Wheel freezing during race or time trial (update)

https://forums.ea.com/idea/f1-25-bug-reports-en/wheel-freezing-during-race-or-time-trial-fanatec-dd-ps5/13253380

The problem persists. Also, when I first start the game, I feel the steering wheel is turning much heavier than my personal FFB settings allow, both in the main menu and the garage section of the time trial. When I start a lap in time trial, FFB strength returns to normal, but then I experience wheel freezing. If I return to the main menu before the wheel freezing issue occurs, the steering becomes much lighter in both the main menu and the garage section of time trial. In conclusion, the wheel freezing issue may be due to a software problem related to when and how FFB is activated. If anyone has had a similar experience, I would appreciate it if they shared their thoughts.

Lastly, I'm sharing the new report codes I've seen regarding the wheel freezing issue:
GRLT-PBSV-ZRTM-BSMT
LDHK-HKVZ-ZRTM-BSMT

If you are using a Fanatec wheel w the ITM feature, either the Extreme, or the GT3 w Podium Button Module Endurance then this will happen - after 5-10 mins FFB, butons and pedals are lost, and only steering may work.
Non ITM wheel like the Formula no problem
BTW the heavy feel at startup is normal and goes away once racing

I have same kinda issues. When playing league racing my wheel just freezes for like 1 second mid corner and at the same time also the gas pedal or brake depending on which one i was pressing at the time. Everything works just fine in career mode and single player. Also i use cable so i have stable internet connection. Here is also a clip about one case where this happened. https://medal.tv/games/f1-25/clips/mmDFDF6cE6yPzzO2a?invite=cr-MSxKVGksMjY3MjkyNjQ1&v=14
