Hello committee, anyone is using the T818 SF1000 to play F125? I am facing a loose wheel sometimes when a race is done in a league and i am going to the next race, all buttons work normally but i cannot turn right or left it feels like not responding and all FFB are totally lost, I keep on switching the base on and off and removing the SF1000 wheel to have work again, anyone faced such problem? Is it an issue in the game and need an update?
🐞 URGENT BUG REPORT — Ranked Multiplayer (F1 25, PS5) — Thrustmaster SF1000
Platform: PS5
Wheel: Thrustmaster SF1000
Wheel Base: T-GT II
Game Version: F1 25 (Digital Edition)
Affected Mode: Ranked Multiplayer (Qualifying & Race)
---
🛠 Description of the Issue
When racing in Ranked Multiplayer, if I modify the setup (any parameter: wings, differential, suspension, etc.) during qualifying or race, the game breaks:
❌ Extreme understeer: the car barely turns, even when steering fully.
❌ Force Feedback completely disappears.
✅ Throttle and braking still work — but steering has no real effect.
This issue only happens in Ranked, not in Time Trial, Grand Prix, or offline modes. It’s 100% reproducible after touching the setup during the session
🧪 What I've Tried
Calibrating the wheel and pedals in-game.
Switching between control profiles during the session.
Using the default setup.
Clearing PS5 cache.
Reinstalling the game.
Testing in all other game modes (also same issue)
🧠 Root Cause Hypothesis
The issue seems to be a bug in how F1 25 handles input mapping and physics re-initialization after applying setup changes in Ranked sessions:
The steering axis becomes "disconnected" from the car physics.
FFB is lost, and front grip disappears completely (as if you're driving on ice).
Steering input still shows movement visually, but does not affect car behavior.
🔧 Please investigate and patch this bug urgently.
This bug makes RRankedans the others mode unplayable for anyone using the Thrustmaster SF1000, as setup changes completely break the car's steering and force feedback system.
We’re happy to provide more logs, videos, or tests if needed.
Thank you.
Let me know if you want me to:
Prepare this in video form (for easier impact on EA Help) or help monitor official replies from EA.
Ready to assist with the next step.
I have the t818 and sf1000 set up as well and I’m dealing with the same thing. Feels like such crap. Does anyone know if it’s a settings or a game update problem?
