1.8.22 ​

Swofty Launcher for F1 25 1.8.22 adds a welcome wizard, redesigns Settings, lets you move your addons and saves from Settings and finds them when they end up in another folder, shows the Addon Browser as rows per category, and makes Play respond the moment you press it.

Welcome wizard ​

  • The first time the launcher opens, and once after this update, a welcome wizard asks for your language and for PC or TV mode. Each choice applies as you pick it. Skip or Esc closes it, and both choices stay in Settings.

Settings ​

  • Settings is now split into General, Display, Storage, Advanced and About, picked from a list on the left.
  • Language is a dropdown that names each language in its own words. Display switches between PC and TV mode. About shows the launcher version and whether an update is available.
  • Storage shows where your addons and saves are, how much room they take and what takes it, with Clear old for session logs and Clear for the game drive copy.

Your addons and saves ​

  • Settings > Storage > Move… moves your addons, profiles, backups and logs to another folder or drive without the installer. The launcher locks while it copies, checks the copy, then restarts into the new folder. Cancel stops it until the copy is done, and a move interrupted by a crash or power cut finishes or rolls back on the next start.
  • When the launcher starts with none of your addons and finds a folder that has them, such as one left behind after a reinstall or a drive change, it asks We found your addons and saves. Use them switches to that folder after a restart and keeps the empty one aside. Settings > Storage > Find my addons runs the same search.
  • The installer always moves an existing install and never moves your addons and saves with it. It shows Your addons and saves stay at …, asks one question only when you install to another drive, and keeps the folder choice under Advanced. When it finds your addons in another folder, it offers to use them.
  • Launcher text says "your addons and saves" where it used to say "data folder".

Addon Browser ​

  • All addons shows one row per category that scrolls sideways, with compact cards, arrows that page through the row, the left and right keys, and See all for the full category.

Play ​

  • Pressing Play shows Checking addons… at once while the launcher checks your addons in the background, instead of the window freezing for a few seconds with many addons on.

Languages ​

  • The launcher's text can be shown in Russian and Simplified Chinese, from Settings > General > Language or the welcome wizard. Text that isn't translated yet stays in English.

Fixes ​

  • Play is no longer refused when one addon adds a resource that another addon already replaces. The later addon in the load order wins, and the build log names both.
  • A replaced amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll, such as an FSR 4 drop-in, no longer stops Play with "Your game files have been edited". The launcher never writes or restores that file. F1_25.exe and steam_api64.dll must still be Steam's.
  • Renaming a profile keeps its saves.
  • TV mode no longer lays pages out too wide.

For addon creators ​

  • A requirement of * now matches pre-release versions, and other ranges treat a pre-release as its base version. = pins stay exact.
  • An addon installed from the Addon Browser must be the addon and version the catalogue lists. An addon's helper program only answers a drag-and-drop while its addon is on.
