1.5.2

Swofty Launcher for F1 25 1.5.2 fixes the game stopping a few seconds after an addon drew over it, such as Manual Pit Lane's messages or Canned DNFs + Safety Car. An addon made for a newer launcher no longer stops the launcher from loading addons, and the Addon Browser opens on category tiles.

Addons that draw over the game

• The game no longer stops shortly after an addon draws over it with DLSS Frame Generation or XeSS Frame Generation loaded. These crashes came from your Send Logs reports.
• Drawing goes only to the picture the game presents, on the queue the game presents with. SwoftyMod no longer holds the game's frame buffers or hooks window resizes.
• While frame generation is on in the game's settings, nothing is drawn over the game. The addons keep running.
• When the graphics card stops responding shortly after something was drawn, drawing stops for the rest of that session.
• The Addons list tags an addon Draws over the game or Changes the picture, and its panel has an In game row. See Addons.
• Send Logs lists the addons that draw over the game and whether they drew in each session.

Addons from newer launchers

• An addon made for a newer Swofty Launcher, or one whose swofty.json is damaged, no longer stops the launcher and every swofty command. It's listed under Can't be used with the reason, and builds leave it out. See Addons that can't be used.
• A profile with settings from a newer launcher still loads, and keeps those settings.

Addon Browser

• The Addon Browser opens on a tile for each category: Seasons, Tracks, Cars, Helmets, Shaders and Other. Each tile shows how many addons it holds and the icons of its most starred addons.
• All addons below the tiles lists every addon, and Categories above the list goes back to the tiles. See Addon Browser.

For addon makers

• SWOFTY_FRAME_CAPTURE=<folder> writes the presented frame, overlay included, to PNG files, and SWOFTY_KEEP_FOCUS=1 keeps the game running when its window loses focus. See Logging.
