It happened after the latest Steam update. Yes, I do change the controls, and it works fine when driving, but as soon as I even pause it, I have to get up and use the keyboard.Are you for sure the buttons are working on the wheel? If so, maybe try re-mapping them within the game. Did you install any new drivers?
I used to be able to use my Logitech G25 to move around the menus, but for some reason, I'm stuck having to use the keyboard. This is a problem with my setup as I have to get up every time a menu opens. Does anyone know how to sort it out?
