Summarize your bug Hello there, I am running into an issue in F1 2023 where I cannot remap certain buttons in game to my liking. I get the ''You can only map menu controls for devices that have no preset control scheme.'' error message every time I try to remap certain buttons. I read online that going into the .xml config file for my wheel and making changes in there can work but I do not like messing with game files. Someone has also mentionned turning off mouse emulation in the Fanatel Control Panel but it is already off and has never been turned on. Is there no better way to customise all buttons to my liking in F1 23? It feels like my old Logitech G920 had more flexibility in terms of button customization. If not, are you able to provide an official method to modify the .xml file? I use the Fanatec CSL DD base and the ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 Esports V2.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? N/A
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Vidéotron
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
Did you have cross-play enabled? Yes
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try modifying certain button mappings in game with the ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 Esports V2 like button ''2''.
What happens when the bug occurs? Every time I try to remap certain buttons on the wheel inside the game.
What do you expect to see? The ability to fully customize all buttons on the wheel to my liking

Can you please ensure your DD base and the wheel are fully updated within the latest Fanatec driver?

A clip would be helpful or screenshots, thanks

    Here is the QSG showing the v2 button maps for PC.

    https://fanatec.com/media/pdf/4f/4c/8f/P2017-CS-SW-F1-Esports-V2-QG-Global_Web_02.pdf

    Some controls are locked to game menu navigation and cannot be remapped. Otherwise the game will behave unexpectedly.

    If you hit this error it is simply that the control cannot be mapped as it would conflict with a menu navigation control. 

    As before if you could show video of which controls you are trying to remap and what to it might be helpful. 

    im afraid I have the v2.5 so my mappings are slightly different. Editing the actionmaps require that you save a copy as updating or verifying / reinstalling game files will overwrite your changes.

    Alternate solutions are to rewire your controller, eg I use the clutch for a brake on G923 pedals and swapped the spring and board connectors around to save changing or remapping from default.
