F1® 2019 PATCH NOTES - v1.09
Patch 1.09 is now out on PC, and you can find the patch notes, and some further details on this patch and beyond, below:
 

  • Realistic performance can now be enabled in Leagues
  • ]AI can now be disabled when using official cars in Leagues
  • Skill rating rebalancing
  • Safety rating rebalancing
  • Balancing fixes for AI R&D progression in career
  • Added additional support for Fanatec wheels
  • Fixed an exploit on Time Trial in France
  • Tyre compounds have been updated in Brazil, USA & Mexico
  • Reduced off-track surface grip on approach to turn 12 in Brazil


With this patch, we’ve made some balancing fixes for AI R&D progression in career. These adjustments will be more noticeable the earlier you are in your career mode playthrough. The fixes may not be as immediately noticeable if you’re in the later seasons of your career.


Please note that with the release of this patch, we’ll be resetting the leaderboards for Brazil, USA, USA Short and Mexico due to slower tyre compounds being available on these tracks. Leaderboards have also been reset on France due to some unattainable times being set as the result of a now fixed exploit.


A final note from us: a lot of you are asking about the Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon switch and whether we’ll implement this in-game. We are planning on making the changes as soon as possible and we’ll be working with Red Bull and Toro Rosso on this once they return from the summer shutdown.

We are continuing to track down and fix more bugs and we’ll have more information about any further patches soon - if you notice anything about these notes that aren't right, or you think don't work as they should, please let us know in our discussion thread right here on Steam

Hi everyone!

In this patch, the performance order of the teams has been rebalanced to better replicate the F1 Season and how it has evolved since preseason testing.

This update affects both the car handling of your car and the performance of the AI cars. Individual team handling traits have been tailored to be more representative of their real-life counterparts, with updated aerodynamics achieving a performance improvement of between 1 – 1.5 seconds per lap, mainly in higher cornering speed, and vehicle performance has been updated to give a more accurate assessment of each car’s strengths and weaknesses. The other update that you’ve been asking us a lot about is F2 in multiplayer, this will be available in Unranked Multiplayer and LAN game in patch 1.05.

 
Here's the notes for this patch:
  • 2019 season performance updates
  • F2 is now available in Unranked Multiplayer and LAN
  • AI performance has been improved in wet weather for both F1 and F2 vehicle classes
  • Improvements to AI blocking behaviour
  • In photo mode changing shutter speed will no longer make the screen go black
  • Fanatec wheels will no longer send strong force feedback turning the wheel to the right on race starts
  • Rain / ERS charging lights now work on PS4 Pro
  • First Ten Down (Complete 10 races online) achievement will now unlock correctly
  • Stopped graphical glitches occurring and getting more frequent during long play sessions
 


Post patch 1.05, we are working through a number of updates which are a little further off, but these should all be made available over the next couple of months:
 
 
Paul Ricard Pit Lane Update – July/August

Visual Car Updates – August. You will be delighted to hear that we will be adding the Ferrari 90 Anniversary logo onto the engine cover as part of this update!

F2 2019 Season – September
