FPS drops in LAN Game mode after ~40–50 minutes
We usually play F1 together as a family on PS5 using LAN Game mode, almost every day. Since September 16, we've noticed the frame rate starts dropping after about 40–50 minutes of play, and it gets progressively worse the longer we continue. Closing and reopening the game temporarily fixes the issue. This wasn't happening before — we used to be able to play for much longer without any problems. All of us are using PS5 Slim consoles, and we're all experiencing the FPS drop at roughly the same time during a session.26 Mod Graphics Isuses
Hi, just thought I'd start a post on here because I've been having constant issues with the graphics on the season pack mod. Regardless of the settings I put the game on, whether low or high, the game is just not smooth at all. It's worst on high graphics of course, but even when I put it very low and the worst settings, it's still not smooth compared to previous games. When I say not smooth, just stuttering and freezing, unlike other f1 games where I've had no graphics issues whatsoever. I've tried loads of different youtube video settings, as well as the ones the esports drivers use but still having issues. Updated Nvidia drivers and windows etc. I'm stuck for answers now to be honest. Anyone have any ideas on what I should try? As I said, previous games, 24, 23, 22 no problems whatsoever. Thanks!F1 25 PC - Stuttering, Lag Spikes and FPS Drop Problems
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has a last minute idea because I've been troubleshooting this for hours and can't figure out what's causing it. I recently started getting severe stuttering in F1 25 where my FPS drops from around 60 to about 50 during spikes. It happens around corners and sometimes on straights, across multiple tracks. This was not happening like this before. Things I've tried: All mods removed and the problem still happened. EGO Database Editor completely closed and the problem still happened. Tested Ultra Low, Medium and High graphics settings and the problem still happened. Ray tracing is OFF. Verified the F1 25 files through Steam and it didn't fix it. Completely reinstalled F1 25 and it didn't fix it. Updated my NVIDIA driver and it helped temporarily. Cleared the NVIDIA shader cache and this gave the biggest improvement, but the stuttering eventually returned. Tested with other programs closed and with different Career saves and the problem still happened. I used SERPs/BYPASS, but the issue also occurs with no mods enabled. My livery mods and tyre/sound mods don't appear to be the main cause. I also launched the base game directly from Steam and still get the lag spikes and FPS drops. I'm on Windows 11, NVIDIA GPU, 16 GB RAM and a 144 Hz monitor. At this point I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or knows of one last thing I could try, particularly regarding F1 25 frame pacing, shaders, NVIDIA or SERPs. Thanks!
since a few days ago, serious stutters appear
I don't know why, I have been playing F1 26 Season Pack for a while, suddenly, started from a few days ago, the gaming started to experience serious stutters, which has been keeping interrupting my gaming, is there anything happening on EA side? It's quite urgent, thanks a lot Wayne
My game is unusable due to freezing and glitching
Hi all, any help would be appreciated. My game is constantly freezing/ stuttering every few seconds across all modes (career and TT), throwing my wheel around left and right with snaps that after and during the freezes and glitches. It is doing this across all graphics settings and even in windowed mode. PC Specs: 5060ti, Ryzen 5 9600X, 32GB RAM, X870 Gaming Plus motherboard, and the game is installed on my SSD. I use a Logitech G29 for my wheel so I have GHUB running. This never used to happen before and for the past few weeks I have been trying to fix but to no success. Any help to make this game usable would be great!VR Wobble / jitter when in Car
This issue has persisted since 23 /24 and makes the game unplayable. When in game, there is a head tracking problem which gives the feeling of "wobbling", and it seems to be that the tracking is delayed or out of sync, causing stutter when moving your head. This causes instant sickness and makes it unplayable. I'm yet to find a post in the community with a fix and it seems to be a very common issue. My specs: 5700x3d 32GB Ram Nvidia 5070TI Quest 3 via SteamVR (Link cable and virtual desktop) running at 90hz Tried a wide range of settings, including dropping everything to the minimum. No avail.F1 25 Car textures and menu issues after update on Xbox
Hello, I am experiencing severe graphical and performance issues in F1 25 on my Xbox console. The car textures and models do not load properly during gameplay. There is noticeable stuttering and lagging in the game menus. These issues started right after the latest season update. I didn't have any of these problems in F1 24, and everything was working fine in F1 25 before this specific update. I have already tried performing a factory reset on my Xbox console to resolve the glitches, but the issue still persists. Could you please look into this bug? Thank you.Penalty System Is Broken
Dear EA Sports F1 Team, I have been buying the F1 games every single year because I genuinely love Formula 1. That is exactly why I am taking the time to write this message. Unfortunately, I have reached a point where the frustration outweighs the enjoyment. The biggest issue is the penalty and steward system. It is one of the most frustrating systems I have ever experienced in a racing game, and in many situations it simply does not work correctly. Here are just a few examples: A driver suddenly stops or spins across the track, leaving me with no realistic chance of avoiding the collision. I hit them because there is nowhere to go, yet I receive the penalty. During a Safety Car period, I paused the game. After resuming, I was suddenly given a 10-second penalty without any explanation. There are countless situations where another driver crashes into me, but I am the one who receives the penalty. I have received track limits penalties even after watching the replay and confirming that I never exceeded the track limits. Being penalized for something that clearly did not happen is unacceptable. There have been many races where I am already ahead or fully alongside another driver through a corner, they drive straight into the side of my car, spin me around, and somehow I receive the penalty. At times, it genuinely feels as though penalties are being assigned randomly rather than based on what actually happened on track. That completely destroys the racing experience. Another major issue is the online multiplayer experience. Too many races are ruined by players who have no intention of racing fairly. As soon as they realize they are losing, they deliberately crash into other drivers just to ruin someone else’s race. It wastes the time of players who simply want to enjoy clean racing. I believe there should be stronger systems to prevent intentional collisions. For example, if a player is approaching another car at an unrealistic speed and it is obvious they are making no attempt to brake or avoid contact, the game should recognize this as intentional wrecking. In situations like these, the offending car—or both cars if necessary—could temporarily become ghosted so that the collision never happens. It is much better to prevent an obvious intentional crash than to ruin an innocent player’s race. The current Safety Rating system also needs significant improvement. While the A, B, C and D ratings are a good idea in theory, they do not effectively separate clean racers from players who intentionally ruin races. Respectful drivers continue to be matched with people who have no respect for fair competition or for other players’ time. Please introduce better matchmaking, more intelligent collision detection, stronger penalties for intentional wrecking, and better protection for clean drivers. Formula 1 is supposed to be about precision, respect, strategy and skill. Instead, many online races become demolition derbies because there are too few consequences for players who intentionally destroy the race for others. I am also disappointed by the amount of new content. As someone who buys the game every year, I expected meaningful improvements and new experiences. Instead, it often feels like a seasonal update with very few substantial additions, while long-standing gameplay issues remain unresolved. Players continue paying full price, yet fundamental systems such as penalties and race stewarding still do not function reliably. This is not only my opinion. Thousands of players have been reporting these same issues for years. The community wants cleaner racing, fairer penalties, and a game that rewards skill instead of punishing innocent drivers. I truly want this series to succeed because I have supported it for years. However, if these problems continue without meaningful improvements, I will seriously reconsider buying future F1 titles. That would be disappointing because this has always been my favorite racing franchise. Please listen to your community. We are not asking for perfection—we are asking for a fair, enjoyable, and polished racing experience. Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope this feedback reaches the development team. Kind regards, Krzzysztof
