1.9.44 ​

Swofty Launcher for F1 25 1.9.44 adds German and Korean, finishes the other translations, and fixes several crashes and stuck saves.

Languages ​

  • The launcher is available in German and Korean. Pick the language in Settings > Interface.
  • Russian, Chinese and Spanish now cover the whole launcher. Before, about a fifth of it was translated.
  • Text that was still English-only in every language is now translated too, such as addon option notes and dialog messages.

German was contributed by vogtmarcel07-cloud, and the Russian, Chinese and Spanish translations by hadiazt.

Crashes ​

  • Opening the F2 tab of Choose Driver in a new career no longer crashes the game when a driver tile has no parts to show.
  • The game no longer crashes at start-up when a profile has more track addons than the game's 64-track room and a calendar or season addon has a race weekend at a track that was left out. That weekend now races at Melbourne, and the build warning names the weekends that moved.
  • A My Team career with more than 128 drivers in it, which happens with addons that add many drivers, gets its missing team car repaired again when it loads. Before, the repair stopped at 128 drivers and the career crashed at the My Team intro.

Saves ​

  • A profile save that hangs on the loading screen every time is moved aside, so the game starts again. The launcher's career backups keep it, and a save that already hangs is repaired the next time you press Play.
  • Renaming a profile to the name of a deleted one keeps the renamed profile's career backups.
  • "Play once with your Steam saves" now applies only to the launch it was pressed for.

Time Trial ​

  • The game shows a warning in Time Trial when an addon that isn't allowed there is on, and names it. Laps set with such an addon are refused.

Graphics ​

  • Shader looks no longer flicker when the game splits its frame without the HUD.
  • The Showroom tile on the main menu opens the Showroom the same way F1 World does, so the camera turns with the right stick.

Addons ​

  • The era row in the game's menus holds up to 255 addon boxes, up from 64.
  • A damaged archive in an addon is reported as an error instead of closing the launcher.

Launcher ​

  • The launcher keeps a config.json or folders.json it can't read, under a new name, instead of replacing it with defaults.
  • Restoring the game folder moves a version.dll the launcher didn't place aside instead of deleting it.
  • Starting the launcher during an update no longer removes the update's files.
  • The data folder can't be moved while a Play is under way, and the developer Run button is off while F1 25 runs or launches.
