Thanks for your tip. I remember this controller thing caused issues a long time ago too. I just tried it, but didn’t fix f1 23 unfortunaly. The controller was paired with BT, but never powered on. I removed the device entirely from windows. The FFB is completely broken, off center. But when I hop in any other race game, zero issues ever at all.
I guess there is no other way than refunding. 70€ for a not properly functioning game is insane
@Sw1ftStorm_ Our PC Guru champion @SteveJackson is the best person to help you with this. But he’s away on holiday for the next week unfortunately 😔

Thanks guys but I already requested a refund through steam. I’m tired of 4 hours of trying anything, wasting my time. I’m quite a PC guy myself, but I give up. I might check the game out again in a few months when a few updates have passed.
For now I can play f1 21 without issues, so there’s definitely something wrong with 23. 70€ is just too much to let go and wait in patience in hope for a fix.Very disappointed though, was really looking forward to playing career with my new setup :[

Doesn’t mention updating firmware, this is important - even if the wheel functions in other games.
Updating firmware rarely breaks functionality, it improves it.
There are various updates required for F1 23, at the firmware and driver level for various vendors.
It is not perfect, as there are still issues being investigated, as the Community Raised Issues thread will attest.
For developers to fix the issues they must be able to replicate. I can only speak from my own experience with fully updated software and firmware that the issues are minor and not easily replicated. I will temper that assertion with the fact that I have not done very much in terms of MP mode game time and I don’t see the need to ALT-TAB the game at all; overlays run fine and allow me to use comms and benchmark metrics during gameplay.
I will try to address this in future hours game time, but my advice is always the same. Update everything (including the PC) and consoles and don’t run pre-release environments. I find a large percentage of the issues here are that or related to green coloured hardware; sorry that’s borne out by statistics, not just opinion.

I have tried fanatec driver 451 (latest), 450 and 447. None fixed the issue. I know how important software is with simracing. I even almost bricked my base by getting in bootloader by the firmware flasher that just stopped responding in windows.
In the firmware manager, pedals base and wheel are up to date. I flashed all the devices with new firmware too.
Anything else missing?
Thanks
