in Qualifying / Battery Locked at 100%

Report Code: BCDX R2RR KRJB VTMB

 

Platform: PS5

Mode: Qualifying

 

Issue: ERS does not deploy on any qualifying push lap. The battery enters every timed lap at 100% charge. When the overtake button is pressed, the HUD shows 'Deploying' but the battery remains at 100% and no power is delivered. The car receives no ERS benefit throughout the entire lap.

 

Settings confirmed:

- ERS Assist: Off

- ERS Mode: Manual

- L1 assigned as overtake input

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter any qualifying session

2. Complete an out lap — battery charges to 100% by the start/finish line

3. Begin push lap and press ERS Overtake (L1)

4. HUD shows Deploying but battery stays at 100% for the full lap

 

Additional observations:

- The bug triggers every lap that starts at 100% battery

- Partially draining the battery on the out lap before crossing the line temporarily avoids the issue, but this should not be required

- MFD on PS5 only shows brake bias and differential — ERS page is not accessible

 

This makes qualifying unplayable in manual ERS mode. Every push lap is affected. A fix is needed urgently.
