F1 Manager 2024 launched last week, bringing a host of new requested features to the franchise. For the first time, inspiring F1 team principals can create and manage their own team, from designing custom liveries to negotiating sponsors. A new driver mentality system also gives staff more unique personalities.
One week after launch, a post-launch update has deployed, with update 1.4 resolving several issues that affected the game at launch.
Chiefly, F1 Manager 2024’s latest update fixes bugs where contract counter offers were not received and AI teams were developing the same car parts during a season. Additionally, update 1.4 improves the stability, resolving crashes when changing and saving liveries among other scenarios.
Alongside bug fixes, the patch also updates the Williams steering wheel for the 2024 season.
For a full list of changes, check out the patch notes below.
