After more than a week of waiting the first post-release patch is on the way, welcome to F1 23 Update 1.05! This update will fix a number of pressing bugs that have forced fans to turn certain features off completely.
Available across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC "in the coming days", Codemasters is being oddly vague about the date for this patch, but at least we know what will be in the upcoming patch to F1 23.
UPDATE: Since publication this patch has since gone live across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC
Red flag fix, added to 25% race
The biggest fix in Update 1.05 is a fix to the red flag bug. This issue would give incorrect finishing positions for any race where a red flag came out. Rather than taking the final result, the game would give the result at the time the red flag was thrown.
It, along with the safety car, has also been added as an option for 25% races, allowing players to get the full experience even if they don't have time for a long race.
Other fixes
Several other key details are going to be corrected in F1 23 Update 1.05. Sponsor decals will finally appear on race suits & helmets in My Team, while the F2 save crash is getting fixed.
Realistic performance is coming back to two-player career, while TrueForce will be enabled for Logitech wheels on PlayStation and PC.
