Hi, I received my DD+ with GT Extreme wheel a few days ago, but the game doesn't recognize the wheel and I can't play, in the settings it doesn't display the wheel and doesn't receive any input, I ca...

My DD Extreme is recognized as a CSL Elite in the game. I can use the wheel to drive however I cannot use the wheel to navigate menus or hit pause etc. I must use a separate controller to navigate all menus and settings. This was never an issue with my DD pro. Hope this gets fixed ASAP as I play WRC 90% of the time.

@Redxtreeman33 I appreciate sending this over! I have passed it along to the team!
Cheers!
- @EA_Shepard are there any news about this topic. I'm also having the same exact problem. The wheel is recognized in the controller settings as the DD PRO and whenever I'm trying to push the buttons on the gt7 SW they show up on the menu but the game still doesn't recognize them to navigate in the menu.
My ps5 is upgraded to the latest version as the Ea WRC game.
Also the firmware of both steering wheel and wheel base are upgraded to the firmware update. Hope this problem will be fixed asap. - EA_Shepard
@simart4 We just left a meeting on peripherals. They are making some updates and changes, but not a specific update on it yet that we have.
Just to follow up, the biggest thing on this is to basically start over.
Remove the PC drivers and uninstall them.
Remove all USB devices that you can from the console
Hook everything back up on PC, install all updated drivers etc
I am sending the thread again to the team to look at. It will be up to them to test everything out and see if they can reproduce it on that console. It could be something small, or that a driver is not being recognized.
@EA_Shepard It's been almost 6 months, and it still doesn't work. It's shameful of EA and Codemasters to treat us consumers this way. I will never buy a new EA product again, only second hand. I will try to ask for a refund from Sony, due to the inability to play due to your fault.
@EA_Shepard can you provide any update on this issue? Its been 2 months since the last WRC patch...
I am on PC and am experiencing the same issue as those on ps5 since the game does not recognize the dd+ extreme wheel.
I have same problem.
I use PS5.
Got Fanatec DD+ Extreme.Update it.
With game EA Sports WRC no support for my wheel.
Can't use interface,I must use pad for that.
No Force Feedback at all.
Stearing is just wrong.
EA please hepl.
Hello,
Since the new 2024 update, is it better with the Gran Turismo DD EXTREME ?
Thank you
I was super excited about my DD extreme, WRC was the first game I loaded up and of course it has issues recognizing the wheel.
Super disappointing.
My super old belt driven club sport wheel worked fine, and my brand new DD extreme does not. Please update and fix this ASAP.
Fanatec dd extreme with wheel. PC win 10
I can steer, I can bind buttons to racing controls such as head lights and shifting, but I cannot navigate any menus, zero buttons work for settings. I the options menu it does assign numbers to buttons, but as I mentioned they only work for racing, not menus.
I have to use mouse and keyboard for everything outside of driving.
It detects as a CSL DD. If I put the wheelbase in compatibility mode it detects a club sport wheelbase but an error/exclamation on the wheel itself.
PS5 mode does the same, PC mode does have force feedback.
- @Redxtreeman33 This thread is for the 15Nm DD+ Extreme base, not the 5Nm/8Nm DD Pro base.
