Hypervisor
Release is using Hypervisor bypass by DenuvOwO team.
- 1 Extract the game to a normal folder — avoid Program Files.
- 2 Enable CPU virtualization in your BIOS/UEFI — Intel: VT-x / “Virtualization Technology”, AMD: SVM Mode. Many boards already have it on.
-
3
Run
VBS.cmdfrom the game folder as Administrator, press 1, then restart your PC. On the next boot press F7 when the startup menu appears (turns driver signature enforcement off). - 4 Launch the game from its .exe in the game folder.
The crack is already applied — you don’t need to copy or patch anything yourself.
Antivirus warnings are expected. The bypass loads an unsigned kernel driver. If crack files vanish, whitelist the game folder and restore them.
Once it works, other Hypervisor games start right away — until you restart or shut down. Then repeat: VBS.cmd → 1 → reboot → F7.
When you’re done playing, run VBS.cmd again and pick the revert option to restore your Windows security settings.
DenuvOwO.nfo in the game folder has the crackers’ own release notes.

Link to full patch notes:
https://www.ea.com/games/f1/f1-25/news/f1-25-2026-season-pack-patch-notes-v123
Highlights:
Added Sausage Kerbs to the inside of the chicane at turn 5 at Madrid. Because of this change, we're also resetting the Madrid Time Trial Leaderboard.
Fixed an issue that caused the player's selected livery not to be shown during Invitationals.
Wheels & Controllers:
Added support for the Nacon Revosim on PlayStation®5.
The in-game rotation angle setting is now correctly applied when the rotation angle in the base tuning settings (dashboard/screen) is set to Auto. This affects various Thrustmaster wheels on Xbox, including the TMX, TX, T128, T248, and T598.
Fixed an issue that prevented the LSB and RSB buttons from working correctly on the Thrustmaster T598 on Xbox.
Added the SF25 Preset control scheme to the Thrustmaster T598 on Xbox.
Splitscreen:
Fixed an issue in Splitscreen where, in certain circumstances, Player 1 could edit Player 2's car setup.
Fixed an issue in Splitscreen, where Player 1's ERS dial was not visible in One Shot Qualifying.
Misc:
Fixed an issue where the Distance to Pit Limiter was sometimes not displayed correctly.
Fixed an issue that caused the incorrect Power Unit Supplier logos to be shown when starting a new 2025 Career.
Fixed minor graphical issues in the pitlane and garages at various tracks.
Fixed occasional crashes when connecting and disconnecting controllers and wheels.
Various UI and Stability Improvements.
We are investigating a potential issue with the latest Steam Beta client that may cause the game to crash or close during startup.
Issue:
Some players may experience the game closing or crashing immediately after launch, before the intro video plays.
Based on our current testing, switching from the Steam Beta client back to the stable Steam client appears to resolve the issue.
Suspected Cause:
The issue appears to be linked to the latest Steam Beta update. Affected Steam Client Details
Steam branch: Steam Beta
Steam version: 1780620638
Steam client build date: Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 2:26 AM UTC -08:00
Steam web build date: Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 7:44 PM UTC -08:00
Steam API version: SteamClient023
Workaround:
Players experiencing this issue should opt out of the Steam Beta client and return to the Stable Steam client.
Additional Notes:
This issue may be related to Steam’s handling or reporting of DLSS Frame Generation, or to the Steam performance monitor overlay.
Because the crash occurs very early in startup, before the intro video plays, it may occur during the initial graphics or overlay setup.

Preparing for the second half of Survival Challenge, the latest title update will be made available for F1® 25 next week.

v1.16 Patch Notes
Highlights
Preparations for Survival Challenge Part 2, starting December 17
Find out more about what’s coming in Part 2 of Survival Challenge by checking out our dedicated blog, found here.
Added a range of new Casual Wear items to the Podium Pass Store
On December 10, a wide variety of Casual Wear items from real-world brands will be added to the store, giving you more options to kit out your Driver Avatar. These include those pieces from Puma’s official F1® fashion collection, as well as the likes of Alpinestars, Anti Social Social Club, Kappa, Patta, Period Correct Squadra Corse, and Stance.
All Title Sponsor liveries owned by the player can now be used in My Team Career
Previously, Title Sponsor liveries that were unlocked in the game could only be applied to the F1 World car in certain modes, or in My Team when you are signed with the same Title Sponsor. However, we’ve now made it so that these liveries can be freely selected in My Team, opening up even more customisation options in that mode. Any adjustments you’ve made to your livery in My Team using the Decal Editor will still apply, so you may want to reposition some of the pre-existing Decals so that they don’t overlap with those baked-in to the Title Sponsor liveries.
Fixed a rare issue at Bahrain where players could collide with an invisible bump at the exit of Turn 4
Peripherals (Wheels/Controllers)
Added support for the VRS R295, Pro and Lite Formula Steering Wheels

The latest F1® 25 patch headlines enhancements to player car performance, aiming to improve the experience of racing against the AI. Patch v1.06 will begin rolling out at 10am UTC on Monday, July 7. Please ensure your PC or console is connected to the internet in order to receive the update.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45557445/382d1e5967f889e231083a3eb31cf4d9c72cf416.jpg"]
v1.06 Patch Notes
Highlights
Made minor adjustments to front ride height and floor friction levels to reduce the effect that underbody scraping has on a player's top speed
Some players have reported that the computer-controlled opponents (AI) were able to maintain a higher top speed, despite equal or similar performance statistics to their own car. After investigation, it was determined that the underbody of the player car was experiencing greater friction against the track surface than those of the AI cars. An adjustment was made to ensure that the underbody scraping is now the same between the player car and AI cars. We expect this change to allow the player car to reach an appropriate top speed, performing as expected across all circuits and weather conditions.
Made adjustments to the automatic gearbox in wet conditions. This will reduce short shifting in higher gears and enable the player to compete more effectively with the AI
Following improvements made to the automatic gearbox for F1 25, upshifts have been reported to occur too early in wet conditions, overcompensating for changes made for this year’s game. An adjustment has been made so that the player car, whilst at full throttle, will upshift slightly higher than previously, which should improve acceleration out of corners compared to AI competitors.
Please note that additional improvements to the experience racing against the AI are being considered. The team would appreciate your feedback on the changes that have been made. That feedback can be shared in a dedicated AI post on the EA Forums which can be found here. This post will be locked until the patch is live.
Updated the OpenVR SDK (PC Only)
An update has been made to the OpenVR SDK that’s used for F1® 25, with the goal of improving the performance of VR overall and reducing occurrences of specific community-raised issues such as head tracking problems that lead to jitter/stutter. The dev team continues to investigate reports and we thank the community for their ongoing support on this topic, whilst welcoming additional feedback on VR after this change. When making reports relating to VR, details that should be included are headset variant, firmware/launcher versions, and how the headset is connected to the PC (USB cable type, port type, motherboard details etc).
