Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get a Thrustmaster T248 (PS5/PS4/PC version) Racing Wheel and Alt-Tab out of the game (launched from EA App), you will see that no matter what game mode you are in force feedback is absolutely non-existent once you tab back into the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? Wheel loses all force feedback in any gamemode and also in the main menu there is no resistance when turning the wheel as there usually is - all force feedback is quite literally non-existent, making the game unplayable unless i manually disconnect the wheel, wait a minute, and then reconnect while the game is running - this has to be repeated every time I alt-tab which is extremely frustrating. The ONLY time there seems to be some force feedback after alt-tab is when I am on track but have the game completely paused, meaning the only way I can feel any resistance when turning the wheel is when i'm staring at the pause menu. As soon as I unpause to drive the car the FFB is gone again.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see how it was PRE 1.07. I had absolutely no issues with force feedback after alt-tabbing before the 1.07 update which is incredibly ironic considering the patch was meant to fix this issue (as mentioned in those patch notes) for other players who had clearly run in with this problem, however the patch has done the exact opposite for me and seemed to cause this issue when I had zero experience with it before 1.07. Thought this might have been re-fixed with 1.08 (which is why i'm only just raising this issue now) but no change whatsoever. I just want to be able to play the game without having to disconnect and reconnect my wheel multiple times throughout every play session.
As mentioned above patch 1.07 seems to have broken my FFB when I alt-tab - incredibly annoying since I had no previous issue before the patch and especially considering I am literally forced to alt-tab every single time I play the game due to another issue which heavily caps my frames from my usual above 100fps to around 30fps unless I alt-tab at the beginning of a play session.
And yes, my T248 wheel has the latest drivers (V2.0) and this problem occurs whether the game is in fullscreen or windowed. I am playing from the EA App.
