Thrustmaster TS-XW problems

[Johnsmith1234588]

Hi,

Bought a Thrustmaster TS-XW Racer Sparco a few months ago. Never had issues playing AMS.
But now in both AMS and Assetto Corsa, when I turn quickly and hard, I lost all of my force feedback.
Reconnecting the wheel or even closing the client doesn't work. Only a full PC reboot works.

I assume it cannot handle the forces? Using standard 75% gain setting in AMS 2.
How can I fix this issue? Change gain, other settings in the client or elsewhere? I honestly have no clue where to start.
The strange thing is that I had similar settings before but never once had that issue.

Thanks for the help!

I thinki I've read about this and I recall it's a power issue. Maybe a static electricity related thing. What kind of rig do you use?

AccuForce users report similar hangs.
If your PC has an Nvidia GPU, my guess is driver issues.

When I was in Europe, I never had this issue. But in America, it has happened often. Not sure if it's a coincidence.

I got a new Geforce GTX 1660 Ti recently.

The issue seems to be with my Thrustmaster wheel.
