Released in early June, F1 23 has now been in the hands of fans for over three months. In that time, many bugs and issues with the title have emerged, typically being resolved with patches. Well, the latest patch for F1 23 comes out today bringing the game to version 1.12.

It touches on several minor bugs in the game and bringing forth some healthy improvements. This will no doubt be a popular update among fans. But with force feedback issues plaguing the title, it seems this latest F1 23 patch helps ease at least some players’ concerns. Here’s all you need to know.

FFB Issues Solved?​

Ever since launch, F1 23 players have experienced issues with the force feedback, notably on Thrustmaster hardware. Indeed, entering pause menus or advancing to new sessions would often cause a total loss of FFB output from the game.


Several patches have come and gone leaving the many Thrustmaster T300 users none the wiser. But it seems EA Sports and Codemasters are finally making strides. Below the version 1.12 patch notes, the F1 23 developers point out that a recent Xbox system update may have solved the issue.

The team behind the popular sim is calling out to fans that can either confirm or deny the issue’s resolution. Indeed, if one can pinpoint the Xbox system change that ended the FFB loss for F1 23, they can reverse engineer the update. As a result, a fix for both PC and Playstation would be possible.

Elsewhere, the game update itself features several fixes that will please fans. Indeed, gameplay issue fixes dominate the changelog. In the F1 World menu, players will now have access to all goals available at any given time. In fact, a glitch caused several events to disappear from the screens. Other missing menu items that reappear thanks to this patch include the Season 2 Podium Pass whilst the Formula 2 season should now present in the correct order.


Graphically, the Ferrari race car and teamwear return back to their standard setup following a few weeks of Monza flamboyance. Prior to this F1 23 update, Nyck De Vries was acting much like in real life and seemingly became invisible. Players should now see him both in menu screens and in his car going forward. Finally, the update solves some weather glitches such as non-existent clouds on PS5 and vanishing fog.

Too late, I've been stuck in the safety rails with my car for a month now.

My arms are broken, the steering wheel's mark is in the wall and luckily I'm surviving thanks to the watercooling fluid in my PC.

Sad world, finally some good news, I've been waiting for this patch.

For those of you who are wondering, how do I write? I'll let you imagine lol
