Re: Hot pursuit remastered steering wheel support?

I got Logitech steering wheel. I downloaded Logitech software. I ran on need for speed underground demo version and it worked with steering wheel without doing any.

I then bought NFS hot pursue and found that it could not recognize the wheel. It said unidentified device.

How do I get the NFS hot pursue  work on the steering wheel?

    If you purchased the new "Remastered" Hot Pursuit you are out of luck. EA stripped out the wheel support during the "remaster". There is no steering wheel support in the "remastered" version.

    Consider yourself lucky. Officially there is no steering wheel support in the "remastered" version. I haven't heard from anybody having a wheel newer than the G27 reporting that the wheel worked. It might work for you because both the original game and the G27 were released the same year in 2010. I have the original version of Hot Pursuit and it picks up my G29 with no problem.

    I just think it's being lazy and sloppy from EA calling a game "remastered" and then you strip a feature that was in the original game. They did the same thing with "Burnout Paradise". Called it "remastered" and stripped out the steering wheel support. Gave it a little eye candy and pushed it out the door. Sucks.

  • Remastered works fine with G29 on Windows 11. I had to run Logitech G Hub, set both pedals to single axis, range to 270 degrees, and then customise controller in NFS and map all wheel, pedal and button actions. G29 shows up as "Unknown" in NFS, but otherwise everything (force feedback etc.) works fine. Almost returned it based on comments here, but a little tweaking got it working. 🙂

  • @4Northstar Stellar is a rubbish team ruined both remasters.Paradise and Hot Pursuit remasters are both worse than original,more bug/less feature and almost unrecognizable graphic upgrade with bigger size.
