This is something i thought it was on my head untill a friend of mine that also bought the DD1 started feeling the same, quite noticeable in Assetto corsa with the AUDI TT cup...sometimes the FFB is heavier like a spring effect but on max... only by restarting the game and the wheel this goes back to normal..its like when the wheel is turned at 90 degrees for any of the sides it starts resisting to turn.. cant quite explain but its quite annoying , already reinstalled drivers and every now and then it happens.

I have this same issue. I thought I was crazy too. Any update?
With the new drivers, the "resistance cogs" are more clearly heard & felt. The cogs feel rusty now. I've recreated the issue in a video.
I have an open support ticket with Fanatec. They insist it's a non-hardware issue. I have tried this on different games, drivers, PCs, and USB ports. I have ensured the firmware is fully updated, for the wheel base, motor, and rim. I have completed the required calibrations.
I will say this - the issue is most prevalent in Rfactor 2. What is strange is this - in Rfactor 2 and the other sims I have this issue, according to Fanatec the "SPR and DPR have no effect." However, based on this issue, I am certain SPR and DPR do indeed have an impact. Why this interplay causes issues more over time, I'm not sure.
Furthermore, it appears that the same issue is described in the following threads on the discussion forms: example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4.
quite disappointing fanatec is ignoring this issue for so long, while the DPR and SPR at 0 eliminates one part of the problem it leaves us with oscillation issue :(
