Unlike F1 23, the game doesn't put you in the shoes of drivers like Verstappen or Alonso, it instead gives you managerial control over your F1 team. The game launched this week on Monday, July 31st. However, Deluxe Edition players got to start their career on July 27th, four days before everyone else.
Let's dive right in and look at the notes for Patch 1.5.
F1 Manager Patch 1.5 Notes
The following issues have been resolved in F1 Manager 2023 following Patch 1.5 for PC players.
- Fixed crash that could occur during race weekend
- Added DX11 stable fallback option where DX12 crash is detected
- Prevented patch notes pop-up persisting after first launch
This patch is the third we've received in the last two weeks for F1 Manager. The previous patches, 1.4 and 1.3, respectively, also addressed multiple issues with the game's stability.
In case the game still crashes, you can submit a report on Formcrafts.
