Lost all progress and dlc content in f1 26 on ps5
Hello EA Support, I am experiencing a serious issue with F1 26 on PlayStation 5. When I launched the game, it started as if I was playing for the first time. Since then, I have lost all of my game data, including: All custom car setups for every track. All customized items I purchased or unlocked. Cars, suits, helmets, gloves, and other customization items. Game progress and personal settings. My PlayStation Network account and EA account are the same accounts I have always used. I have not changed accounts, and my save data appears to have been overwritten after the game reset. I have already checked my PS5 console storage and cloud saves, but I cannot recover my previous data. Could you please investigate whether my EA profile or cloud data can be restored? If this is a known issue, I would appreciate any assistance in recovering my progress and purchased content. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply. Kind regards, EmersonCost cap bug still present
I started a new save just about a week ago. I simulated through the first season to qyuickly get to back to about where I was. Then I checked the finances and found that the visual bug with the cost cap is still present. Have it noted that this is not from the 2026 season pack. As the pictures shows season two begins to calculate from the amount that was spent in season 1. I thought this was supposed to be fixed in patch 1.04 over a year ago?
[MyTeam] Fan Rating won't level up on 2025 saves
Since the 2026 Season Pack update, Fan Rating is not leveling up anymore on 2025 saves in MyTeam mode. See the attached picture! My Fan Rating was on level 6, the bar is filled, but it doesn't level up to level 7. It has been like this for 5(!) races now, I even completed an accolade, but my Fan Rating stays the same. After every race, the results screen shows the bar filling up, but it never changes to level 7. It is a game breaking bug, since you can't increase the number of available spots for sponsor decals on the car! The bug is present on all 3 of my 2025 saves! The issue doesn't effect 2026 saves. EA_cuervo With respect, please forward this to the devs, and have them fix this ASAP! The 2026 DLC has caused several new bugs in the main game. This us unacceptable!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
[PC] My Team (2026) crashes instantly when advancing from Season 2 to Season 3
My Team career (2026 regulations), end of Season 2. On the "Season Complete" statistics screen, pressing Advance causes the game to freeze within about 1 second and close to desktop with no error message. This happens 100% of the time — I have tried it multiple times and it always crashes at exactly the same point. Important detail — driver market was already wird before the crash:** During the later part of Season 2, the option to send contract offers to drivers was missing completely. There was no button to approach or negotiate with drivers in the driver market. This looks very similar to the known F1 24 My Team contract/driver market bug that was fixed in F1 24 patches v1.7/v1.8, where the approach/renew buttons were missing and careers got stuck at the season transition. Career details that may be relevant: - End of Season 2, won the Constructors' Championship (and likely Drivers') - Lewis Hamilton retired at the end of Season 2 - My Team drivers: Lando Norris and Liam Lawson - Engine supplier: Ferrari - No achievements/accolades were awarded despite winning the championship (Season Complete screen shows Accolades Earned: 0), suggesting the season never finalizes Steps to reproduce: 1. Load the attached My Team save (2026 regulations, end of Season 2) 2. Press Continue to reach the "Season Complete" statistics screen 3. Press Advance 4. Game freezes within ~1 second and closes to desktop, no error message What I have already tried: - Verified game files through Steam (multiple times) - Checked Load Career — only one save exists, no earlier autosave to roll back to "I have the save files (savegame_profile from Steam userdata/3059520/remote) backed up and ready to send. The crash is 100% reproducible with this save — please let me know how to get it to you."Equal performance not working in time trial for 25 cars
Since the 26 update, equal performance for the 25 cars isn't working in time trial. I've gone from gaining time on every track to being miles off my delta. I'm exiting corners better but losing time and it makes no sense. I've seen a few posts about this, does anyone else have the same issue?
Academy choice in F2 is not valid for F1
When I start a career mode from F2 and choose Academy (whichever it is), once I reach F1, it no longer has a value in my recognition. I've attached two images, where you can see that in one, the Academy section of the rating has no percentage. This being the career mode I started with from F2. In the other image, you can see that the Academy value does have a percentage of 3.75%. But for this one, I started directly in F1. I hope you can take this into account and find a solution. Thank you. This happens on all platforms, but I report primarily from Xbox.
