Loss of X-Box mode - after Firmeware-Update connection to X-Box not longer possible
Hello together,
maybe someone could help me what to do?
I bought a bundle of fanatec simracing equipment for my son - this should be working for X-Box.
For a first try we started the equipment and the X-Box mode was available (green light on the base).
After I had done the first basic check I had done the update of the firmware (all avialable) with the PC - like written in the manual. Now everything works well in connection with the PC but there isn`t any X-Box mode anymore available. Not when using the button on the base or the button combination at the wheel (menu + x or y). There are only the two modes PC oder PC comp. available.
How to get my X-Box mode back???
Where to download the older firmeware - if this is the solution?
Here included as screenshot the used firmware versions and the used equipment:

you may need check if xbox driver is enabled or something, for me it works at 455, also when you change modes there are delays when you change them
also try push button multi times , it could be some delay at there
Hello together - and Allan thanks for helping.
I don`t know what`s the final reason but after download and installation of the old version 454 and update of the base back to the old version firmware V1.1.10.6.release I got the "X-Box mode" back.

First I thought that it doesn`t work because from the X-Box was no reaction but after a 3 hours break everything works fine.
I think the X-Box did an update in between....
So there is definitely something wrong with the firmware I think. I have the same problem. I have to use a V2 universal hub just to get into xbox mode then change wheels to the clubsport formula wheel and I can get xbox mode very weird. But it seem like it has something to do with the 455 update. On 454 my wheel base would change to xbox mode without an issue. I only upgraded to 455 because silly me I trust the firmware updates
