It’s time for yet another F1 2021 game patch, with Codemasters firing out regular updates to address issues flagged by the community.
Patch 1.07 is out today on PlayStation, Xbox and PC with a host of tweaks across all three platforms.
With its brief removal in Patch 1.06, 3D audio thankfully makes a return to the PS5 version of the game, following the return of ray tracing in 1.05 and revised DualSense feedback in 1.06.
For those playing on Xbox who were not able to join online races thanks to the WS10004 error, this has now been resolved.
Meanwhile, on PC, those with a snazzy ultrawide screen will no longer see a change in-game resolution when viewing a highlight or replay. A whole host of UDP changes have also been implemented.
Across all platforms, further difficulty balancing has taken place across several of the Braking Point chapters, a ‘Very Short’ race length option has been added to the session length filter in online social play, the incorrect positions are no longer awarded after an hour-long F2 race and the issues where players could start a lap ahead at certain tracks no longer exists.
There’s the full list in the changelog below. We’ll keep you updated on further updates for the game, whether that is refinements, changes to the in-game performance of the three new tracks due post-release.
