so, i'm back. nothing worked, nothing changed. i paid for my 3days of early access but i can't play.
@DieuMoustachos Try bumping the FFB strength all the way to 150.
It kind of feels normal...? I'm not sure.
- @yungsc00b even with 150 off ffb strength, nothing. it's exactly like @JakubB_077 message
still NOT working.

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.
- @xFranii da * ??? i will try that later, if it's working... my god ahahah
@xFranii this is an interesting pattern that I never picked up on, but I want to say for me it is the opposite? FFB only ever doesn't work for me when racing in my tuesday night discord league. I always join the discord and THEN launch the game, and I never have FFB.... will have to test this thanks for pointing this out.
- @SteveJackson Hy man, how are you?
Already tried that =( - SteveJackson3 years agoHero (Retired)

Exact opposite for me. I join Discord and Run Afterburner BEFORE starting the game. But I start Steam and then run F1 22. When the game hooks I get the Steam ALT SHIFT message, then after the Splash Afterburner hooks in and then I get the Discord Press SHIFT ' to toggle the overlay.
I never ALT-TAB without ALT-ENTER but as I can run the Discord and Steam overlays fine, I rarely need to. Also run ReLive (Radeon Settings) overlay too. Have it on Hotkeys so I don't even have to use the overlay though.
Plus, my wheel is a Thrustmaster and it was proper broke until it was fixed in 21.
I have a Logitech G920, what fixed it for me was;
- Uninstall Logitech GHUB with RevoUninstaller
- Verify game files
- Reinstall Logitech GHUB
Before uninstalling, be sure to export your profile incase you have custom button mappings.
Just did some extensive testing. I can confirm my situation is the exact opposite as yours. I play in fullscreen mode, and my FFB DOES NOT WORK when I am IN A DISCORD VS.
If I exit the game, and exit the VC, FFB works. If I alt-tab out of the game and join a VC, FFB immediately stops working.
