Codemasters has temporarily disabled 3D audio for headphones from the PlayStation 5 version of F1 2021.
As noted byPushSquare, in thepatch notesfor the game’s 1.06 update the developer states that the feature has been turned off due to an unspecified technical issue. “This will be re-enabled as soon as audio issues relating to it have been resolved,” it says.
Sonyadded the ability to usePS5‘s 3D audio via speakers ina beta updatelate last month (the feature had previously only worked with headphones since launch).
The update marks the second timeCodemastershas had to disable a feature in the PS5 version of F1 2021 due to technical issues. Last month the developertemporarily disabled ray-tracingin the PS5 version of the game, citing performance issues.
At the time, the game’s development team said it had “taken the difficult decision to temporarily disable” the lighting feature to add stability to the game. It was eventually turned back on with the arrival of the 1.05 updatelast week.
TheXbox Series XandPCversions of the game continued to have ray tracing enabled, because the issue only appeared on the PS5 version.
Elsewhere in the 1.06 update, Codemasters has addressed issues with Thurstmaster wheels and made balancing changing to game chapters, plus stability improvements.
