CSW V2.5 WheelBase Not detected anymore.
So I’ve had this base for a while now, worked fine with no issues. I go to use it a couple days ago and now my pc won’t detect it at all. I’ve tried reinstalling the update many times to no luck whatsoever... tried different ports to the same result. No matter what I do nothing works, I’ve spent the past two days researching possible solutions to no avail. All I want is it to work again, I don’t wanna spend the money to purchase another one. I also don’t have the serial # for it anymore as it was scratched off by my previous rig setup when I’d move it. If someone has a possible fix I’d greatly appreciate it, I’m tired of this.

are you in PC mode? did you try to repair the driver? which drivers did you try? which wheel are you using? did you try it without a wheel yet?
Yes, I’m in PC mode. How would I “repair” the driver?
and I tried the latest stable drivers, the wheel is the CSl Elite P1, and yes I tried without the wheel attached to the base.
Did you try:
- different USB ports?
- connecting it to a different computer?
- use a different USB cable?
- wiggle the USB connector on base side to see if it connects badly?
simply start the .exe again and use the repair function, or go into the system config, programs and choose repair for the driver package.
yes to all of those.
Done this a hundred times now.. repairing, reinstalling does absolutely nothing here’s a video of the issue https://streamable.com/05hwqp
as the base seems to work fine I'd say that USB connection on the base is broken. Please contact the support anyway, even without the Serialnumber.
I have the same problem. For me it's about this new driver because I used this base for months.
Another possible scenario is Windows update and its black magic bugs.
Sadly I don't have my PC now but it was about like that in my case:
Removing driver, installing everything again and restarting PC gave the same result.
I'm sure of 1 thing: it's software problem.
Thanks, I’ve been talking with support and my only option is to send it in for repair or upgrade to a DD2, can’t afford either option so I don’t really have any options
Any tips for downgrading the driver?
The only downloadable is 402.
