Monaco FFB is badly broken and will injure someone

I use a Fanatec CSL DD 8nm wheel, playing on PC via the EA store.

Haven't driven Monaco in a few weeks, went into time trial for a few laps on a standard setup to warm up.

As soon as i got to the main straight to get my lap started, my wheel started violently swinging left-right-left rapidly. My wrist is quite sore from it, I was lucky that I let go very quickly and my wheel isn't all that powerful. 

This problem continues at any speed up to about 200kph where it dies off a bit (but can still be felt). It is present pretty much everywhere on the track. It happens no matter what car setup I use. I have made no changes to my FFB settings, and checked that they are still set as normal, which they are. It does not seem to happen on any other track.

I can now only safely drive this track by turning FFB down 50% and turning on-track effects down by 50%. I searched the F1game reddit sub and found a few people with the same issue.

This needs to be fixed ASAP. Someone with a more powerful wheel is going to be caught by surprise and sprain/break their wrist.

As an aside the latest update also broke my LED rev lights, they were coloured and are now only red. I don't know if this issue with Monaco is from the latest patch or earlier as I haven't driven Monaco in weeks.

  • Have exactly same issue with csl dd on xbox. Have made a new settings profile with 30% feedback to make it sort-of plabale but this is a very strange problem!

  • It's broken indeed, f1 22 had the same issue and can't say for sure but f1 21 think had it also. 

    What you can do is increase wheel rotation, don't know what you use but the lower it is the worse it is.

    Increasing wheel damper also helps, will make ffb weird but it's drivable.

    I've got a dd1 and i've got one setup on the wheel just for monaco

    @EA_rephii Please also check my post for the FFB-Problems on the Fanatec GT DD Pro.
    The FFB randomly cuts out.
    Today 3 times ... :-(
  • I know myself and Sla5h3er both use the fanatec CSL DD.

    I have the most up to date drivers and haven't changed anything in weeks. Works perfectly on all other tracks (and other games)
