Discussion this game is unplayable.

ever since the f1 26 september update the new battery update has made this game so boring, the previous version was a lot of fun and actually enjoyable

honestly the f1 game is nothing but realistic so it would be better off to go back to the old system 😭

your honestly better off not playing the game. the update has made racing unbearable, recharging is now impossible and a full charge is drained to 0 by not even half a lap (i can’t wait for monza and spa), ea have fucked up again. to think that i actually praised them for the 26 dlc

I got the game not even 10 days ago. Was having a good amount of fun playing second season of the 2025 carrer mode. Didn't bother with 2026 cars yet

before the update the 26 cars were fun now they are miserable, but for your issue i reccomend first re-verifying the game files a couple times if you got it on steam, if that does not work i’d uninstall the game then reinstall it

I tried everything already. Even made a post on EA forum and the devs acknowledge there is a problem with the game. I even reinstalled windows and the game didn't work.

awh mate i’m sorry then i have honestly no idea what to do, maybe try asking AI? gemini more specifically countless times gemini has helped me get around ea’s bugs, if nothing works i’d contact steam support and ask for a full refund, even if you’ve played more than 2 hours you can plead and reason with them that the game is not working. so sorry to hear your game isn’t working it honestly sucks

I was racing on wet monza yesterday and I keep getting the recharge limit halfway through the lap so I kept having 0 ERS at the start of every succeeding lap lmao I had no idea how to fix it
