ERS deploy multiple issues: workarounds

Multiple ERS issues making the game unplayable. Across all modes including breaking point, TT and ranked, with controller and wheel on PS5. All over span of 6ish hours with multiple console restarts.

a.) ERS Stuck at 100% despite any effort to deploy battery (overtake button or changing deploy mode), when this happens the car gives 0 electrical output and as a result you race at 75% pace. Permitted output per lap or “green bar” doesn’t move, and still 100% however when overtake is pressed (and not engaged) the ERS mode does change to overtake and show red but of course doesn’t use any energy thus keeping battery at 100.

b.)ERS misbehaving in manual mode; It seems this year there is a new harvesting indicator on the HUD. That is pretty’s cool, however at the moment my game is choosing to harvest down the main straight if I don’t have overtake button pushed. This is confusing as I thought I was in manual ERS mode and when tell the game when I wanted to harvest and that certainly wouldn’t be when 3 wide down imola pit straight. 


c.) Unique to time trial, and one of the reasons I think it’s a game side bug and not something on my side: very similar to Issue a.) however with no ERS to worry about in TT, the car is literally just 25% slower. Delta in the top right makes it pretty easy to tell. Car will max at 280 ish KPH and accelerate like a VW Bug. 

notes to help you help me: I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled (to change gamma settings) I had the thought it could be that my wheel is connected via usb to console while also having a PS5 wireless controller connected under same profile, will test this. Calibrated wheel and pedals in settings in game, dead zones set to 1 on all, wheel is T300 with open wheel and the TLCM pedals Any other help is greatly appreciated as I’ve been grinding since 19’ on PS and the game is literally useless to play if I can’t tell it what to do. 

 

TLDR: ERS deploy bwoken. Make game Bwoken. Stupid. Help please. Sadness.

  • Noted this in time trials too. ERS won't deploy in auto, option to manage modes doesn't even come up if you disable the assist, and overtake button does nothing.

    Having the same issue. I'm using a Nintendo pro controller on Steam to play. I'm going to play around with settings and keybinds and see if there's a temporary solution until they decide to be competent and push a patch.

    Update as of 6/2/25.

    found that a majority of people experiencing this issue online are using thrustmaster tech, and of those, a majority using the TLCM pedals. I would imagine these steps would work for any load cell pedals, not saying I found a fix but that is what’s worked for me (so far).  Carefully completely disassemble the pedal housing to clean with blow duster and alc. update to latest drivers, increase throttle saturation, and throttle deadzone, swapped throttle and clutch spring and MAKE SURE YOUR WHERL BASE IS IN LOAD CELL MODE, and if you’ve ever changed springs you should recalibrate according to thrustmaster manual. Details on thrustmaster website for this. 

    fundamentally my issue was throttle pedal displaying 100% throttle on the HUD telemetry even tho it was only 95% depressed (due to wear and tear on throttle pedal over 4 years) the ERS in game won’t kick in unless you are 100% throttle input. This has worked for me, not sure what fix did it. But I can play again for now, hope it helps the next guy. PM me if questions, devs here are correctly prioritizing day 1 bugs and glitches that benefit the masses but that doesn’t mean we can’t help each other in the mean time! 

     

  • My friend and I play online the 2-player career from our own houses, not on the same network. first time we noticed he had the ERS problem, next race I had the problem. Zero to none deployment even in overtake mode. Qualifying **bleep**ed and race **bleep**ed. We both deleted the game en installed again. Our game evening was over. Next time playing, same issue. It is really annoying we now play against a lower AI cause we are no where on track due the lack of performance. We hope next update the problem is fixed come on EA!!!
