Wheel rotation settings ignored in multiplayer mode

Product: F1 24
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug The bug only happens in multiplayer mode, my wheel is just not working as it should be when it comes to maximum rotation (and probably other things but that one is the most noticeable one). Even if it would'nt make sense to me, I made sure my wheel was up to date with latest firmwares. It really feels like the game just ignore the wheel setting where I set "200°" maximum rotation and use the default 400 instead. Also it seems that only the last degrees of direction really affetcs the turning angle resulting in me having to do a whole rotation of the wheel in every corner. It stays like this for the whole qualification session even if I : - disconnect/reconnect the wheel - quit/rejoin the session - close/reopen the game - restart the PS5 - activate/disable the controller settings in the menu - activate/disable the DualSense I also used Then comes the race, and the bug is still there in the formation lap. The race starts and at that point the bug seems "lighter", I mean that I can drive but in very "hard turning" corners I have difficulties. I can manage to drive like that even if I'm not really performant at all. Then I enter the box for a pit stop and when exiting the box everyting is back to normal, like if suddenly the game remembers the setting and apply it again, and it won't go away until the end of the session. It happened to me the 3 times I went to play online... 2 sessions were with crossplay enabled and 1 without. I didn't try to do another session after this so I don't know if it would be back or not.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? MMEG-ETEX-GTJG-THEG
What peripherals are you using? Please list the exact make and model. Thrustmaster T300-RS with SF-1000 wheel and T-LCM pedals.
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Proximus
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
Did you have cross-play enabled? No
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Connect a T300RS, set the wheel rotation max angle to 200. Go in time trial and check that the 200° rotation is correctly respected. Then join a session you were invited to with at least a qualif session (short one or full). Go out to perform a lap and notice that the rotation setting is no more respected.
What happens when the bug occurs? My wheel needs me to do a whole rotation even in small corners, going way further than 200° max rotation setting I set.
What do you expect to see? The wheel should be soft block at 200° or, at least, the direction should be at 100% when I hit the 200° rotation with the weel.

I posted a message in a topic where prople are having same kind of trouble, @TheGranDada  for example has the exact same problem as I do.

But I just noticed that this topic was marked as "solved" so I open a new one.

  • I managed to find a workaround for my session of today, but I need to validate it on monday :

    - Start the game, go in a time trial, play a bit until the wheel feels ok (sometimes need to go back to garage via the menu

    - Then join the session without leaving the game

    - When going out of the box the wheel won't turn at all

    - Disconnect/reconnect the wheel then run a little bit (it's in the "soft" mode of the bug so it's playable but a little bit weird)

    - go back in the box and go out again and voilà it's gone.

    The next session (Race) I didn't experience any problem neither.

    A lot of step to do just to have a little bit fun online with friends, don't you think ?

    Yesterday I played some time trial and accepted the inivitation to the lobby directly and didn't have the problem at all, so maybe this problem occurs when the game is launched via the PSN invitation on the PS5 home menu, I mean if I directly join the session without heading into a time trial session (or something outline) the problem appears.
