@wildwestcowboy Bigger issues?! How is ranked a bigger issue than making sure we can actually use racing wheels in game to drive?
@matty0blobber have you checked that the patch actually makes wheels work now?
Also, only a fraction of the players of F1 23 use wheels, and an even smaller fraction of them use the wheels which are causing issues. What I’m saying is that it would probably be more beneficial for EA to be focusing on the issues which affect the most amount of players, not the ones which only affect a select few. While they’re still important, I think there are some higher priorities.
What would you prefer:
1. Resorting to playing on a controller because your wheel doesn’t work, but the major issues of the game are resolved.
or 2. Be able to play on a wheel, but the game is basically unplayable anyway because of the bigger issues.
@wildwestcowboy
Using wheels in this game is way more important than ranked.
Whats the point of ranked if most of the fastest people who play it are wheel users but they can't use their wheel to start with?!
Just because you're not a wheel user you immediately think you're in the majority and the priority, that's baseless assumptions with no facts to back it up, poor show mate.
Getting basic things fixed first like wheels and FFB is a priority, end of story.@matty0blobber you do you mate.
@dotazured I fully understand what you’re saying, and respect that. I suppose there will always be an element of bias, from both sides. Players who don’t use wheels (which let me tell you for sure, is most players) will want the focus to be on fixing the games major issues, like the two player career tyre allocation bugs, the ranked multiplayer system, or the career mode contract bugs. Contrastingly, players who use wheels will obviously want the focus to be on improving their experience on the game.
Not only as a game develop, but in many situations in life, you can’t please everyone when you are deciding between what to do. But I think the best principal for dealing with problems is do prioritise the biggest, most pressing issues. Which in a video game’s scenario are the issues affecting the most players, causing the most problems, and giving the developers a worse reputation.
At the end of the day, when (most) people write reviews for this game, they won’t be writing about how their particular types of wheels didn’t work, or their FFB issues hues, I get that they are important too). But instead they will be writing about the lack of major changes to the main parts of the game, and the major flaws in bugs with those renowned and most acclaimed parts of the game.But let’s not just close this conversation. All opinions are welcomed and respected! I wouldn’t particularly recommend coming in, sharing your opinion, and calling it ‘end of story’.
@wildwestcowboyOh I will mate dw, you can't say 'lets close the conversation' to someone else while making little jabs about the wording I used....thats weak.
People haven't been able to play this 'properly' (how they played 21&22) since launch day which is 25-27 days now.
Ranked isn't even broken it's still playable, is it bugged? yes sure, but wheels and controllers have been broken since launch.
You came on here first declaring what's more important, so that's on you, you invited the push back.
- @matty0blobber There’s factually a lot more controller players.
@SomaticCoast375Obviously but that wasn't the point, are you gonna tell all the people in here that their issues with wheels aren't important because there are more controller players? No? Exactly.
- @wildwestcowboy Just want to chime in here, it's not just wheels that are misbehaving, even normal controllers such as the Dualsense and Series S/X have issues with, or fully lacking, vibration, feedback and or triggers not working as intended.
I would agree with matty here and say that game input is infinitely more important than multiplayer at this stage. It's not even an even playing field if some can play it without issues, and some being unable to play it due to lack of input accuracy as a result in lack of FFB etc. How do you mean that would be fair in a multiplayer setting in the first place?- @dotazured Damn mate who'd ever think we'd agree on something haha cheers.
- For what it's worth, just lapped with the G923 on Xbox Series S without FFB or server disconnect issues which were the problems that prevented me from playing the game.
Although I understand that different players are affected differently this patch feels like THE major patch for now. I still want to note that I purchased the Champions Edition and I'm only able to play the game today, 27 days later. I'm happy to play the game moving forward but still extremely unhappy with the state of the game at launch and the time it took to sort out many of these problems.
To fix the wheels should be the #1 priority issue. A RACING GAME without properly working wheels is not a racing game.
Logitech wheels after the 150 and 300 are the most common in this game. It's a farce that every year they don't work. And in terms of playerbase about 25-30% use steering wheels.
Just in general, everytime when a wheel doesn't get supported it's #1 priority.
50th patch since 2020 and still no removal or nerf of personnel facility stat boosts.
Remaining on hiatus from the game.

There you go! 25-30%. A.k.a quite far from the majority of players. Besides, I have a wheel and it works fine. So take a few more percentages of that 25-30, because I’m not the only one. Just sayin…
We have couple hundred people on our server. 70% use a wheel. Of all wheel users about 50% have serious issues.
- @wildwestcowboy What ?????
-Fixed an issue where Sponsor boards would be black at Singapore
-Updated news article in Chapter 10 of Braking Point
These points are more important like a major wheel problem?
I dont think so.
I think they find no solution. I'm on ps5 with a g923, my ffb and vibration isn't working yet my friend who bought the wheel at the same time has his working fine. RAGING BEYOND BELIEF!

Can you please provide a source or link to numbers of gamepad/controller v wheel users? I'm pretty sure, as a racing game, there are a LOT of wheel users out there, but I'd be very interested to look at the site that you got that info from.
Thanks
- @antonmorse It’s common knowledge most people play using pad as most people who play this game and like most others are casual players.
Please bring back the weekly Events for F1 22!!!!!!
The Platin is still unobtainable since almost 4 weeks now.
EA PLEASE FIX THIS!
Hi, I play on PC and Fanatec Wheel DD Podium, and since this patch I am no longer able to activate DRS in time trial from my wheel? I tried to assign it to other buttons but no effect?
Is anybody else having that issue?
