Those still enjoying F1 22 can look forward to some new changes in the form of Patch 1.09, which is now available.
Unlike the previous patch we covered, Patch 1.06 which slightly overhauled car performance to be more realistic, this update is less subdued with its changes hoping to tighten up some aspects of the gameplay.
The gearbox rev-limiter, radio commands, tyre temperatures and penalties are some of the standouts here.
In reaction to the patch on the Steam Community some of the fixes are lauded but others are asking for more changes to other aspects which need fixing with several comments about VR.
Comments about problems in VR continue on Reddit with users also asking, like with previous patches, for AI of CPU-controller racers to be fixed up.
With this problem continually mentioned with every patch of F1 22 we have to wonder when publisher EA and developer Codemasters will finally address it.
Until then the full Patch 1.09 notes can be found below:
- Fixed an issue where the automatic gearbox hits rev-limiter for too long before upshifting
