Community AdminI just don’t understand why yesterday I’m playing this game with my controller and today it doesn’t work because you guys implemented a patch that says must use controller and wheel. News flash, most people, including myself and 3 friends I play the game with, probably do not own a wheel..... so I suggest an immediate fix, because I’m not buying a wheel for this game when I can just play The Crew and Forza without one. I’m currently reinstalling the game to see if it works, but if it doesn’t hope there is a hot fix coming within the next hour.
Community Admin@SSMikeGesus Hey, there isn't a need for a wheel, just a pad should be fine.
Reinstalling generally isn't effective, so if you haven't started yet please hold off.
For some folks a hard reset by holding the front button until a shutdown, then disconnecting the power for a minute, might work, but unfortunately not for everyone.
This is being looked into in this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Controller-not-working-on-heat/m-p/8688180#M4563
By pad, do you mean controller? Because I only have controllers and yes I’ve tried everything listed around.
Reinstalling worked for me
I'll try to reinstall the game once I get back home and see if it works on my end
Edit:: SOLVED::: I had Logitech gaming software installed as well as Logitech g hub (since g hub isn’t that great to be honest). I disabled auto-start on bootup in Logitech gaming software, while still having g hub on auto-start on boot, then re-booting my pc. Game recognises my G920 wheel now.
OLD: Game says My G920 wheel isn’t supported on PC, with g hub installed. Wheel works fine in other games. I can see the new wheel options menu, so it’s updated.
Its probably a driver issue, since it’s recognising SOMETHING, but what it is, I don’t know. G hub says drivers are updated, as does windows when I try update drivers through device manager.
Btw; g hub recognises heat and changes to the heat profile when I boot up the game, so the problem seems to be at the game end. Again, feels like a driver issue. But I can’t see what the game recognises. Would be nice if there was an option in-game to pick which device you want to use as a wheel.
After reinstalling the game for my Xbox one, still the same result. I cannot press the A button to start the dang game. I wasted money on this and this update ruined everything plus all that hard work grinding to get cars, going to the night to get all the parts is all gone.
And still no update on this fix, not happy about this. I hope you fix this soon and give your gamers with is issue something in return for this mess.
