"simulation" steering assisting and badly at that

so, seems like now at the slightest hint of understeer the assistant takes control and just straighten the steering wheel, instead of letting players control it in other ways like partially lifting off. this is quite annoying especially when it happens with the ‘simulation’ and all other assists off, especially because drives your car on the gravel even in situation where it was perfectly recoverable.

I’ve recorded me causing progressively more sever understeer with all settings off to show the behavior. controller input visible right beside the steering wheel: https://streamable.com/5razl - a car that was perfectly controllable and forgiving before is now extremely annoying and frustrating to drive

what gives? anyone else noticed this?

here the new twitching is super noticeable: https://streamable.com/3le19

Sounds like you the settings set to super easy steering not simulation

no it’s definitely the game that’s broken here you can see the behavior and the settings https://streamable.com/mcu2l

Like i said it looks like you have assisted steering on
Simulation steering doesnt assist you

edit:
sorry didn’t watch until the end, just watched the behaviour of the car
but as below most likely having “friction assist” on will cause issues
why would you have that on, that’s for the cheating rammers in multiplayer, and also will “dirty” every lap automatically

It does indeed show you having it set to sim steering so I’m going to say it’s something to do with you having friction assist on. Not really sure as I’ve never used friction assist but try it without it and see if it’s the same result
