ERS deployment not working correctly in F1 25 cars after 2026 Season Pack update
Platform: Playstation 5 Game version: 1.020.000 Report code: KSTR-LLBP-JLJB-VTMB Modes tested: My Team Career, Time Trial, Grand Prix and Multiplayer Grand Prix Car Type: F1 25 cars, not 2026 cars Description: Since the 2026 Season Pack update, the F1 25 cars feel significantly slower than before, especially on long straights. I have tested this in multiple modes, including My Team Career, Time Trial, Grand Prix and Multiplayer Grand Prix, and the issue seems to happen in all of them. The main problem is that the car feels like it is missing straight-line speed. In online races, other players pull away from me very quickly on the straights, almost as if my car has much less power or is not using ERS correctly. My driving itself feels normal, but the speed difference on the straights is so large that online racing has become almost unplayable. I also notice this in My Team Career. I use AI difficulty 90. Before the update, I could usually compete for points and sometimes even podiums, while my teammate was often near the back. In Qualifying Pace practice programmes, I could normally reach the purple target quite comfortably. Since the update, I struggle to even reach the green target and I also struggle much more against my teammate. I use Team Telemetry to monitor ERS behaviour, including Harvest MGU-K, Harvest MGU-H and Deployed. At first I noticed that the Deployed value sometimes stopped changing after a few seconds, even when Hotlap or Normal mode should have been deploying ERS on a straight. Recently, the issue does not always look like a complete stop anymore, but it still feels like ERS is not being used fully or aggressively enough. Another thing I noticed is that I can sometimes keep Overtake mode enabled for a very long time without the battery draining as expected. In Hotlap mode, there also seems to be too much ERS remaining after a lap compared to before the update. Expected behaviour: The F1 25 cars should have similar straight-line speed and ERS behaviour to before the 2026 Season Pack update, unless this was an intentional and documented change. Hotlap and Overtake mode should use ERS properly and drain the battery at a normal rate. Steps to reproduce: Start a session with the F1 25 cars, not the 2026 cars. Test in My Team Career, Time trial, Grand Prix or multiplayer Grand Prix. Drive on a track with long straights. Use Normal, Hotlap or Overtake mode. Compare Straight-line speed and ERS battery usage to how the game behaved before the 2026 Season pack update. Optionally monitor ERS behaviour with telemetry: Harvest MGU-k, Harvest MGU-H and Deployed. Summary: The issue seems to be that the F1 25 cars have lost straight-line speed after the update, possibly because ERS is not being deployed or consumed correctly. This affects multiple game modes, including online races, and makes the cars feel much slower than before.ERS deployment not working correctly in F1 25 cars after 2026 Season Pack update

On multiplayer you will look behind you and you game will freeze you in place for roughly 1-10 seconds and if your the leader of lobby the race result won't save on racenet for example. When you go on cutseens you will experience like 1 frame every 5-10 second before loading back into the game with freezing for example when you get the f1 rewind screen exiting a rewind This bug takes place what I've seen in the month it's been happening every 1-5 races resulting in completely having to restart the xbox series s Problems .Game doesn't save race result .Cutseens lag around 1 frame every 5 second. .Looking behind you from rear wing view freeze game for 1-10 second while you are staying in one place for other players Thank you for taking your time reading this and I hope you try to find a solution for the series s players on this gameF1 World Invitationals Force All Assists ON and Reduce Tech Level
All F1 World Invitationals are forcing a full assist preset and locking all assist options. I normally play with the Elite preset: Manual gearbox No ABS No traction control No steering assist No braking assist In Time Trial and Solo F1 World events, everything works correctly and my assist settings remain fully customizable. However, in every Invitational I have tested: Steering Assist = ON Braking Assist = HIGH ABS = ON Traction Control = FULL Automatic Gearbox = ON All assist settings are locked and cannot be changed I have tested multiple different Invitationals, including newly available events, and they all show the same restrictions. Additional observation: My normal Tech Level is 693. In these Invitationals, it is reduced to approximately 580. Troubleshooting already performed: Restarted the game Restarted the PC Tested multiple Invitationals Verified that Elite settings work normally in Time Trial and Solo F1 World Report Code: HKRM-PTXM-GJCP-JSGDGame freezes when playing it with a wheel in Xbox series S
Last week I bought a G923 for Xbox, I’ve been using it these days and when I began to play with the wheel the game start to freeze during the race, in time trials o multiplayer and it makes the experience quite uncomfortable as it doesn’t looks smooth as it should be. I’ve restarted the game, I’ve restarted the console, I’ve reinstalled the game multiples times, updated the G923 wheel and the problem remains. And if it’s a wheel problem it should happen in other games but I’ve played forza horizon 6 and the game never freezes. Report code: RZBK-KCRX-LLDZ-JDLJRed Bull cockpit view
The Red Bull cockpit view is completely wrong - the steering wheel is so low down in the cockpit, in real life the top of the wheel is slightly above the bulkhead - see attached Verstappen helmet cam. The car is off putting to drive with the wheel information screen so incorrectly low downGameplay Stuttering in Xbox series S
Last week I was playing F1 25 when suddenly the game started freezing out of nowhere, it began to be very repetitive and it really affects the gameplay. It happens playing career mode, online mode, time trial, basically everywhere and is weird since 2-3 weeks ago it was perfectBOOST mode does not disable when I release button I binded to it.
So the problem is, whenever I use BOOST mode -in Carreer mode-, even after I release it, stays enabled therefore costing me a lot of battery. It is really annoying because I can not use it whenever and wherever I want to use it. I had a similar experience with F1 24 before, the problem never got fixed. However in F1 25 the problem was solved so I can not comprehend how this can be an issue in the same game, since the only difference is basically a DLC. I saw this problem at other youtubers also, but I am guessing it is not a problem for those who use preset ERS modes. Please also not that this happens while ERS preset is set to "None". In addition I checked with several key bindings, still does the same.Hitting debris giving me DT penalty while SC is out
I don't know whats happening to these bugs, but this bug literally ruin my race (not that deep tho). Any idea whats happening that i got DT because Im clipping through some debris. My suspicion is that debris detected as whole other car yet theres no collision involved into actual car. Heres some evidence, i didnt record while im driving so i give my friend's POV and you can see the confusion between us in the videoVibrations turning off on controller
Randomly in online races, usually when someone in the lobby is lagging, all vibrations either reduce to a low setting or completely stop on PS5 and it makes the car extremely difficult to drive. A quick fix is to pause and un-pause the game, bringing back vibrations momentarily until they break again, usually within a lap. An easy fix would be to make vibrations client side if possible to avoid lag breaking them. This has been happening for the whole of F1 25, but since the 2026 DLC released it seems to have gotten worse. As far as I know this only affects PS5.
