Platform: PS5
Device: DualSense Controller
Game Mode: Multiplayer / League Race
Report Code: HGJS-SJHL-TXXD-CRTG
Issue Description:
I am experiencing a recurring and frustrating bug with the Force Feedback on my DualSense controller during online League Races.
Suddenly, and often coinciding with another player leaving the lobby, the controller stops transmitting the weight of the car. This makes it almost impossible to feel the grip limit or the car's balance, making the driving experience numb and unpredictable. Interestingly, while the steering weight and main FFB disappear, the vibrations for the kerbs sometimes remain active.
The only temporary fix is to quickly pause the game. However, once I return to the race, the Force Feedback only comes back for the duration of the next braking zone, before disappearing again as soon as I start accelerating. In a competitive League Race, this is extremely dangerous and often leads to losing positions or crashing.
Steps taken:
Adaptive Triggers: Set to "Medium".
Vibration/FFB settings: 100 (though I have tried lowering them).
UDP Telemetry: Mostly OFF or set to 20Hz.
Connection: The issue occurs regardless of the connection method: I have experienced it both while playing wireless and while using a wired USB connection.
Is this a known issue with the PS5 haptic feedback synchronization in multiplayer? Are there any official workarounds?
