Force feedback deactivating in race

I have a problem with force feedback temporarily deactivating while driving for a lap or two, then reactivating, mainly in practice or qualifying.  Wheel control is Thrustmaster TMX.

First thing is to update your wheel driver and firmware.

Even if you play on console, you should connect to PC and update the firmware. TMX latest is v17.00

Same issue. Updated to V17 awhile ago. Issues still happens and has been occurring since F1 2021. Buddy in my league experiences the same exact issues on TMX with V17 as well

The force feedback turns off all of a sudden and you have to restart the wheel to have it back.

This Problem accures with every thrustmaster TMX wheel. I have three friends that also use the TMX and they all have the same problem. 

Most of the time it starts happening after about 30min of playing. 
The same thing happened on F1 21 and did not get fixed.

Same issue here, although mine won't re-enable unless I turn my wheel off and on again which isn't exactly ideal mid-race when online. Wheel is a Thrustmaster Tx 458 Italia Edition playing on Xbox Series X. 

Im having the same issue on Xbox series S with the TMX wheel. Suddenly during the race FFB stops working and need to unplug and plug back in to get it working again.

Is this likely to ever be fixed? I've read on other threads about this that it's a bug that's been present since F1 2020. Weird that none of the streamers using Thrustmaster F1 wheels have ever mentioned it though. 

I am not a Techie, but I have had a similar problem, with my Thrustmaster TMX force feedback.  My steering wheel used to completely cut out, I would have to completely restart the wheel sometimes even restart the computer.  It would sometimes be a half hour till I could drive again.  I think what happened with my problem is the Thrustmaster TMX force feedback overheated.  I turned down my Gain settings in the Master Game Settings to 75% (see attached pic). I haven't had a problem since.  Might be worth a try?
