I have just sent an e-mail to a support-expert of EA, just hope they can clarify this. And just go plan for a patch to add force feedback. It shouldn't be that hard I suppose. Since I also read that on the PS3, you can first connect a normal controller and name it "controller 1" and then switch to steering wheel and name that "controller 1" , and you will have full force feedback.
I will keep you all posted on the response I will get from EA / Origin. Let's see if they are going to totally wreck their reputation even further or not?
To be continued...
I just get the reply "post it on the forum" from the support desk. So there it is, goodbye EA! Thanks for screwing up my gameplay experience of the sequel to Burnou Paradise.
You really know how to destroy your reputation. PC gamers with a force feedback steering wheel, just go and watch what Codemasters do. They give good support and I really enjoy Dirt3, a great game with good force feedback. And I'll stick to Burnout Paradise to have some real fun with racing, back in the days that Criterion hadn't sold out to EA and the console-monopoly.
Some of us PC users chose this as our free game from the Sim City launch issues - and now I can't play it with my DFGT? Really EA?
Yes that is the case. Just worst of the worst support form EA. Well no support at all actually. I think this is mainly due to the terrible mindset of "console-first-PC-later, or not at all..." .
I just rather keep an eye out for what Codemasters are going to do, they at least have proper support for Force Feedback Steering Wheels. E.g. in Dirt3.
And if you still want a game that works, just try the good old Criterion game "Burnout Paradise" , it just rocks with the DFGT steering wheel.
