Since the 1.13 Update the FFB on my wheel has gone back to how it felt in the beta, choppy and unpredictable, especially in the first 10 degress of rotation. This was fine on a race prePatch and is now horrendous.

Fix it or give our money back
There will be no rolleback or a stand alone fix because it's an admission of failure as Aylow1711 mention below and EA doesn't want to acknowledge that, it makes them look bad, they don't care if you and i can't play the game because we are not anymore cash cows to be milked, a fix will be released with the next regular patch in november, where the fix will be stated among other small fixes as...fixed a problem where the ffb doesn't work properly for SOME Logitech wheels...(while all of them are affected including thrustmaster) They will try to minimise the problem as much as they can...for them Jennie is still in the bottle.. meaning that the discussion about the problem is only on their forum and on Reedit, if Jennie will be out of the bottle then you'll see how quick they will release an hotfix...for now all they want from you is to stop moaning about and start saving money to buy their next crap F1 26...
As far I'm concerned I'm done with them for life...for me this is not acceptable!
Things can happen? Sorry but I'm not swallowing that...end of the world can happen tomorrow...but it won't.
The issue is that while it is possible to rollback an update on steam, consoles isn’t as easy and could result in save data being lost if not backed up or compatibility issues with the servers.
This isn’t me defending EA but the issue is wider than logitech wheels so a solution has to potentially be found for each brand which could explain the delay.

That's even worse. You tested (how) a patch that doesn't work and released it breaking the game experience of everyone on Logitech and Thurstmaster. Now, what is the difficilty of releasing an hotfix reverting the support to 1.12 version and then release the corrected 1.13? 14 days without the possibility to play a game that I've paid 85 f*****g euros, for what? A f*****g s**t tested patch.
Cpayne32 I’m sure there are well established processes in place for testing prior to release. But we are not talking about some crazy edge case or a random device that was unexpectedly effected. The peripherals that the patch broke are precisely the devices it was intended to support on the most widely used platform. The issue also requires no effort to replicate as it affects every race as soon as the game starts. This should have been caught immediately if they did any sort of proper testing, so forgive me if I lost faith in the process.
In any normal situation, if one of the primary reasons for the patch was not only not fixed, but also made the intended devices unusable, it should have been rolled back immediately, as that indicated a fundamental failure. The complete lack of urgency and transparency just means EA can’t be bothered to accept their mistake and take the necessary actions.
I was willing to be understanding a week ago but this has gone on way too long. There’s simply no reason for something that users were able to diagnose in 5 minutes to take this long to fix.
EA_cuervo Guys! Why not go back to the previous version? I was reading the notes from the 1.13 update and the changes are minimal. I saw that the problem isn’t just with Logitech, but also with Thrustmaster. The game is expensive, and the steering wheel to play it is even more expensive. Fifteen days to get a solution, my God!
Still ongoing 11 days later. I was wondering what was wrong with my wheel and now realise it’s an update bug. Is there a planned fix as F1 25 is basically unplayable until it’s fixed. Even found my login to sign in and comment this, hope it’s fixed soon and it’s a bit ridiculous to lose all core feature of such a premium wheel. I can’t remember any games that this has happened to and hope it doesn’t become a precedent.
Cpayne32 You're right - these things do happen and that's fair enough, but we're now nearly 2 weeks into this patch being released with no idea where the investigation is at within the QA team.. As much as the bug itself its annoying as a collective it's the lack of fix/workaround that's more annoying.
I understand where you're coming from but you have to understand that they should have rollback procedures inplace for what are essentially 'gamebreaking' bugs like this. Its not like its something that be workedaround within the game (ie the track limit pens thing they fixed in 1.13) but you'd have also thought that they'd have these peripherals available to be tested against.
I play this game most days, and 99% of that is online League Racing, which i currently cannot do as my wheel isn't functioning correctly...
The patch can’t have been untested. If it wasn’t tested, it wouldn’t have been approved through QA and therefore not released.
They have acknowledged the issue and are working on a solution but these things can take time.
Again that is frustrating and yes the impact to players is major (I have also been impacted by the latest patch) but things things can happen.
