Issues under Investigation in the F1 25 Bugs Tracker

Issues under investigation in the F1 25 Bugs Tracker are bugs and performance issues that have already been acknowledged by EA. Here are all the issues currently being investigated by the developer:

AI

According to players, a series of uncompetitive race starts from AI opponents has resulted in unfair gameplay and difficulties earlier on in the race.

---

Career

Career mode has a persistent bug where players are unable to sign for a team after Season 3, resulting in difficulty when trying to progress past that milestone.

---

Graphics

Several graphics issues comprise a majority of the F1 25 Bugs Tracker. One of the biggest issues reported by players is the ghosting when using FSR/Frame Generation. An update to the FSR used in-game will be made in a future patch to resolve this issue.

Apart from this, PS5 Pro users have complained of ghosting issues when following cars in spectator mode. PC players have noticed incorrect specular highlights in the driver's eyes, resulting in distracting and improper visuals. Additionally, there is an issue with the lighting under wheels in photo mode when Path Tracing is enabled from the graphics settings.

---

Gameplay issues

Many players have observed gameplay issues in F1 25 when triggering Rewind/Flashback during a race. Using this feature causes random car problems, such as DRS issues or problems with the wings that were previously resolved in the pitstop. Any fixes during the pitstop are reverted, causing a distinct handicap during gameplay.

---

Peripherals

Players using peripherals such as controllers and wheels have also complained of issues with the in-game wheel vibrations not matching the actual wheel when using Asetek's products.

---

User Interface

The User Interface has majorly contributed to the list of issues in the F1 25 Bugs Tracker. Players have stated that there is a persistent issue that causes the XP boost logo to be missing on the post-session results screen.

Additionally, many users are unable to move the OSD (on-screen display) elements freely, limiting their ability to customise it according to their needs. This issue has also persisted in the unexpected capitalization of texts on the elements in the OSD.

---

Stability

Many stability issues have also been reported in F1 25, resulting in gameplay issues for players. One of the most common problems faced by players is the frequent crashing of the game on PC. However, the majority of these issues were resolved with a simple update to the graphics drivers to ensure they are updated.

Additionally, PC players also faced crashes and unexpected termination when running the game on a triple-screen setup. Players can resolve this problem by disabling DLSS till the developers come up with a definitive resolution in the next patch.

---

Tracks

Tracks are one of the highlights of F1 25, with the LIDAR-powered enhancements offering players an immersive experience. However, the Monaco 'Two-Stop' strategy is not being applied correctly in certain circumstances, resulting in a major competitive disadvantage during races.

Additionally, many players have reported a collision issue in Bahrain, which results in the cars falling out of the map and making the race unplayable. Apart from this, there are reports of small track bumps at turn 14 in Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the Spanish GP.

---

VR

Players have reported a significant head-tracking issue that results in jitters when playing F1 25 VR on PC.

---

Issues awaiting a patch in the F1 25 Bugs Tracker

Here are the issues in the F1 25 Bugs Tracker that have been acknowledged but have not yet received a resolution via a patch:

Career

A persistent issue where the Constructor's goal is showing as failed despite meeting or even exceeding said goal. On top of this, driver accolades are not updated with the results from 2024, making the gameplay inaccurate. Players have also reported instances of incorrect driver numbers assigned in My Team.

---

Graphics

A heavily reported graphics issue results in tyre smoke effects being rendered incorrectly when ABS is disabled. Players can resolve this by disabling particles in the graphics settings, offering a temporary workaround till EA pushes an update for it.

---

Audio

The F1 25 Bugs Tracker has certain audio issues that are awaiting a patch from EA. Players have reported that the 'Teammate Status' radio request is not working as intended. This essentially creates an issue for multiplayer or single-player sessions where the teammates' positions are crucial for planning pit stops or strategies.

Additionally, F1 25 currently has the incorrect F1 theme music used in-game, resulting in a break from the immersion and factual gameplay accuracy.

---

Tracks

Players have reported that certain small track bumps at turn 15 of the Suzuka circuit. On top of this, a glitch allows players to drive through the pit exit wall in the Miami GP.
