I'd like to start by sharing how phenomenal the GRID Legends product is.
However, the previous GRID Legends update (It had another update last night prior to me testing if the Thrustmaster steering wheel failing to steer the cat in race, despite indications within the start GUI that it was working) seemd to have invoked the following issue:
I did a little research and there are suggestions the USB Driver could have been corrupted on the console as a result of using a wired controller as opposed to the steering wheel. (EDIT - I've since provedn this is NOT THE CASE by using a previous GRID product with the same sterring wheel successfully - therefore proving the problem is in GRID Legends).
I'm loathe to do a factory reset on the console - the game updates themselves take forever to download. Grid Legends has a large update which is now installing, hopefully that'll iron out the steering wheel calibrating fine, giving every indication via the Game Test GUI pre race that it is ok, then failing to steer the car during the race.
Post XBOX update AND Grid Legends Latest update.
7 minutes to load Grid Legends 1st time. Tried racing in career mode - problem reported that steering wheel fails to provide input to the game persists.
Tried to quit. Took 1-2 mins to navigate back to UI. Tried to choose options - Game crashed an XBox powered Off without user interaction.
Restarted XBox, load time still excessive > 8 minutes. Navigated straight to Controls, Steering wheel input is being detected within Controls UI and shows deflection to left and right, following steering wheel input.
Tried different, ginetta cup within rookie cup: Seemed to work very briefly, before the XBox 'Choose a plan that's right for you' was presented on the screen?
Has Grid Legends got some tie-in with the XBox Store which is corrupting the executable?
Pressed B to get back to game whereby was eliminated. Restarted Race - No Steering Input being fed to the car despite it being displayed within the Controls Section of the UI that it is being detected.
Inclined to raise a separate Fault for this to be addressed as a stand alone incident.

Steering Wheel works fine with an earlier Grid product, Not the Legends variant as reported above. Looks like I won't be using Legends until this is resolved. Grid Legends was a product I was happy to pay full price for, instead of waiting for a second hand copy. I appreciate the complexities of such a complex product, I hope Codemasters can resolve the issue soon.
