No FFB after 1.8 update

Lloyd Johnston · Nov 24, 2021

Hi all,

Has anyone else got no FFB after the 1.8 update and if so dose anyone know how to fix it?

I'm using a CSL DD.

Thanks for any help

Same problem here, Thrustmaster T500RS. No solution atm

juandriver · Nov 24, 2021

fixed it! I've reinstalled the game, now the FFB is back again

Lloyd Johnston · Nov 24, 2021

Ok ill just try that then. thanks

...but after changing some settings for FFB it's missing again. reinstall 2nd time today...

Lloyd Johnston · Nov 24, 2021

Reinstall didn't work for me, it still had all my saved settting when I installed it again, so I think I need to go track down where those files are and maybe try deleting them.

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled ACC

Updated the firmware on the CSL DD and the drivers

And deleted this folder
\Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione

So the game would need to make the settings again but I've still got no FFB from the CSL DD.

SC1 device here, no ffb now either

I had the same issue (SC2).
Restarted ACC a few more times but still no FFB.
Fired up AMS2 to check that the wheelbase was working (it was).
Fired up ACC and the FFB was back.

So far so good but it's a strange one for sure

After 2nd reinstalling FFB works again, I only saved my folder for car setups first. Then, after uninstalling the game I deleted all folders from ACC in ...\documents\ACC and also the subfolder from steam ...\steam\steamapps\common\ACC which is the game directory
After reinstalling the game the game needs me to type in my name and so on again. There are for sure no informations left from the old installation.
Now I will try it again and will look if it still works...

for sure there is an issue with the update v1.8 . I never had trouble with the game or my wheel.
there is no support link at kunos webpage to tell them that a few users got FFB problems

I'm coming here for rescue. You guys needs to update your wheel firmware. I have a t300rs and got the same issue. After upgrading the firmware, everything worked like a charm.

Go to windows menu -> find thrustmaster's forlder -> firmware update.

In my case i was in version 29 while version 33 was out for a long time

My CSW V2.5 had no FFB. To fix I started ACC with wheel OFF then once in Controls menu turned it back on and loaded my personal mapping profile again. Started a race and FFB was back.

juandriver · Nov 25, 2021

the problem is still not fixed for me . after closing the game all ffb settings get lost,
next time before playing acc I have to disconnect the wheel before starting acc and connecting while acc is running. Then it works until I close ACC.
Thrustmaster T500RS actual firmware v47

Same problem here with a Simucube 1.
Before 1.8, all was working fine. Since update, no FFB.

Lloyd Johnston · Nov 25, 2021

Ok so like some others online (maybe not the same wheel base), my CSL DD will only have Force Feedback IF i DON'T turn it on until after ACC has been booted up. If I restart the game and the wheel base was left on I will again have no FFB.

It only works for me if the base is always off until after the game has started.

Do any of you suffering FFB loss have vJoy installed?
I uninstalled vJoy (which I use in flight sims and recently used with iRacing) and now my FFB is working!!

juandriver · Nov 25, 2021

I'm wondering about the multiplayer sessions. A lot of people are online. Did they all drive with keyboard or controller ???

Lloyd Johnston · Nov 25, 2021

No I don't have VJoy

I had to reinstall Fanalab, both for 1.8 and 1.8.1 to get FFB back. I use the "keep my settings" option when reinstalling. Others have had success uninstalling and reinstalling the Fanatec 64-bit driver.
