so, i'm back. nothing worked, nothing changed. i paid for my 3days of early access but i can't play.
still NOT working.
EA wtf you guys are doing every day at work? must be aweasome working there, no problems to solve hahaha, just coffee and small chat all day.
Couple of resources for you people to try;
Driver Cleaner (Logitech) (Dropbox)
GHub (older, don't update) (Logitech) (Dropbox) AFAIK this is the last version for Windows 7 or Windows 8, so maybe installing and running as Windows 7 compatibility mode may be useful?
It seems the G923 firmware update is offered only via GHub if required, so you could install the newest, update the firmware then downgrade GHub. Or YMMV, so note the firmware and test either way. I believe the firmware will be a one way shot, so be aware you can't revert if you take it.
Ok, I found a "fix". It makes no sense, but it works for me 100%.
It's sooooooooo simple: you have to open Discord an get in a voice channel BEFORE you open F1 22 (and keep it this way).
So steps are:
1. Open Discord.
2. Join a voice channel (it doen't matter if you are muted or alone, just get in).
3. Open F1 22.
And magically ffb is back. I know it sounds brainless, but it worked for me.
However no rpm lights, but at least I have ffb and I can play.
I tried again today, I had Discord open but I didn't join a voice channel before opening the game, and no ffb. Then I closed the game, I joined a voice channel and opened F1 22 again and ffb is back again lol.
Hope this to work for you all guys. Please let me know!

So you play in a window or Borderless fullscreen? Yep. I used to call this the 'lost focus' bug, it's to do with the DWM / Overlays.
All the overlays I use work in Fullscreen exclusive - DX12 has a feature called Full-screen optimisation. Never been able to get a straight answer out of CM as to whether it's implemented correctly but
Demystifying Fullscreen Optimizations - DirectX Developer Blog (microsoft.com)
I run in fullscreen and the overlays work no issues, I tend to investigate those when they break. And yes, Steam and Discord have often had issues. Only other one I really use is Afterburner, even that hasn't been immune.
