Fanatec Shift Some Gears Not Working

[rubbertoe]

I hate this game already. Performance is so bad, driver view is still super limited.
My Fanatec H-pattern shifter 2nd gear is completely unnoticed, and 1st gear is detected as reverse. All other gears work

Anyone else have this issue?

Your issue is quite normal fanatec shifter issue, wrong gear detection maybe bacause of static electricity build-up inside messing up function of hall-effect sensor which uses magnetic field to detect right gear.

Remove lid of the shifter, disconnect cable and then just put it back together., this can clear static electricity build-up.
Maybe re-calibrate shifter in fanatec software and it can work a while without any issues.
If u have this happening all the time and even no gear found then something more broken maybe in shifter. If having warranty left send it for repairs.

I have had similar issues, they are very random, shifter can be fine for 500-1000 shifts and then wrong gear detected out of nowhere. Absolute worst moment was like 5 wrong gear detection within 100 shifts or so but that was 2.5years ago and nothing like that recently.

Same here.
I tried recalibration with Fanatec drivers,but as soon as I start WRC,it wreck every calibration done.

Same. It works fine until WRC loads. Then the fanatec software shows reverse in place of 1st. I can re-calibrate, use it in iRacing just fine, open WRC, and it's broken again.

in DR2 it works with no problems.

That's a really strange behavior...

I don't think it's a hardware device issue. It's relatively new and works in every other game

same happend to me last night. !st gear is recognized as Reverse and 2nd gear doesnt work at all.

[Josephus]

Wow nope. CSL DD, Shifter, Handbrake. After calibration in the game and changing a few button bindings works GREAT.

[Willow the Witch]

I found the way to fix this is to calibrate the shifter in the Fanatec software while WRC is running, that worked for me

[Andrew_WOT1]

Thought my shifter broke, recalibrated, everything fine. Played few other racing games with H-Shifter, everything works normal, going into WRC reverse and 1st gear both maps as reverse and after exiting game, the gears are messed up in Fanatec Control panel, recalibration or restart fix it though.
What the hell this game is doing with the controller?

Yes, I did the same yesterday and it works.

[Michele "quel mΟna"]

I made some calibration tests, but as soon as I start WRC the game messes up the shifter firmware making it completely wrong.
If I calibrate my shifter on Fanatec Control panel,I can use it with every game I own,it'll work perfectly.

This is true but shouldn't be necessary,

But the fun part is...if I calibrate it while Wrc is running...will it be calibrated on the other games?

Yeah seems to a game issue. Today will be trying it out myself in this game.
