Controller works in menus but not on track

I'm playing F1 25 on PC-Steam, sometimes I have this issue where my Microsoft Xbox 360 wired controller works fine on the menus but when I go on track some buttons don't work, I can't shift gears or drive the car properly. I've never had this issue with any other game.

I go back to the main menu, check my settings, all buttons work fine when I test them in the settings screen, restarted the game, unplugged the controller and plugged back on, tried different USB ports, but still have the same issue. I played the game a few hours ago and everything worked fine but now the controller doesn't work properly when on track and I can't drive the car.

Anyone had this issue? Any idea on how to fix it?

BTW I really wish CM included the option from the older games to completely disable all the built-in controller filters/dampers that can't be turned of and cause input lag. Those filters/dampers make the controls less responsive.

    I'm having the same issue, but mine is with the wireless controller and even when I plug this in with a USB cable directly into MY PC, I am still getting the "disconnection error". It worked for a while yesterday for abut 30 mins then reverted back to the same error message!!This ONLY happens when I play F1 25, it doesnt happen on ANY other games I have to use my xbox controller. The game has become unplayable now and EA are not even responding or addressing this!!

    Hey there,

    Thank you very much for your report. This is quite a difficult issue to reproduce, so I'll need to ask you a couple of questions:

    1. Do you have any action maps set?
    2. Do you have Steam setting for controllers on or off?
    3. Can you give us a little bit more information on the setup you use?

     

    Thanks!

    1. by action maps do you mean 3rd party software to remap buttons? If so, then no.
    2. On (default settings, Xbox controller)
    3. Microsoft Xbox 360 wired controller, steering rate at 160, steering saturation at 50, everything else at minimum, Y button to shift up, X button to shift down.

    This is a really random bug, sometimes the game works fine, sometimes controller doesn't work on track.

    Hey there FS7_x1​ 

    Thanks for the report and for coming back to me so quickly!

    By action maps, I mean what control scheme you have set up in F1.

    Can you also see if you still have keyboard control?

    Could you also attach a Dxdiag?

    Finally, if you can get a screenshot of your Steam setup, that might help.

    I'm attaching screenshots of my controller settings.

    As for keyboard, there's something odd with F1 25. Usually when I load the game keyboard doesn't work, but if I press the windows key and click the F1 25 icon on the taskbar then I can use keyboard. 

    I haven't had this bug happen in the past week, but whenever it happens again I'll see if I can attach the Dxdiag thing.
