Re: PLEASE FIX THE RANDOM STEERING LOCKS PC

@abozaid241994

Hi,

We've received no other current reports about steering issues. If you are experiencing such issues yourself then try tuning your car in a different manner.

If you are experiencing long loading times, crashes or other related issues, then please go through the steps in our PC troubleshooting guide:

http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/PC-Ask-For-Assistance-With-Game-Launch-and-Crash/td-p/5235349

Should you experience lag, then I would recommend to go through our connection troubleshooting articles:

Note: try restarting your router and make sure to always use a wired connection if available

Not in every race, of course, but things do happen.

its not because of connection or my pc specs ! I have intel i5 4690k msi gaming 3 motherboard 8gb ddr3 memory and NVidia 970 gtx gpu ! I will post a video from the game how sometimes the steering will not respond and let my drive straight to crash or hit walls !

Those links are all four to five months old which is why I referred to "current" reports. Additionally, the total number of reports is low which most likely indicates one of the following issues that users are experiencing:

Controller issues

Tuning settings

Lag

We haven't been able to find any other cause of these reported steering locks on both console and PC. At this point in time I don't have anything further to add and I would instead recommend to check any of the above in case this keeps happening for you.

Thank you for clarification. You mentioned lag as a possible cause. So, can you confirm that steering requires connection to servers?

Confirmed.
