Logitech G29 Force Feedback Loss When Starting Second Race/Session

What happens when you unlock the wheel from the Xbox? While in the pause screen. It's worked for me a while back.. good luck to ya. 

Here is what worked for me and many other a while back when this happened. I had to go back in this thread to find it.. hope this helps. 

I just had an update for Logitech G Hub (version 2023.7.448769) and it listed F1 23 under the "New Games Supported" section, so I thought I'd give it another go having not been able to play the game since the 1.08 patch (other than to check this missing FFB bug).

I did a few laps of one of the weekly challenges (the Time Trial vs Verstappen at Zandvoort). FFB was okay. I then quit and played a Grand Prix at Jeddah. This time FFB seemed okay for two consecutive sessions/races.  However, I then quit that after a few laps and started a Time Trial at Singapore (to check out the new layout with fewer corners... hmm, are the American owners of F1 trying to slowly turn every track into an oval?), and FFB was once again missing. So no change.

Also just to clarify, despite what the title of this thread says, my issue is on PC (Windows 10) using the Logitech G29. The title is incorrect because @EA_Groguet merged this with another thread then, when I pointed out that it was a separate issue, it was recreated with the wrong title!

Edit: Thanks @EA_Groguet for updating the title.

@NormBash84I'm on PC so that's obviously not an option for me. The only workaround is to quit back to desktop and restart the game after each race/session.

Try alt-tabbing out of the game, and then back in. I've got this exact issue with my Fanatec CSL DD, and alt-tabbing seems to fix it again. The same bug occurred prior to the last patch, and was supposed to have been fixed. This latest patch seems to have broken it again.

I haven't bothered testing it on the last few patches (or indeed played the game at all), so I thought I'd check in to see if anything's changed on the 1.12 patch, so I can hopefully start playing a game I paid £60 for!

Unfortunately on my very first attempt (starting one race, quitting, then starting another in quick succession) FFB once again stopped working. However, one of the workarounds I tried before with no luck (sort of similar to some of the those suggested above) was to unplug the wheel's USB cable from my PC and then re-insert it, causing the wheel to reset (re-calibrate?) and spin back into action. On the 1.12 patch this all of a sudden appears to work and FFB returns.

So there has to be something going on where the game loses contact with the wheel.

@EA_Groguet: Is there any way for a reset to be done in game so I don't have to keep unplugging the USB cable every time FFB disappears?

@EA_Groguet:  I just had FFB completely drop out a few times in a row. Luckily the work around of unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in again overcame the issue.

But I noticed that if I actually finish the race, then go back to the main menu to start a new one, FFB seems to work. But if I quit early to start a new race, it will be disappear (and I need to do the workaround I mentioned above). Obviously there's no way to "finish" Time Trial so it appears that quitting Time Trial and starting a race causes FFB to stop working.

This issue is still present for Logitech G29 wheels in the latest 1.15 patch.

Will this ever be addressed or even acknowledged?

Just to reiterate the problem I'm experiencing, on my Logitech G29 the Force Feedback, and occasionally certain buttons, will stop working if I quit a race early to start another. But if I complete a race, advance back to the main menu, then start another race (or Time Trial session), they don't stop working. So something happens in the process of quitting back to the main menu that doesn't when advancing back to the main menu following a completed race.
