FFB loss during racing

Hi,

When in different games, the FFB suddenly drops completely out and after a few seconds it slowly comes back.

Sometimes the wheel even shows something in the display of the wheel. After restarting the wheel, it works fine for some time.

YT Video of the issue can you see here (its hard to see on camera): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSpiE5AdsVY


My wheels are CSL Universal HubCSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC and ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2 and it happens with all three of them in different games.


I had contact with the Fanatec Support, they gave me some tips to try fixing it:

-installing new drivers/reinstalling driver

-tighten screws in between the hub and wheel

-sent over some logs


Nothing fixed the problem so I sent it to Fanatecs repair shop and got a new motor and a power cable.

After recieving it back two days ago and testing in different games (Asseto corsa, carXDrift, ETS2) the problem is still there.


Also I bought an external USB card but it didnt fix it either and tried every USB slot on my PC.


The problem itself started occuring when i switched from Ryzen CPU to Intel, I think this has to be software related, but unfortunetaly i cannot remember what driver version I had before reinstalling. But I tried almost every old driver they provide on the homepage.

  • it might be your chipset drivers. if you can, clean out yr hard drive and re-install the drivers and windows. you would have a new motherboard as well too isn't it?

  • Hey,

    I did reinstall everything after i switched the mainboard and CPU, formatted the m2 ssd as well and flashed the bios.

  • So I did plug the wheel into another PC and it has the same issues...

    It either has to be a hardware problem or the firmware, since it seem to be saved somewhere in the hardware.

    I will try some older firmware versions, if this does not work I'm doomed, i guess.
