Any leads on what might cause the Formula V2 wheel freezes yet ?
I had another freeze during an ACC league race last night: shifting and LED gone after about one hour of use, I had to retire.
Interesting to note that the issue always happens after prolonged use. If I jump in a quick 30 mn race against the AI, I can usually get away with it, but in longer events with practice and quali I can never finish the race.
I'm looking for same info about the wheel freezes on DD2 with the Porsche Podium wheel. In my case, it's not just shifting, but the wheel won't turn at all (nothing works until I remove DD2 power cord. Also discussed in this thread -> (https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/1893/wheel-goes-dead-mid-race-dd1-podium-gt3-wheel-driver-353#latest) Il've loaded steering wheel firmware 12 test version, but it takes a very long time (often weeks) before it fails, so it's impossible to know if it's fixed. Also, somebody in that other thread is having the same issue with a brand new DD1 on 365 and a BMW wheel that apparently doesn't use the steering wheel firmware at all, so it seems like the problem must be elsewhere.
Any news about an update or release date for the public version. Would like to use my universal hub again but won't miss the new ffb features ;) Thanks

Unlikely. Drivers seem to be getting worse and more infrequent. I can't imagine there will be a stable fully functional driver this year. The official driver sub-forum was created over a year ago and is still empty. Very poor.
Weird issue... my wife was claiming that she heard a lot of BEEPING coming from my rig while I was playing the other night. I did not hear anything because of my headset, but I'm starting to worry that the DD1 or the P-supply was too hot and letting me know? Do these things beep for any reason? Thanks you.
any chance your rig is plugged into a UPS? I was getting beeping from my UPS when the FFB was high - the increased load was triggering a warning that I was drawing too much current from the UPS. I fixed by putting the rig and PC on separate UPSes.
Hey guysc, im still experiencing issues with my csl elite for ps4. I have the beta drivers installed and i habe way too weak ffb even if i put it on max. Playing f1 and i tried different drivers but didnt help
I'm a new owner of a CSL V2.5 and GT2 wheel since last week.
I started out using the drivers on the main product download page, but wanted to use Fanalabs so updated to beta drivers. Recently noticed that my FEI settings always reset to 0 and after searching realised that was a known bug.
So last night I tried to update to 365 and while that seemed to work, I get a popup that there's a firmware update available. However that firmware update fails with the notification "Default Hex file loading failed"
I've checked the logs at C:\Users\.. but there's no noticable errors. (I did clear those files to repeat the update process to get a better look and might have deleted the initial error that way....)
I have an issue with my DD1 podium bundle with driver 365. Three issues all relating the the paddle module. Sometimes the clutch fully engages all by itself, if I pull the clutch paddle and let go it will go to partially engaged but not fully disengaged like it should be. Sometimes the clutch is partially engaged for no reason whatsoever and finally, the paddles refuse to shift up or down gears after a random amount of time. Only starts working again after I switch the base on and back off again. How can I fix this? Really frustrating and ruining my races, I have the Spa 24 hour this weekend but I don’t trust the wheel?
doesnt mean anything you just need to remove the steering wheel to calibrate the motor of your dd1, once calibration is done you can put back your bmw steering wheel and calibrate it. go to settings i guess and it shows calibrate wheel and motor.
Did as you said, nothing has changed. When updating the motor, the flash firmware button is not active, and the default Hex file loading failed message also appears. In the database, the fan switches from silent to silent mode and the base on / off button flashes:
The computer does not see her
The screen at the base is not active. You can exit this mode by turning off the base power. Rebooting the computer does not help!

Just go back to driver 356 which also has the new FFB features and a working UHX... ^^
Really? Okay thanks Maurice
Ah damned... its for podium bases only? Need it for my v2
Then use driver 347, FFB is the same as new ffb features were only for DD anyway and not for anything else...
thanks

?
I try and update and the Fanatec driver properties window closes and just get a flashing power button on my emergency stop.
DD2
any danger of getting a good driver within 5 years?

Found my issue... don't do driver updates via RDP... do them physically sitting on rig! 😅
Hi Maurice!!

I tried the 669 and 672 with motor firmware 22 and with both i had weak ffb. What else can i try?
So here is a little comparison from my perspective and how it should be

Good afternoon
. I just can not make friends and run dd1 and BMW steering wheel. I will attach photos and videos, I really count on your help. thanks

Liam,
I have the same setup, for a week.
Not used the clutch on the paddle module, but shifters and the top two paddles, no issues.
What i have done is run an earth cable from my rig to my computer to ensure there are no spikes.
Ensure the DD1 is bonded to your rig of course.
Regards
I don’t use the paddles either which is why I don’t understand why they’re doing what they’re doing :/
I have the DD1 bolted to my rig, where on your computer do you run the earth cable to? I’ll give that a try
i picked one of the screws mounting the power supply, but anywhere on the chassis will suffice.
Hello, please help in this situation. What does it mean and how to fix it. Base dd1 steering wheel bmw.
doesnt mean anything you just need to remove the steering wheel to calibrate the motor of your dd1, once calibration is done you can put back your bmw steering wheel and calibrate it. go to settings i guess and it shows calibrate wheel and motor.
