    @eqyw0p2onrkoIf the wheel base you have is either the Fanatec CSL DD or GT DD Pro, you need to check on the QR shaft, as having it come out even a slightest can cause the wheel rim to disconnect from the wheel base. If it does, push it back in and tighten the clamp-type collar (that held down the shaft).

    Also, if you forgot to update the firmware on Fanatec wheel base, wheel rim and pedals for a long time, you might need to do so using the update utility that the Fanatec driver came with.

    I am on PS5 and my QR is seated properly. I also updated all devices to current firmware and removed all accessories from my PS5 except the wheel. Still, the „input device changed“ error warning keeps popping up and there are multiple wheelbases connected at once in the input-menu. The wheel works fine in the PS5 UI and all other games, so there has to be a bug in WRC.

  • Exactly, it must come from WRC. My wheel base is the CSW 2.5 and my wheel the CSL V2. This game is the only one that cause my this issue, AC, ACC, Dirt 2.0, RF2, AMS 2, BeamNG... All of those work very fine with my setup.

  • I have a CSW v2.5 (in PC mode) with the CS Universal Hub v2 on PC.
    I too have the same problem of spontanious disconnects with the "Steering input device has changed" message. It happens to me with different intervals (so no fixed time between). The shaft has no play while racing, so I guess that can't be the source of the problem. No other game (PCars 1/2, Dirt Rally 1/2, Assetto Corsa) I play has the same issue.

    Tried something last night that seems to work:
    While in the game (in my case in the main menu) i took the wheel off the base and reseated it again (firmly). I even added the locking bolt later.
    With or without the locking bolt in place the problem didn't occur anymore.
    I guess this game is very sensitive to very minute connection losses, where all the other games are not. I can't come to a different conclusion than this one.

    does not work on PS5 unfortunately. I have QR2 which is rock solid and detaching/attaching the wheel does not improve anything, the game still constantly switches between the multiple recognized wheelbases.

    Still not fixed after two patchs. I paid for the game in early access and still can't play it with my wheel, this is beyond disappointing.
