Product: Need for Speed Heat Platform:Steam-PC Summarize your bugI have a Logitech G25 and the game doesn't seem to be recognizing it. I also tried getting it working with x360ce as I've seen in some YouTube videos, but it's not seeing my controller in the game even though it shows up fine in x360ce. Is it possible to add support for this controller? From my understanding, it's very similar to the G27 except it's missing a few steering wheel buttons.Z I tried using a Maxrace F-1 v3, but this makes it show up as a PS3 controller which also isn't supported. Since it's already not working with x360ce, I'm assuming this method would also not work. What car were you using? Was the car your own build or downloaded from the in-game community?Personal Build What was the last event you played? Was it a day or a night event? How often does the bug occur?Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?1. Plug in a Logitech G25. 2. Try to play NFS: Heat. 1. Add x360ce 64-bit into the installation directory. 2. Configure for the G25. 3. Doesn't work in-game. What happens when the bug occurs?The G25 isn't recognized. What do you expect to see?I expect to see the G25 working in the game.
I bought this controller years ago and have been looking for a game play it with. I see no reason to spend nearly $400 on a new on considering this one works just fine. I'm not a simulation racer, so I'd rather not be forced into buying something new when I'm sure there are plenty of these G25s out in the wild.
It appears as I had a setting in Steam controllers which I shouldn't have.
After I unchecked "Generic Gamepad Configuration Support", the G25 was recognized as an unsupported steering wheel controller, but at least it let me drive.
At this point, I'm looking to remap the controls. You can do this with a keyboard or controller, but for some reason, when a steering wheel is used, control remapping goes out the window. Any reason why that might be? The G25 has more controls than the officially-supported G29, but the button mappings don't seem to be correct for the G25 in NSF: Heat.

Did you get your G25 working on need for speed heat ? I have this downloading now and have a g25 that’s the only reason I brought as some friends have it on Xbox and it is cross play but there is no way I can play this with a keyboard. Hate how you got a response 1st time as well but nothing to your further questions
Yes, I did get it working with Need for Speed Heat 😉.
The Fix
The key was both installing the Logitech G Hub (even though the G25 doesn't show up in there) and unchecking that Steam controller box.
Remapping For remapping controls, I used the official Logitech SetPoint software. You should already have it installed for the G25. I set up controls for NFS Heat, but had to force it to globally use those controls when playing the game because sometimes Windows will pop something up and SetPoint will no longer know that NFS Heat is the active Window. Possible an issue with Origin because it doesn't happen in DiRT Showdown or Driver: San Fransisco (older games from other companies).
Lastly, I needed to do one last thing. The arrow keys aren't mapped correctly on the G25, so for my config, I also mapped those to keyboard keys as there was no equivalent mapping on the G25.
Below is my exported NFS Heat config. This uses custom remapped controls; not the same as the G29, but does give a good overview of how to remap controls for NFS Heat.
When I press the gas pedal it accelerates for a fraction of a second after which the pedal is without function. The same happens with the brake pedal. Everything else works without problems. Do you have any idea what it could be?
Been trying to figure it out cause ima idiot and i can't get the paddles to work
