1.9.23 ​

Swofty Launcher for F1 25 1.9.23 makes My Team careers with More Engine Suppliers load safely, brings career addons back on the EA app copy and adds a Customisation card to the home menu.

  • The home menu has a Customisation card again. It opens the game's Customisation screen, where you change your helmet, race suit, gloves, car and badges, and Back returns to the home menu. Since 1.9 the home menu had no way into it.

Fixes ​

  • My Team careers made with More Engine Suppliers no longer lose that car. 1.9.21 and 1.9.22 could leave an engine supplier's car out of a career while it loaded, even when More Engine Suppliers was on and the car was there, and the career then crashed going into a session. The launcher now checks the game's own data first and only leaves out a car that is really missing. If such a career still crashes when a session loads, restore its save from before you first played on 1.9.21: open Profiles > Saves, pick the newest Before Play or After Play version from before then, and select Restore.
  • On the EA app copy, career addons such as SWOFTY Progressive Career and F2 Revamp have their Career tiles again. Since 1.9.21 the launcher checked each career against the game's loaded driver line-ups, which it can't read on the EA copy, so it turned those careers away.
  • Time Trial on an added track that has no leaderboard, such as Le Mans or Indianapolis, no longer crashes the game in the garage with In-game leaderboards on. The garage now leaves out the leaderboard tab for that track instead of opening it half built.
  • F1 25 no longer crashes at start-up with a lot of track addons on. The game has room for 64 tracks, 35 of its own and 29 added ones. Track addons past that are now left out of the build, named in the Play log with a warning, instead of crashing the game before the menu.
  • In gaming mode on a Steam Deck or another controller setup, the arrow keys and D-pad move between a dialog's buttons and A/Enter presses the one you're on. Before, Enter closed the dialog without pressing the button, so Restore game folder did nothing, and the D-pad couldn't reach the other buttons.
  • When Play stops because an addon edits a row that isn't there, the message now names the addon earlier in the load that removed or renamed that row, and says to turn it off or move it below. Before, it only named the addon that edits the row, which usually wasn't the problem.
  • The crash screen no longer blames an ASI loader or OptiScaler in your game folder for a crash those files took no part in. It looked at old graphics-driver addresses left on the stack; it now only blames them when they are in the crash itself.
