Force Feedback Stops Working

Force Feedback randomly stops working. It is typically fixable by pausing or turning it off and on. This occurs in various game modes; I have experienced it in:

  1. Career Mode
  2. F1 World Grand Prix
  3. F1 World Ranked 
  4. F1 World Multiplayer Grand Prix

I have been experiencing this issue for at least five months, and it makes the game completely unplayable. It seems to be more common on certain tracks, mainly Baku, in my experience. At best this bug forces you to pause and un-pause your game every couple laps but I have just reached a point where It is impossible to fix it. I am in a career mode 50% grand prix at Baku and have been pausing almost every lap but on lap 22/26 I have reached a stage where it is impossible to resolve. It has progressively become worse and worse over the race and I have just spent ten minutes pausing, turning force feedback off and on and flashbacking and It will not fix. I play on a PS5 with a controller, but have seen members of the community on other devices and on steering wheels experience the same issue. This needs to be fixed. For a game that costs as much as it does, and is constantly updated, it should not have game-breaking bugs exist for months.

    This can be replicated if using a controller that is plugged in using a charger and your controller settings is using the USB as the main source in a multiplayer lobby pull it out game goes into Ai mode and pause menu turn controller back on you won't have FFB until you turn the controller back off and on again.

    Also can be replicated if using a wheel with controller on and you press the left stick on your controller left it turns off FFB until you restart the wheel.

    To avoid in the mean time I would suggest making sure your controller is switched off if using a wheel.

    Hope this helps and goes towards helping getting rid of this horrible bug 🐛 CM_TGK​
