Fanatec GT DD Pro – How to Fix Severe FFB oscillation after second session
Hi everyone! Since my english is very bad i made the AI wrote this post for me, but those are my real findings after hours of trials and errors, hope this helps!
I wanted to report an issue I was experiencing with my Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro in F1 25, which I have now been able to reproduce and solve.
After updating the GT DD Pro to the latest firmware with FullForce support, I started experiencing extremely violent left/right oscillations of the wheel at higher speeds when driving.
The strange part was that the problem was session-dependent:
- The first session after starting F1 25 was completely normal.
- When starting a second race/session, the FFB would suddenly become unstable.
- At higher speeds, the wheel would violently oscillate left and right on its own, making the car practically undriveable and causing crashes under braking.
- Pausing the game and power-cycling the DD Pro (OFF → ON) would immediately fix the problem.
- However, the problem would return again when starting another session.
I initially suspected an F1 25 issue, especially because this started around the time of the latest game update.
I tried several settings on both fanatec app and F1 game, but none of these provided a satisfactory solution.
The important finding
I downgraded the DD Pro firmware to the last pre-FullForce firmware, available in the v1.4.2.3 Fanatec app Installer:
- GT DD Pro Base: 1.8.0.6
- GT DD Pro Motor: 1.0.3.2
I then tested F1 25 again under the same conditions.
The problem is completely gone.
I tested multiple consecutive sessions without power-cycling the wheelbase, and the violent oscillation did not return.
This makes me strongly suspect that there is a firmware/FFB state-management issue affecting the GT DD Pro with the newer FullForce firmware, rather than this being purely an F1 25 setup issue.
For anyone experiencing the same problem, the pre-FullForce firmware is therefore worth testing.
Obviously, downgrading means losing FullForce functionality, but in my case the difference is dramatic: the DD Pro is completely stable again in F1 25.
I hope this helps other GT DD Pro users who are experiencing the same issue, and hopefully Fanatec can investigate what changed between the pre-FullForce firmware and the current firmware.
System:

If anyone from Fanatec needs additional information or testing, I would be happy to provide it.
