Re: Mysterious ffb issue brand new csl dd

@Sw1ftStorm_ wrote:

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

No it appears you covered everything then.

Can only think that Fanatec are still working out the issues with the new DD wheelbase. I have the CSL-E 1.1 with the Formula 2.5 (F1 2020 LE) so the wheelbase is more mature. Had an “invisible” wheelbase after one firmware update (cured by Fanatec SOP) but otherwise been fairly consistent. F1 22 I mainly used Thrustmaster but that’s gone now, too much intransigence from them for my liking. Voted with feet.

I agree the game has issues, but maybe I have lower expectations. I’ve logged about 400 hours in 17 and 18. Less than 100 in F1 22 and expected in F1 23.

    I had the elite before the DD aswel, always worked flawless.

    The last thing I’m trying now is installing a clean windows 11 with just firmware and f1 23 installed. I am running windows 10 currently which hasn’t been reinstalled for a year or so - although I doubt this is going to fix it.

    I guess I’ll keep an eye on future fanatec / f1 23 updates. For now I can atleast play older F1 games (I already had 19, 20, 21 from the time I had my CSL Elite).

    In case the windows reinstall fixed it, I will come back here to update! And thanks for taking time to reply even though you’re out of office!!

    Even a clean install of Windows and and all software, the issue persists. 

    Edit: I found a workaround to make it work. At the start of a race I restart base and launch into Pc Compability mode on the DD. After that it works until the next race. And repeat.
