EA Sports is continuing to fix issues with F1 23: Two weeks after the most recent update, v1.09 has launched. The patch only introduces minor fixes, leaving issues like the Force Feedback problems reported by users of popular hardware still unresolved. Meanwhile, changes to F1 World and EA Racenet are also part of v1.09.

In addition to stability improvements, several bugs have been ironed out with the update, including racers being disqualified from multiplayer races when only being disqualified from the formation lap, the unintended ability to gain control of the car in the pits after using a flashback, and the permanently switched on equal performance mode in LAN races.
Meanwhile, F1 World has received adjustments mostly concerning the Tech Level. Solo events that used to match a player's own Tech Level are now slightly easier as they now match a level slightly below that, but on the other hand, the Tech Level modifier for Solo events has been expanded. Players can now adjust these events to a higher difficulty that grants them higher rewards. The modifier now ranges from 0 to 150, whereas before it was -100 to +100.
To make completing lower-level Solo events more interesting, these will now scale up so they will be only 50 levels below a player's Tech Level at a maximum. They can still use the modifier to make things a bit more challenging and rewarding, though.
You can find the full v1.09 changelog below.
Bigger issues that are still being investigated by EA Sports and Codemasters include the FFB issues mentioned in the intro of this article, 100% tire wear in Formula 2 sprint races, and F1 World goals being locked. You can take a look at the current list of community-raised issues that are either under investigation or awaiting a patch in the official F1 23 forums.
