Codemasters’ latest installment of the F1 series has been updated to version 1.05 and has received a wide array of fixes but has not addressed the controversial curb related issues.
F1 2021 on PC and Playstation has moved to version 1.05. Currently, this update has been deployed only on PC and Playstation consoles, but Xbox users should receive the update shortly.
The update focuses mainly on mitigating issues that were causing the game to crash and Codemasters has made no mention in the notes about the curb issues we’ve seen lately from various social media accounts. Many users have posted videos of their cars being launched while driving over often imperceptible bumps with the car driving within track limits. This has created a split in the community, as many of the bumps only affect players when very wide, uncommon nearing unrealistic racing lines are taken. These unusually wide lines are not so wide that the game voids the lap, however, prompting some users to demand a fix while others encourage simply using racing lines more like what we see in real life.
For now, F1 2021 users will need to be content with improved stability. Be sure to let us know in the comments below whether you’re enjoying F1 2021.
