Controller Force Feedback issues

Product: F1 22
PlatformSteam-PC
Summarize your bug After speaking to various Controller players across all consoles/platforms we have all said the same thing. The FFB feels like it is glitched or something along with lines as there is pretty much no feeling of the car at all (the turning feels very light, no vibrations). Would appreciate if you guys could look into this, as its making it really hard to drive or feel the car even on maximum FFB settings
Which area is the bug/glitch in? TT
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If you compare the FFB from this game to the last few games you will be able to see the difference easily.
What happens when the bug occurs? It's like there is no feeling or FFB when braking or accelerating. Which makes it really hard to drive. Even when I put it to 150 FFB, it still feels the same and has the same issue
What do you expect to see? Force feedback when braking and accelerating, and feeling resistance when turning. Even over the kerbs and stuff it still feels really weak and hardly there at all.

It happens EVERYWHERE (career mode, online, quick races).

  • No 360 degree bend. Look at the handlebars on the Monaco Rosehear pin!
    It's bent when it's stopped!
    Isn't that what happens at other tracks?

    We should not buy next game then they might learn a lesson, as long as game companies keep printing money they won't give a * about peasents complaining about fundamental stuff

    So, still no response, but we got an update in the "Community Issues"-Thread:

    1. 🆕 Inconsistent force feedback when using a controller (PC)
      • In testing, this problem seemed to affect older controllers only. In order to fix this, the resulting effect would break features of newer controllers. Therefore, a decision was made not to make this change.

    Not only is this not the problem that was repeated over and over in this thread (no one uses older controller as far as I can see from this thread), there is still no answer to this thread. I know it can be hard to admit that the developers probably messed up FFB this year, but TALK TO US.

    Very lovely... I swear to god the feedback has been going worse and worse in the past two to three years and now they can't even fix it. The best part is that it's not only about PC but this also affects me in PS4 & PS5

    theyre * joke, theyre doing this to make people buy wheel

  • It have never worked properly for me. Have had a small bit of ffb sometimes, but not nearly enough to be drivable.

    I assume EA now are working on the f123 game. It will be * as well unless they build it from scratch.

    F12020 worked quite well, some bugs, but I think they sorted it out.

    F12021 had a lot of bugs but didnt have the FFB issues for me. 1 year after the release they still hadnt resolved many of the online bugs, so I was a bit sceptic to what would be in F122, but I had faith and bought it anyways.

    Regret I did. Waste of money and energy.

    The game had potential, but all the bugs and lack of FFB killed this game for me.

    In the league I`ve been attending I have seen a big frustration among the competitors and many have now resigned. Many have sold their expensive racing gear such as Fanatec and so on. F122 has destoryed many peoples interest in racinggames. Its a shame because it was a lot of fun and brought a lot of comitment in getting as good as possible.

    I have uninstalled the game and it wont be active in my libary again.

    F123 will not be bought by me, I know many more wont, and I hope that most people wont. It is the only pressure we can give the creators of this bugged out game!

    Just looking through this thread and witness the lack of feedback from EA shows us how little they care. Not even an apology.

    To me that is just unprofessional and arrogant!

    I've had the same issue on Xbox but just whenever I join a party chat thr game becomes unplayable. Audio stutters and ffb on controller keeps disappearing and coming back ever 1 or 2 seconds.

    Funny how this glitch has been in the game since it came out and hasn't been fixed yet.

    Really just shows ea once again ruining a game with bugs. 

    I love f1 and been playing since 2018 but since ea took over it isn't worth playing.

    Does ea even care about its customers or are they only in it to make as much money as possible?

  • I have the same issue on Steam - Xbox One Controller

    I thought it was my controller that was the issue as F1 is really the only game I play with a controller and I don't own an Xbox anymore, so I went and spent £70 on a new Xbox X controller thinking it was my controller that was having the issue, but then find out I have the same issue no matter what controller I use.

    For me this is not a consistent problem, some days it works fine and I join online games and get punted across the map by some back marker and can feel it through the controller fine, other days (50/50 pot luck I would say) it doesn't work, its more that the FFB doesn't operate at all and I have also noticed when the FFB doesn't operate the game runs jittery/guttery even though my FPS is around the 60 mark and stable.

    Re-load game and the problem goes away, not ideal but liveable for the time being, just really bloody annoying especially if you just find a lobby that you were after.

    I would say this has been happening for a long time, and still no fix, starting to lose my patience with the developer to actually resolve this as I can see I am not the only one still experiencing this.
