Other important changes in F1 2020 include a much-needed fix to Split Screen. In v1.07, Codemasters have increased the resolution of the game and removed an annoying bug that allowed players to tinker with others’ strategies for the race.
One of the biggest problems in F1 games involves the safety car. It rarely makes an appearance, but when it does, there’s more chaos than order.
The developers have fixed two annoying problems with the safety car which would allow players to overtake the safety car before it enters the pits. Furthermore, players won’t pick up a penalty for diving into the pits and getting ahead of the safety car.
