F1 Manager 2022’s Update 1.6 fixes some visual quirks, helps with the overall stability of the game, and adds a minor new feature. Now available on PC, Xbox and PlayStation.
After the launch of F1 Manager 2022 on the 25e August digital or 30e physically, the first post-release patch landed on PC 31st. Now, from today (5e September), this update is also available for PlayStation and Xbox players.
Update 1.6 is bulky, with a long list of minor item changes. The vast majority of adjustments concern the images. While most of the gameplay is in menus and you can just watch a track tracker above 4x speed, F1 Manager 2022 adds a fully 3D modeled representation of a race day.
Now, floating tires in cutscenes, underground cameras, double-stack pit stop issues and the liveries for both Scuderia AlphaTauri and Oracle Red Bull Racing cars have all been zapped, according to the patch notes.
Cars should no longer teleport after a mid-race dropout.
Another important element in the presentation of the title is the knowledge of David Croft and Karun Chandhok. Now, when drivers are at the back of the grid, the issue where they sometimes said they were at the front has been resolved.
There are also solutions for the simulation, such as newly fitted gearboxes that now wear at the correct speed, a balancing of incidents on the Zandvoort circuit and a reduced impact on car performance by adding ‘Focus’ to new part designs. Instances of game crashes and soft locks should also be reduced.
A small new feature has also been added. All records for highest ever season income and highest ever team rating are now stored in-game via the player profile.
The full changelog is below, and we’ll let you know when new updates are released.
