Did you try backing up and deleting all files in root Player folder ( leave Settings)
Start rFactor2 check control
Setup controller/s and save profile
Not tried this yet, will do next time I find some time and nerve to trouble shoot rF2.
I had something similar when I reinstall rf2, I loaded a track and restarted game, worked for me.
Nothing like this worked unfortunately.
I tried all available different controller profiles including the one I saved when the Endurance pack was released.
I restarted rF2, tried to let rF2 detect controllers ("No controllers found"), checked that my controllers are normally registered in Windows (why should they not - they are perfectly working with all other racing sims I use after all and have been working with rF2 as well before without any changes made).
Do you have any accessories like shifters or pedals or even gamepads? Verify in windows that the wheel is the first item listed. Several companies, like Thrustmaster, only seem to work in rF2 if they are the first controller listed in windows. Then in rF2, don't forget to have the sim look for your wheel. If not found, try scrolling through the list of available profiles.
Yes, I use CSWv2, CSPv3 and CSS, all separately attached directly to the computer - all are listed properly as devices, all are working normally both in the Fanatec driver UI and in all other racing sims - just rF2 decided to ignore them since the last time I used rF2 :-(
Apparently the internet is littered with this exact problem with rF2 on the developers forum, Steam forum and several sim racing forums - there is no definitive cause of the issue known. Trouble shooting apparently ranges from manually registering controllers from device manager to a manually edited controller json file through rolling back the Steam software with custom hacked dll files through rolling back Windows updates through connecting controllers exclusively through USB 2 ports (which new computer these days even has still USB 2 ports - mine doesn't :-( )through, …
This is just way, way above what I am willing to go through just to do a few hot laps in rF2.
This could be such an amazing racing sim if not for the constant half finished science project experienced :-( It is not even that I am using some exotic gear - it's all middle of the road off the shelf standard Fanatec hardware - nothing out of the ordinary.
It's a real shame - I just wanted to try out Sebring - I feel a bit like having bought two large coffees at the local favorite coffee shop, having left the shop and stumbled onto the sidewalk, spilling all the coffee.
Should I go back in and get a new coffee or should I just say … ?
