Re: Logitech G923 Strange noises
@Wielewski25 there are many other useful posts here as well. To no one's surprise I guess since we're on the way to hitting 20 pages 🙃
But rest assured that EA does keep track of what is being discussed here.
For instance, in this comment I link a few clips of the G923 and G29 wheels and noises they can produce under normal operating circumstances and parameters, and also differentiate the Trueforce feedback from the regular (DirectInput) FFB, as they're not the same thing.
Trueforce is a proprietary Logitech SDK that produces an extra layer of feedback more akin to the haptic feedback of Dualsense controllers. They can use actual physics data and telemetry to provide that, but most cases they just feed on the audio data from the game to reproduce engine noises, rumble strips, tyre scrubbing etc via vibrations. So Trueforce does not have any impact on the resistance or the forces of the steering column.
@Santial2885 many, many thanks for the video!
To you and everyone else concerned, I've reached out to Logitech with the video kindly provided by Santial2885. They've confirmed that those noise levels are expected for a title running Trueforce effects at 100%, and if what you're experiencing is close to what Santial captured in his video you can carry on playing the game as it should not put your wheel nowhere near breaking 👍
Yes, that noisiness can be annoying as heck, and most people would probably prefer to tone the Trueforce audio down. In the meantime we can all work around the lack of a dedicated Trueforce slider by dialing down the audio effects in the game settings, while PC players also have the option to do that via G Hub in the Trueforce section of the settings.
TL;DR: Noises are frustratingly loud, but normal for the wheel running with Trueforce audio set to 100%. This should not break your wheel. Console and PC players and dial it down by turning audio effects down in the game settings, while PC players can also tone TF effects down in the G Hub software.
Let's hope EA implements a proper Trueforce slider in the game like other simracing titles.
