1.5.15
Swofty Launcher for F1 25 1.5.15 tells you why the game crashed or why mods didn't load, builds and boots faster, and gives Progressive Career each season's team logos and driver ratings.
Launcher
- When F1 25 crashes, the launcher opens a full-window screen that names the cause and how to fix it: a graphics driver reset, running out of graphics memory, programs such as RivaTuner, Windhawk or Medal, ReShade or OptiScaler in the game folder, and crashes in the graphics driver or in frame generation. When it can't tell, it offers Send Logs to Developers and the support Discord. The play bar's What happened opens it again. Closing the game no longer shows as a crash. See When F1 25 crashes.
- Mods did not load names the real cause instead of blaming your antivirus: Exploit protection settings on F1_25.exe, its compatibility settings, or an antivirus other than Microsoft Defender, by name. When it can't tell, it offers Send Logs to Developers and the support Discord. An install whose loader folder is gone says to reinstall. See Windows.
- A read-only file left in the game folder no longer blocks every Play, and "Access is denied" errors name the file.
- A missing addon requirement names the addon and what to do. An addon that's on but not installed is left out instead of stopping the build, and Classic Seasons without a season addon says which to install.
- Play is faster after a launcher update: profiles that haven't changed aren't rebuilt, and rebuilding compresses much faster. Big builds report their progress, so they're no longer stopped after 10 minutes. The launcher does less work while you play.
- Turning an addon off and on again reuses the archives that didn't change instead of rebuilding them. See the CLI reference.
In game
- Less stutter in the menus from Swofty's career tracking, and a faster start with post-processing addons.
Addons
- Progressive Career 1.2.0:
- Every team logo and badge in a career, from Team HQ and the standings to the timing tower and broadcast graphics, shows the career year's logo.
- Every driver takes the season's real ratings at the start of each season, from EA's launch ratings for 2020 to 2025 and a model of each season's results for 2016 to 2019. Your driver starts with his start-year ratings and develops from there. Choose Driver shows the start year's ratings.
