F1 2020 Patch 1.09 Includes Livery Updates

Codemasters are keeping up with a changing Formula One Season and improving their racing game as F1 2020 patch 1.09 includes livery updates and other improvements as previously promised.

The notable tweaks include allowing you to use multiplayer cars in split-screen and time trials and the option to hold a button to deploy ERS rather than toggling it on and off. Plus the slightly ironic ‘performance issue while the Safety Car is on the track’, considering the real F1 championship had a more noticeable performance issue with the safety car at Mugello last weekend.

F1 2020 Patch 1.09 Change Log:

• The Multiplayer car is now available to use in split-screen and Time Trial.
• Option added so players can engage ERS by holding the button.
• Fixed a soft lock for some users where a contract negotiation would not occur correctly.
• A performance issue while the Safety Car is on the track has been addressed.
• Sponsors now correctly appear on the player’s car during Weekly Events.
• Customisation sliders now show values to allow easier editing.
• Badge emblems can now be resized.
• Time Trial now has an option to view a replay of the fastest lap in the session.
• In Split Screen AI opponent numbers can now be customised.
• Players are no longer briefly displayed in the wrong position at the end of a qualifying or race session.
• Pit stop information has been added to the Race Director.

• LAN names will now be correctly used during LAN game sessions.
