    Same here with PS5, after latest patch the DD Pro keeps disconnecting all the time. Sometimes i can almost finish the stage, but usually it disconnect within 20s from the stage start. And after restarting the DD Pro it works but FFB is lost. 

    I noticed that in the control menu, there is DD Pro twice, the actual one which i can edit and calibrate, and another which i can only delete.  That didn't happened before the latest patch. And the second one keeps coming back. 

    There has been lots of issues with this game, but this makes the game unplayable for me.

    Same here!

    I put the game down for the last two months due to how frustrated I have grown with my DD Pro not working, to any useable extent, with WRC. Can't say I'm excited to have tried again to find the exact same issue persists. 

    How needs to get their crap together to get this fixed?  FANATEC is a partner, for god's sake. 

    I have no force feedback and have the disconnect issue.  But, I can fired up Dirt 2.0 and it works perfectly.  Fire up GT7 and it works perfectly. 

    This is beyond embarrassing

    Yep, same here, latest patch didn’t fix the issue. It might be due the handbrake (Fanatec). I disconnected it and with short testing it seemed to help, at least i was able to finish the stage for a long time 😅
    I’m not gonna play this without handbrake, but if others have similar findings, maybe EA can look at it.

  • I was having issues before latest patch and now I can’t even play the game it just keeps on disconnecting my wheel !!!!  
    before the latest patch I had issues with car stuck on start line then when I got that fixed now I have no force feedback!!! And now this disconnect issue. I contacted ae and they are F*****g useless not interested I really don’t know what to do !!!! 

  • I'm now getting this with gamepad on PC after the last update and it has made the game unplayable.
