Codemasters have released a couple new patches for F1 2015 this week, a small one on the PC and a lengthier one for the PlayStation 4.
The PC patch was released Monday and fixed issues with the steering wheel settings working properly and saving.
- Fixed deadzone being incorrectly applied to steering wheels
- Fixed steering wheel settings not saving correctly
- Fixed incorrect detection of certain controllers and steering wheels
The PlayStation 4 patch that went live yesterday was a little more broader in scope. The changelog includes the same three lines from the PC patch, but also adds fixes such as AI suffering punctured tires in P2 and P3 sessions, multiplayer races being won as soon as they started and a number of other multiplayer related issues.
The patch also includes updates from the v1.02 patch, which was only released to European customers, bringing the rest of the world up to par.
