Bugs & Issues – F1 Series (F1 23 / 24 / 25)
This page collects known and suspected bugs when using RaceLab with the modern F1 games (F1 23 / 24 / 25 and similar). It helps you decide whether you are seeing a game bug, a RaceLab bug, or a PC / network issue.
Before you call it a “bug”
- Confirm the F1 game is updated to the latest official patch.
- Confirm you are on the latest RaceLab version.
- Restart the game, RaceLab, and (if needed) your PC.
- Test in a simple Time Trial or Grand Prix session with default settings.
- Temporarily disable other overlay / telemetry tools to rule out conflicts.
Common symptom categories
- No data / no overlays even though the game is running.
- Wrong car, lap, or delta information in the overlays.
- Performance & FPS drops when overlays are enabled or streaming.
- UDP / port issues – data stutters, freezes, or disappears mid-session.
- UI quirks – overlays not saving position, hotkeys not responding.
What to collect for a report
- Which F1 title and build (F1 23 / 24 / 25) and platform (PC / Steam).
- Game mode – Time Trial, Grand Prix, Career, League, online lobby, etc.
- RaceLab version and which overlay(s) were active.
- UDP settings / telemetry settings from the game options (port, format, rate). [2]
- Screenshots or a short video showing the problem on screen.
Quick triage – is this a game bug, a RaceLab bug, or something else?
Use this panel as a fast checklist before you post a bug report. It helps you send your issue to the right place and include the details that support teams actually need.
1. Does it happen without RaceLab?
- Close RaceLab completely and restart the F1 game.
- Join a similar session with no overlays or external tools.
- If the problem still happens, treat it as a core game issue. [1]
- If it only happens with RaceLab open, continue below.
2. Is it tied to a specific overlay?
- Disable all overlays, then enable one overlay at a time.
- Note which overlay is active when the problem appears.
- Check this site’s overlay pages for any matching known issues.
- If it follows one overlay, log it as a RaceLab overlay bug. [3]
3. Could it be UDP / network related?
- Verify the F1 game’s telemetry / UDP settings match the RaceLab guide. [2]
- Use a fixed UDP port and avoid conflicts with other apps.
- Test on a wired network or stable Wi-Fi if possible.
- If data flow improves when other apps are closed, treat it as a configuration / network issue rather than a pure bug.
Before posting your report
- Add a clear title – e.g. “F1 24 – RaceLab delta freezes after safety car restart”.
- Include your PC specs (CPU, GPU, RAM, VR/monitor, steering wheel) once in your thread.
- Attach at least one screenshot or short clip showing the overlays and issue.
- Mention the exact F1 game version and RaceLab version[4]
- List what you have already tried (restarts, different tracks, changing UDP settings, etc.).
