Random FFB loss and sudden force spikes to left and right

any news?

I am also experiencing intermittent issues with my Logitech G920 in F1 25 on PC. The wheel can lose force feedback, stop responding, or turn approximately 90° during a race. Sometimes the wheel continues working after the issue, while other times I have to completely restart F1 25.

The following troubleshooting has already been completed:

• G HUB
  • Confirmed the Logitech G920 is detected and working normally in Logitech G HUB.
  • G HUB is fully updated.
  • G HUB continues to recognise the wheel when the problem occurs.
  • Tested running F1 25 with G HUB completely closed; the issue still occurred.
• Windows / Device Manager
  • Confirmed the G920 appears correctly in Device Manager.
  • Both the standard USB G920 device and HID G920 device are present.
  • Confirmed the correct hardware IDs:
    • USB\VID_046D&PID_C262
    • HID\VID_046D&PID_C262
  • No yellow warning symbols or Device Manager errors occur, including when the problem happens.
• Windows Game Controllers (joy.cpl)
  • With F1 25 closed, the G920 is detected normally.
  • When F1 25 is launched, joy.cpl immediately changes to:
    “Your game controller is not connected properly. Please verify that it is plugged into your computer.”
  • When F1 25 is closed, joy.cpl immediately returns to working normally.
  • This happens when the game is launched, not just when entering a race.
• Registry
  • Checked the G920 registry entry at:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_046D&PID_C262
  • Backed up the registry key before making any changes.
  • Deleted the G920 OEM registry key and restarted the PC.
  • After reconnecting the wheel, joy.cpl initially worked normally.
  • However, launching F1 25 caused the same joy.cpl error again.
  • Closing F1 25 restored joy.cpl immediately.
  • Therefore, deleting/recreating the registry entry did not resolve the issue.
• F1 25 game files
  • Repaired F1 25 through the EA App.
  • The issue persisted after repairing the game.
• USB connection
  • The G920 is connected directly to a rear motherboard USB port.
  • There is no USB hub, USB extension, or other intermediary device.
  • The wheel has been tested using a direct connection.
• Power
  • The G920 power supply is connected directly to a wall outlet.
  • I previously tested this after suspecting a power issue, but the problem eventually returned.
• What happens during the actual failure
  • The G920's power light remains on.
  • There is no Windows USB disconnect/reconnect sound.
  • The wheel does not perform a normal USB reconnection/calibration.
  • Logitech G HUB continues to detect the G920 normally.
  • Device Manager continues to show the G920 normally with no errors.
  • The issue appears to be isolated to F1 25, as the Windows/G HUB detection of the wheel does not indicate a physical disconnection.

Current symptoms

The main issues are:

1. Force feedback randomly disappears during a race, sometimes for several seconds before returning.
2. The wheel can suddenly turn approximately 90°.
3. Wheel/button inputs can stop being recognised by F1 25.
4. In some cases, restarting F1 25 is required before the wheel works again.
5. G HUB and Device Manager continue to recognise the wheel during these failures.
6. joy.cpl works normally with F1 25 closed but reports that the controller is not connected properly as soon as F1 25 is launched.

The issue appears to be specific to F1 25 rather than a complete Windows/USB disconnection of the G920.

deleted the controler files & reinstalled F! 25, went in & setup the G923, went into a race, no steering load, could feel kerbs etc, did a 5 lap race & at the end of the race the steering went nuts left to right by it's self. but the steering had load, started another race, wheel had load until the lights went green, lost the feel / load, I crashed & had steering load, finished the race with good steering. Tried a few more & after the race resumed I would have steering load, or after the crazy steering like when the wheel powers up. Start another race & steering goes away once the lights go green, also lost steering while driving. I have read about guys having these issues but this is the first time I have had it happen.

I have the same problem & only with EA F125, all my other games work fine

BlockBuster2KSVF​ Thanks for trying the steps and providing the feedback. This is really helpful information, and I've passed it on to the team. 

Once I hear back from them and have an update, I will make sure to let you know here on this thread.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried deleting the hardware settings files from the Documents > My Games > F1 25 folder as suggested, but unfortunately, that didn't solve the issue for me.

Updating to the latest G HUB version fixed the steering angle detection, but the Force Feedback itself is still completely erratic and buggy—it's still way too harsh at times and randomly goes crazy during sessions.

It's totally random—sometimes I can play for 20 minutes or do multiple races in a row without any issues, and other times the bug happens every 20 seconds. I have no idea what triggers it, and I've even tried running the game without G HUB open in background, but nothing helps.

Still hoping for a permanent fix, as the wheel is currently really frustrating to use.

Also, for those using a Logitech G920 or G29, there’s a new G HUB update available. The release notes mention changes related to wheel connectivity.

Could you please update G HUB and let us know whether the new version improves or changes the behaviour in any way? We’re trying to better understand the experiences across different setups.

Thanks again for helping us investigate this.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the additional reports.

For those who have tried deleting the hardware settings files as mentioned earlier, could you please let me know whether that made any difference at all? Even if the issue remained the same, that information will help us narrow things down.

100% only the steering load is the issue & same as in that my wheel works in every other game including EA WRC Rally.

EA F125 seem to have no interest in correcting the issue, I won't download the 26DLC as I won't play F125 & have uninstalled the game.

Same wheel, same issue (G923 for PlayStation, PC mode, Steam). For me it's specifically the core cornering/spring FFB that's dead - kerb, grass, and off-track rumble effects still come through fine, motors are audibly active but produce no real torque during normal driving. Only happens in F1 25, works fine in every other racing title.
