F1 22 v1.05 Patch Fixes Some Crashing and Framerate Issues

Codemasters have released a patch today for F1 22 that includes a number of issues affecting the initial release. If you read my review, you can see that I wasn’t really impressed by the software although it does what it says on the cover as a simulation of F1 22.

Whether the F1 22 cars themselves are now fun to drive? I doubt it. I don’t feel like the F1 22 cars are that fun to drive in real-life, either. So it depends what you’re looking for, I guess!
