F1 2021 Patch 1.05 is now available on PC. The update introduces improvements to Nvidia DLSS implementation. There is also a new option that allows you to select the quality of ray tracing.
The update has also fixed many crashes that can be experienced in the game. For instance, have you experienced the game crash after returning to a ranked lobby? The issue here is that it would occur after the lobby had split.
Fortunately, the developers have managed to resolve the issue, so you do not have to worry about it ever happening again.
Because the patch contains general stability improvements and fixes, you will likely have a smoother gameplay experience after installing it.
