Vibrations 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.
Energy deployment and fuel usage during raining are broken (F1 26 DLC)
When the track is wet, I'm unable to use ERS mode, but the battery still drains very quickly while the car struggles to reach top speed. It's almost impossible to keep up with the AI drivers on the straights. Moreover, the fuel usage is incredibly high when it's raining, even though I'm not usually on full throttle when exiting corners to keep the car on the track. Does anyone else suffer from a similar bug?
F1 25 stuck on "Starting EA Javelin AntiCheat" - eaanticheat.sys never installs
I'm playing F1 25 through Steam. The game worked fine for about 9 hours yesterday. Now every launch gets stuck on "Starting EA Javelin AntiCheat" and never reaches the game. I have already: Reinstalled F1 25. Verified game files. Repaired and reinstalled EA Javelin AntiCheat multiple times. Cleared the EA App cache. Restarted Windows. Ran Steam and the installer as Administrator. Ran DISM successfully. Ran SFC successfully with no integrity violations. During troubleshooting I found: Event Viewer: EA Javelin AntiCheat Event ID 1000 ExitType 95 (267) The EA AntiCheat service exists. The registry points to: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\eaanticheat.sys However, that file does not exist. The EA Javelin installer detects F1 25 and reports "Installation successful", but the driver is never installed. The registry key exists under: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EAAntiCheat ImagePath is: system32\drivers\eaanticheat.sys DISM and SFC both completed successfully. Windows Code Integrity shows no driver blocks. pnputil does not show an EA AntiCheat driver package. C:\ProgramData\eaanticheat is created but contains no logs or crash dumps. Windows 11 Version 25H2 OS Build 26200.8894 Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix?[Bug] Unrealistic AI Wet Weather Pace... AGAIN!
Platform: PC (Steam) Game Mode: Career Mode Track: Suzuka Circuit AI Level: 100% Control Device: Logitech G29 Description of the Issue: There is a massive discrepancy in AI pace between dry and wet track conditions on the Suzuka Circuit when playing at 100% AI difficulty. Dry Conditions: The balance is perfect. My lap times are completely competitive and equal to my teammate’s pace. Wet Conditions (Intermediate / Full Wet): As soon as the rain starts, the AI suddenly becomes 5 to 10 seconds per lap faster than humanly possible, despite using the correct compound for the conditions. The AI gains an immense, unnatural advantage specifically on corner exits and straight-line speed through wet sections, suggesting their traction physics and power delivery are unaffected by the low-grip surface. Background & History: This exact issue was already present in the original F1 25 (before 2026 seazon pack) and was reported multiple times by the community. Although previous bug report threads on this topic were marked as "Solved" / "Resolved" on the forums, the issue was never actually fixed in the game. Subsequent reports from players regarding this bug have been consistently ignored, yet the problem persists in the 2026 Season Pack. Expected Result: AI lap times in the wet should scale realistically, increasing by a similar margin as the player's lap times due to reduced grip. Actual Result: The player loses traction and time naturally, while the AI retains dry-like traction on corner exits, gaining up to 5–10 seconds per lap and dominating on straight lines. Additional Notes: This issue completely ruins wet weather sessions and races on higher AI difficulties, as the player cannot adjust the AI difficulty slider mid-session once the rain starts falling.UNREALISTIC CAR PERFORMANCES.
Ok so I know the DLC has only been out for a week and you are planning a future updates. But the car performances in the new 2026 DLC are so unrealistic particularly from the Aston Martin who are getting into Q3, as well as Williams who in real life have an overweight car so they should not be challenging for podiums. And also most of all Mercedes who have dominated the season since the start as well as Antonelli who has gone on an insane 5 win streak surely this is not a fluke. Just wanted to get the word out as quickly as possible
Game Crashing Loading Race Weekend
I recently got F1 25, Via EA Play, i have been having issues with loading races Every time I try to load a new weekend on "My Career" the game loads for a few seconds and stops responding and then crashes with no real errors. In "Event Viewer" i get this message "Event 1000, EA Javelin Anti Cheat" "The game f1_25.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x186AA" I have, repaired and reinstalled the game, also repaired and reinstalled the anti cheat, all my drivers are up to date and etc. I have tried everything that i could think of including other peoples forums but nothing has been able to fix it. Its really weird because sometimes it will load and ill have no issues, Yesterday i loaded to weekends in a row but before i crashed over 25 times trying to fix it. I have no idea why or what is causing it and it is becoming really frustrating for me.
X-Formig 1 Livery Number Position
Hi I have found that when using the X-Formig 1 livery the drivers number is covering half the sponsor on the front nose where as for the F1 25 model cars it’s half way down the nose after the sponsor has anyone else noticed this bit annoying as I’m using X-Formig as my career sponsor so like to keep the livery as there livery’s you know ? Have uploaded the picture of the 26 model and a picture of the 25 model I am also playing on PlayStation 5 thanks.
