Players who purchased F1 2013, especially those who bought the game second-hand or through certain retailers, found themselves stuck with a pre-set player name. This name often belonged to the previous owner, making it a frustrating experience for new players.

If you are playing on a modern monitor (1440p or 4K), the text input field in the menu can sometimes be buggy due to resolution scaling. If you cannot see your typing, try lowering your resolution to 1080p temporarily to change your name, then raise it back up.

Launch the game and accept the default profile ("Player One") to get to the main menu. Navigate to > Driver Information > Driver Details .

If your name won't save or you can't click the field, your local configuration files might be corrupted.

Use a controller instead of a keyboard to navigate to the name field and press the "Select" or "Enter" equivalent to bring up the on-screen keyboard.
