: Addressed an "Autosave bug" that caused career progress to stop saving and fixed crashes occurring during Career tutorials. Technical Refinements

Looking back, is a case study in the dangers of late-cycle overhauls. It proved that Codemasters could fix deep-seated physics issues, but it also exposed their inability to QA test a patch against the full breadth of a career mode. The patch was eventually unofficially fixed by the community (a user-created DLL file plugged the memory leak), but by then, F1 2013 was on the horizon.

PS3 and Xbox 360 pads now have a slightly wider deadzone by default (around 12% instead of 8%). This reduces unintended steering input but may feel less responsive for precise wheel users.

F1 2012 Update 12 Patch 1.3.3.0 Jun 2026
