Fanatec CSW 2.5 not working in sims (But works fine in Windows controller/wheel page)

TedBrosby- · Jun 26, 2020

So last night I played PC2, had no issues, drove for an hour, exited, shut off wheel base and then shut down my PC.
Today I tried to drive and my FFB/wheel is dead in PC2. I thought it was a PC2 issue, but when I tried iRacing, ACC and even Dirt 2.0, nothing. Buttons, pedals, rotation, nothing is detected in game.
I checked Steam controller settings and everything is disabled.
And I'm not in Xbox mode because I'm using a Formula Esports which only works on PC and PS2.
Also the wheel works fine in Windows Fanatec Wheel page.
All the buttons, rotation, pedals, FFB (what a scary ass 'test' that is) and rumble all work fine in the Fanatec wheel property page.
But in game? Nothing, wheel is completely dead in game.
Any ideas?

Try uninstalling the fanatec software and install it again some people having issues recently with W10 updates I believe it may coincided with your issues,

take off the cables and place them back again + try a different USB socket also.

LOL, so about 9.5 years ago I built a Window 7 tower that has been incrementally upgraded over the years with everything replaced at least once. I've run my business from this computer for almost a decade. There are Visual Studio versions on it all the way back to VS 2008. Today I cloned the...
