I spent a lot of time searching around and didn’t find anything current so I thought I would post and see if anybody else is having this issue. played horizon 4 about 2 months ago without any problem with my ClubSport V2.5 and a formula V2 wheel. everything worked as the previous time. now when I fire it up the buttons and pedals work fine, the wheel works fine, but I have no force feedback. checked and have current drivers from fanatec. using the wheel property page provided by fanatec everything works including the force feedback test. I’ve tried all kinds of different things. can’t seem to figure out why the force feedback won’t respond. tried doing a new custom wheel setting, you name it, everything seems to fail.
I did find one post back in June where a bunch of people said they hadn’t played in a while and when they came back they had no force feedback using same wheel base. I don’t know if they’ve changed something in the game but the game is basically unplayable with my wheel now.
just tested in Forza Motorsport 7 also on PC and have no force feedback there as well. I wonder what’s going on.
just tested it on grid 2019 on PC also through steam. works perfectly fine. something is going on with Microsoft products. I just played like two weeks ago in Forza Motorsport with a buddy, we had no issues.
just tested horizon 4 on Xbox and everything works totally fine including the force feedback. so this is just a PC issue. they must have changed something. great job Microsoft.
I have the same wheelbase as you and it’s working fine.
Maybe it’s a Windows version issue - have you updated to the 2004 feature update? I’m still on 1909.
Thanks for the reply. I did update to 2004 and I’m wondering if that is the issue. not sure of the timing, if that was in between it working and failing. The driver for the wheelbase hasn’t been updated since March so that can’t be it. It wouldn’t be a big deal to wipe the machine and reload the OS as long as I can find 1909.
what really sucks is that it works on all other PC games: grid 2019, dirt 2, and others, just not the two Microsoft products. It amazes me how often they screw stuff up like this. I’ve owned an IT company for 28 years, so I’m familiar with their mishaps.
There’s a similar post in the FM7 discussion section recently;

The chap seemed to resolve it himself, so don’t know if that will help you?
thanks I appreciate taking the time to point that out. I’ll take a look at it. hopefully I’ll have some luck.
hot biscuits and butter. sorry that’s all I got since we’re not allowed to swear! this totally fixed the problem for me. now I can race. please let me know where to send your 1.7 billion dollars. in fact I’ll just forward you an email I got from someone in the middle East that’s holding that money for me. you can just use that link to collect your money, lmao. thanks so much have a great rest of your life!

well I may have spoke too soon of course. I have force feedback but it has this very odd lag delay of about half a second of what’s going on in the road. so far this is just in horizon 4 tested. I will see how it is in for some Motorsport and see if there’s something else going on.
okay I’ve tinkered with all the settings in horizon 4 and the tuning menu on the wheel itself and there’s just something wrong here. there is basically no center spring force, it’s very loose in the middle and then the force feedback grabs after the wheel is 10° either side of center. there is also a lag or latency issue. additionally under braking sometimes force feedback will randomly go to one side or other and the car will steer off in that direction as if one car wheel had locked. so force feedback is back but it’s totally broken. I will test it on Motorsports 7 and report back.
instead of editing my reply I thought I would reply to myself for various unknown reasons. apparently when I was in and out of the menus 300 times I accidentally inverted the force feedback and that is why it was so dead and then randomly coming on. sorry for all the confusion and hassle. I will go ahead and throw these retard vitamins down the drain so I do not take them again.
