F1 2021: Patch 1.07 Out Now!

By Benjamin Paraggua Published 08/24/21 EDT

Developer Codemasters has released a new update for F1 2021 and is now available on all supported platforms.

Patch 1.07 fixes many major issues. For those of you playing the game for long periods, you might notice that the audio would just drop out for no reason. This has been fixed.

Those playing on PC will be happy to know that the devs have added new quality options. They also introduced a sharpening slider if you choose to enable Nvidia DLSS technology in the game.

If you are using the Fanatec advanced paddle module, there may be times that the game will not recognize the top paddles at all. Fortunately, the latest update should now recognize the paddles without problems.
