Throttle Trigger Vibration on Xbox Series X Controller on Steam

Product: F1 23
Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
Summarize your bug There is no throttle trigger vibration on the Xbox Series X controller, sometimes the brake trigger as well. The controller did work fine for a couple of days, so the problem wasn't there at first, but appeared later. I have tried restarting the game, changing in game options related to force feedback, using new batteries on the controller, verifying the game files, using the latest controller firmware, used wired connection. I tested the controller on F1 21, worked fine. I remember F1 22 having similar issues early after launch so didn't want to test that game.

Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider?
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Single Player
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Plug in an Xbox Series X controller on PC via Steam on Windows 10 and try to complete a lap on time trial. You will see either the throttle trigger does not vibrate or both of them. If they work at first, they will stop vibrating after a while.
What happens when the bug occurs? The throttle trigger or both triggers are dead when they should be giving vibration feedback. Only the regular controller vibration is present.
What do you expect to see? Vibration in the triggers.

Disappointed to see another F1 game that very quickly reveals problems related to controllers on PC, especially after marketing better racing options for the controllers.

  • @HonestXO Sadly this isn't the only model of controller that is currently having a degraded experience or being broken in F1 23. I made a thread about the Dualsense too and seems like it got broken at a similar point in time.

    Ironically the Dualsense has the opposite issue to the Series controller, triggers haptics are working, but no vibration in the handles themselves.

    Was broken in F1 2021, got fixed, broken again in F1 22, got fixed again (albeit Dualsense never got fixed at all in F1 22).
    The fact that it is broken again just indicates that they are porting bugs and features from a point in before they had previously fixed it in the previous game.

    Not fully related to this issue specifically, but it shows that there's a pattern of controllers not working properly in F1 23: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Bug-Reports/PC-No-vibration-rumble-with-Dualsense-controller/m-p/12652240/highlight/true#M58

    Just tested to see if maybe the patch did something. No luck. The throttle trigger is DOA. The brakes work fine (at least when you start the game), but that's it. 

  • Same issue here, only with the throttle trigger strangely... 

    I've tried enabling and disabling Steam Input, which made no difference.
