F1 2012 – PC Patch #8 News
Today sees patch #8 available on Steam for PC versions of F1 2012.
This update addresses the following issues:
The Error 41 issues that some users have been seeing broadly cover three issues.
Users with insufficient memory on their graphics cards. In this case we believe that running the game in safe mode should allow the game to be booted. From there the player should be able to change their graphics settings until they find some that work for their card and they’re happy with.
To launch in Safe Mode:In the Steam library right click F1 2012.
Click Properties.
Click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS.
Type –safemode.
Click OK.
This will reduce the resolution to 800x600 and force all settings to Ultra Low or Low with MSAA off.
Users with old graphics card drivers, in particular for on board graphics chips. Unfortunately we cannot offer any help other than to advise getting the latest drivers for your hardware. This might involve replacing the laptop manufacturer’s driver with the chipset manufacturer’s driver.
Users with dual graphics card laptops. We can’t fix this issue directly but there should be some settings on your laptop which allow you to run the game on the specific gaming graphics card. It is also possible that you will also encounter the low memory issue above.
The fixes listed above and those specific to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game are also being tested and verified on those platforms. As these versions require additional submission and authorisation from both Microsoft and Sony the release date for these will follow a little later than the PC version.
We are working on other issues you have reported via the forums, Facebook and Twitter and are working to fix them as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please note that we are still collecting feedback via our Technical Assistance forums and do encourage you to post your issues there being sure to include as much information as possible.

Today sees patch #8 available on Steam for PC versions of F1 2012.
This update addresses the following issues:
- Added an option to turn the Parc Ferme rules on or off in online Custom Race, Co-Op and LAN games. This option can be found within the Simulation Settings and defaults to on. Setting this to off will allow players to set up their cars in Qualifying sessions and will also allow players who join in progress during qualifying to edit their car setup before the race.
- Fixed an exploit in One Shot Qualifying where users could post impossibly quick lap times.
