I have to turn on/off my CS DD+ many times before my wheel get detected
Hello,
Each time I want to use my CS DD+ I have to turn on/off many times before the wheel getting detected (both by Fanalab and Fanatec Control Panel).
When I turn on the base, I got one of these scenario (I have two wheels, podium Porsche and F1 2023 wheel with the same behaviour) :
-Scenario 1. The wheel is not detected (most of the time) : The base and the pedals are detected, podium hub are detected by the control panel, the wheel calibrate but the oled screen does not turn on and the wheel is not detected by Fanalab and control panel : I can't play any game. I have tried to unplug/plug the wheel several time but same results.
-Scenario 2. The wheel is detected : The old screen is on but Fanatec Control Panel tells me that I need to upgrade Firmware for BME and QR although it is already done. It seems I can play games without problem anyway. I just see in the old screen "n" instead the "0" gear
-Scenario 3. The wheel is detected : Everything's ok. I just see in the oled screen "n" instead the "0" gear
The wheel is getting detected most of the time after 2/3 turn on/off and it happens with my two wheels.

What happens if you power on the base without the attached wheel and then attach the wheel after booting up? Otherwise the problem with steering wheel recognition will be solved with firmware 456. For me it works fine since 456, but this driver has a another problem with freezing.
Where did you downloaded 456?
I can only download 455 from their website: https://fanatec.com/eu-en/driver
EDIT:
Found it here on forum - release candidate: https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/30236/fanatec-driver-456-release-candidate-for-csl-cs-and-podium-all-wheels#latest
I recommend to upgrade only the WQR Firmware, not the Base firmware until Driver 457 is released next week or early April (as Maurice said). That should fix your wheel problem currently and with 457 the freezing problem will be fixed.
That firmware was supposed to be released a month ago or more. Keeps getting pushed back 🤔
