FFB spongy after 1.25 update

The game's force feedback was already poor—very weak and lacking in detail—to begin with. It was also hard to find a good, balanced setup that didn't suffer from excessive clipping.

But since the last patch, it’s been terrible; it feels like driving a road car with power steering—you feel absolutely nothing, and I have no idea what settings to use.

I have the T598 with the SF1000 on PS5.

It's also significantly worse with my Moza R5. It feels completely numb, just like driving a Dacia.

Same problem Here with my r9. I loved the previous FFB and now the game is unplayable. I have no feeling in the car at all. 

Same problem here, with GT DD pro 8nm, if i dont restart my base between every session the fbb is broken, it was pretty poor with the recommended settings, now it turned to absolute disaster...

I’ve encountered the same issue as you, and I also use a Fanatec wheelbase. The steering goes completely limp, as if the damping effect is missing.

I experienced a similar problem with the DualSense Edge four months ago (loss of haptic feedback), and now I’m losing force feedback on the steering wheel.

Also, I think you might be reporting the issue incorrectly: https://forums.ea.com/blog/f1-games-game-info-hub-en/f1%C2%AE-25-2026-season-pack--how-to-report-a-bug/12211551

I’m having the same issue on a Logitech G923. This started immediately after the 1.25 update. The FFB feels lighter, softer and less responsive, especially around the center and in fast chicanes. The left-right load transfer through the wheel is much weaker than before. Please investigate this, as the wheel felt much better on 1.24.
