TS-PC and T-LCM still not working both using USB

[cyan5tar]

So same issue like in F1 23 where this combination does not work?
Do i really have to use the RJ12 Cable to play F1 23?

God bless i did not pre ordered that crap.
Every Game and Simulation works but EA just dont give a s**t about it.

yup again its not working as seperate device... same issue here with a T300 base

The only workaround I ever found was endlessly restarting the game until once in a magic moment they DO both work but it's a no-go for us until they bring back those lines of code from '20 and '21 which NEVER had this issue and still work today

Thank you both for confirming the problem's still there.

[cyan5tar]

Yeah i did quite a lot f1 2021 and had no issues at all. it is really not that hard to fix this bug.
really disappointed by ea there. thanks for your answers so i know im not alone.

Mine doesnt even work, cant assign brake and throttle because they are connected directly to pc with USB cable and the game cant recognize the pedals or any input/ouput from them.

My Setup:

Fanatec GT DD PRO + Mclaren GT V2 Wheel
+
Heusinkveld sprint pedals (No Clutch set)

Embarrasing, they still haven't fixed what worked in F1 21 ??? Shameful.

If you have a wheel or pedal that doesn't seem to work; ALT+Enter into windowed mode and try clicking the taskbar, then back to the game a couple times-- I can literally switch between a working wheel or pedals that way, but never both at the same time.

The ONLY way I know both will work guaranteed (which they CAN) is if I either keep restarting the game until a wheel button works to enter the main menu, OR if an intro movie shows up which is also skippable with a wheel button.

Mind you sometimes it takes 3 attempts, sometimes up to 10 attempts for an intro vid to show up or the menu to work, but if you keep trying you will have that one lucky startup with separate pedals and wheel working eventually..

In no way is that an acceptable "workaround" for something that never went wrong in '20 or '21, and was never fixed in '22, it's just something I discovered once after hours of troubleshooting.

[cyan5tar]

Thanks for the hint. I tried that.
The only thing i can achive is that one of the inputs work.
Either the Wheel or the Pedals work. But never both at the same time.
In F1 22 i had it working for 2-3 times but no matter how often i tried now i never made it work.

I have same problem. AGAIN!!!. How? I mean u had 1 year to fix this problem cause already existed in 22. And we paid how much for same bug again?

Exactly and out here you can expect clown awards and rudeness up to namecalling if you dare speak up about it meanwhile the new publisher's clearly not caring since their guaranteed millions of copies will get sold anyway..

For me it helped installing the T150 drivers if I remember correctly. I have an R9 and tlcm pedals.

Installing the "2023_TTRS_3" driver from Thrustmaster (even if it's not for your TM wheel) helps with getting the device to show up in-game if that's the problem, but sadly it won't solve an input thread of the ego-engine (what a name btw) locking up* most of the time resulting in only one device (pedals or wheel) being usable when connected separately.

Restarting many times until magic happens sadly was the only viable workaround here.

* "locking up" since when it happens the game also refuses to exit normally and hangs instead, which doesn't happen when it does work.

Not sure what Thrustmaster wheel add on you guys have, but if it is the Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On the following might help:

"If you are using a Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On simultaneously with a T-LCM Pedals set connected via USB, you must select NORMAL Mode (and not ADVANCED MODE) in the Thrustmaster Control Panel. You can select ADVANCED MODE only if the T-LCM Pedals set is connected directly to the Thrustmaster wheel base with the RJ12 cable."

If found this on the following page: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Thrustmaster-driver-update/td-p/11611937

It also points to the driver Interl@ce mentions.

Mind you, this is old info regarding F1 22, so it might not apply to F1 23. Couldn't hurt to try, though.

Yeah that's one of the first things we came across when trying to fix '22 last year and sadly didn't help with our T3PA-Pro pedals

It still boggles our minds how up to '22 not a single F1 game and beyond (I'm just mentioning '20 and '21 here but you can go back many releases) ever had a problem and we can still jump into them without issue today.

Same goes for rally sims, project cars 1/2/3, asetto corsa etc-- all of 'em work fine.

It's understandable hardware at some point will get unsupported, but this should clearly be fixable and is a new problem specific to '22 and '23, even for some console gamers.

And i even found that % in game and pedals dont match up. here is picture for proof. I fount it after i noticed i usually locked up so...

Maybe im just lucky but my t300 and tlcm have had no issue this game. Both plugged in usb and didnt work at all on 22 but having no issues this game. Sometimes doesnt register the wheel on first launch but restarting the game normally resolves it for me.
