1.7.29 ​

Swofty Launcher for F1 25 1.7.29 plays only copies of F1 25 installed by Steam or the EA app, fixes careers that crashed after another addon moved car ids or when a calendar round's track is missing, and logs cars whose tyres were never placed on their wheels.

Play ​

  • Modded play now runs only on a copy of F1 25 installed by Steam or the EA app. A copy in any other folder is refused, and so is a game folder with the files of a Steam emulator or crack. On a Steam copy, F1_25.exe and steam_api64.dll must be the files Steam installed; a changed one opens Your game files have been edited with the steps to verify them in Steam.
  • An EA app copy always starts through the EA app, including with swofty run --direct.

Saves ​

  • A career could crash or load forever after another addon took car ids its season used, even an addon that isn't in that profile. The launcher no longer moves a profile's cars and entrant lists for addons outside it, and maps a saved career's moved car, driver and list ids back to its own rows.

Careers ​

  • Starting a career race could crash when a calendar or schedule addon pointed a round at a track that's switched off or missing. The game now skips the missing event's extras instead of crashing, and the log names the calendar addon to check.

Addons ​

  • The log now names any car whose tyres were never placed on its wheels (bare rims), and the launcher warns when an addon's handling moves a car's wheels or changes its tyre size against the stock car.
  • Addons can change a car's slipstream (drag, wing and lift scales in a tow) while it drives. F1 1990 uses this to give the player a slightly stronger tow than the AI.

Send Logs ​

  • Send Logs now includes the launcher's car id files and a count of the car package ids in use (of 254), so "no free stat_id" problems can be diagnosed from one bundle.
