1.5.25 ​

Swofty Launcher for F1 25 1.5.25 fixes Restart as administrator, lets you cancel a slow build, and fixes crashes in practice at community tracks and in the Showroom.

Launcher ​

  • Restart as administrator no longer closes the launcher. It crashed as Windows showed its prompt.
  • While Play builds or copies the mods, the play bar shows how far it got, with Cancel. Cancelling stops between files and puts the game folder back as it was. Pressing Play again while a build runs says so instead of asking you to close F1 25.
  • Installing, updating or removing an addon that a running build uses waits until the build finishes or is cancelled.
  • A build step that takes more than 10 minutes no longer stops Play with "has written nothing for 10 minutes".
  • A build left behind by a launcher that closed mid-build is cleaned up the next time the launcher starts.
  • Mods did not load names the program that carries a Windows compatibility setting, such as the EA app, and says how to clear it.
  • Errors from the launcher window, such as an import or an addon install that fails, are written to the launcher's log, so Send Logs includes them.

In game ​

  • Driver Career practice at a community track, such as Sepang or Valencia, no longer crashes as the car leaves the garage. Track Acclimatisation has no targets at those tracks.
  • The Showroom in F1 World no longer crashes with team packs made for an older version of F1 25 that rename or remove the game's own entrant lists. The build keeps those lists and names the addon.
  • Opening the Showroom no longer turns off career addons such as Progressive Career for the rest of the session.

Addons ​

  • Career Mode Editor 0.3.5 (already out): your own ratings can be changed in Driver Career, and calendar edits keep the season's number of rounds. Season > Repair the round count fixes a career edited with 0.3.4 or older.

For addon makers ​

  • Launcher plugins get a colour form field and a colour table cell, with a picker, and "transparent": true on pictures to draw them without the box behind them. Designed by milad. See Launcher API.
