[PC]Can't Accelerate, Handbrake Stuck, Controller Doesn't Work

First sorry for my English.
- I'm from Denmark and user (google to help)

Video: https://youtu.be/vw1QHZjs0Ac
(
Sorry for the low FPS)

I have attached a link to a video.
As most precise, showing my problem with my car.

I can not run more than 85 times, when it finally hits the 85th
go on down to the approximately 60-70. And I must then accelerates again.
-- I can use nitro boost my speed to about 95 km/t


- This is very frustrating.

At the end of the clip, I keep quiet and, the car accelerates again.
But in fact, I keep the handbrake fully.
shortly after it switches from neutral to reverse.
and in the eye blinks I do not keep "space bar" below.
then reverses after switching to reverse.

-------------------------------------

I have been in contact EA Customer Support.
Unfortunately, this is an error indicates to be incorporated in the game.
and I would therefore like to know if anyone else has the same mistake, or something similar.

Need for coming focusing on this problem so that it can be corrected by "Ghost Game".

So I and others can enjoy the game, with this error, it's not just because I will be first in the queue for the game (when it is released)

-------------------------------------

I have tried the following:
I removed the webcam, headset and mouse. from my computer.
In order to be sure that is not the result of a hardware failure.

I started the game with windows 7 properties.
Then vehicles; p with with and without admin.
Have also tried me with admin in windows 10th

I have Rydet cache files (origin), and windows cache files.
I boot my windows 10 with clean startup settings.
And other little things I can not remember.

No, this has corrected the error, and therefore there is great reason to believe.
it is an error in the coding of the game.

    If you found a solution or workaround that you want added to the sticky, please send me a private message.

    Additional solution by @Malikh822, if you are using an Xbox One S controller:

    Spoiler
    My short term solution is to plug your Xbox One S controller into the computer using Micro USB and downloading "Xbox Accessories" via the Windows 10 app store to update the controller. I was then able to use the controller to play the game, but only when connected via the Micro USB cord.

    I end up getting a refund from steam. 

    What I found tho:

    - changing remote sensibility help but does not fix the issue

    - while holding the nitro button, the car does not brake itself anymore. 

    I will definitely avoid EA from now on.

  • I have found and workaround.

    I have changed the accelerator to the right stick up and brakes to the rigt stick down.

    IT WORKS, but You have to change the handbrake and nitrous buttons so you can reach em while accelerating.

    Cheers!

  • Help, how to run the gamepad through Bluetooth connection and not the wire?(XBox One S controller)

    It is now December 20, 2023. I played this game fully on PS4 and wanted to replay it on pc, since I don't own a console anymore. Just asked for a refund on Steam since the game is just UNPLAYABLE. Come on bro, the game is from 2016 and they still can't figure their * out?

    I have an Xbox One controller, and my solution was to upgrade the controller's firmware through the "Xbox Accessories" Windows app. This is described here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-Need-for-Speed-Games/PC-Troubleshooting-for-Wheels-Controllers-Controls/td-p/5230054.

    The upgrade alone won't fix all the glitches. For example, I still have to unplug my keyboard in order to play with the controller, otherwise the car will keep braking constantly and struggle to speed up - or sometimes it will accellerate on its own.

    P.S. I am able to play wirelessly - on bluetooth, contrary to what is said on that page.

    UPDATE: no, it stopped working wirelessly. Only cable now.

    First time buying an EA game here. I've heard of EA's bad reputation, but to see it for myself...
