EA WRC Fanatec DD1 not recognised as a controller PS5

My Fanatec DD1 is not properly recognised as a controller. When I load the game it says 'press' but there is no option of a button. I have to use the sense controller to navigate menus. The game recognises the buttons but there is no input. When I go to a stage nothing apart from the pedals work. I have reset the game and tried to in PS Comp mode but still nothing works. 

How do I get the wheel to be properly recognised?

  • Just buy the fanatec Handbrake bc it recognised it as a steering device (i’m so disappointed about this title rn) 🤢🤮

    I have the handbrake. It is showing all of my peripherals but it's just not allowing them to do anything 

  • Hi, I am having the same issue... Buttons work fine navigating PlayStation menu but do nothing in WRC game.. When you access the controls menu everything is showing detected, Wheel, pedals, shifter and handbrake and inputs all register but in game nothing.. Same problem on the start screen.. It's says press and shows nothing but when I connect the PS5 controller the X symbol pops up... 😩

  • Mine doesn't not even recognise my base wheel or pedals  fanatec stickers all through game but doesn't even support some of them wow what a * up

    My Fanatec DD1 is recognized but my brake pedal shows fully engaged and when i go to start a race, i cant go anywhere because the game thinks the brake is fully engaged ( shown as such in the calibration menue as well). I confirmed with F123 that my fanatec dd1 and pedals and everything work fine so its just an issue with this game!??

    Go to the handbrake settings and move up the deadzone a little and it'will work fine. I'd the same problem and resolve it like that.

    Thank you. This worked for launching off the line. I just need to figure out why my wheel isn't working. I connected my formula wheel to see if it could navigate the menus and it works, but when I connect my bmw rim it doesn't recognise any of the buttons.
