PS5 Force Feedback Dropouts (controller & wheel)

Hi, I’m getting in touch to report a huge issue with force feedback switching off during races that only seems to affect PS5 users. 

This issue is only occurs in multiplayer races and on any tracks, and appears to happen at random. On some occasions force feedback and vibration becomes much weaker than the setting selected, making driving feel very numb and extremely difficult, and on other occasions all force feedback disappears completely when cornering/braking/accelerating and only the kerb vibration remains - meaning you have no feedback on wheelspin, grip or locking your tires. 

This can sometimes occur after an event like a safety car coming out, or a collision between other players and on other occasions it can occur at random (even mid corner causing complete loss of control). When you try to fix the issue by going into the menu to switch force feedback off and then on again, feedback returns for a lap at most and then disappears again. This issue occurs in around 1 in every 3 multiplayer races that I do. Very frustrating, especially as in speaking to other players it does not affect PC or Xbox users - only PS5 users across both controller and wheel. 

Can this please be fixed as it’s killing the game for so many users.

  • Another one from me. Lap 19 in the race it happened. For 4 laps it was in and out, some corners I had all FFB, others it dropped by half, some I had kerb and braking and then lap 24 onwards I had no FFB at all. Report code HXKB-SPXP-KJHV-CBTD

  • HiEA_cuervo​ one from me is MMPK-TTKJ-DHHV-CBTD. Will post more when I come across them. For this one kerb vibration remained but all cornering FFB disappeared and braking FFB was probably half the usual strength. Switching FFB off and back on again works for about 20 seconds and the disappears again. Im on PS5 controller for reference

    HiEA_cuervo​ dont have report codes at the moment but have shared this thread out to gather some and will post codes when I encounter the issues again. 

    I use dualsense edge controller, but know other people who have had the same issue with standard dualsense controller, Logitech G923 wheel and some guys who use fanatec wheels but unsure of models.

    Hi Pounder_Ranger96​, thanks for letting us know. Do you have a report code for one of the races where it happened? Also, if you're using a wheel, please let us know the make/model of the wheel.
