G920 steering wheel help (snapping to full lock) (FIXED)

[Jawwwshh]

Hey guys,
Got a new steering wheel a couple of days ago now and its been working perfectly fine with all my other games. went to try it out on ATS, configured it all the best i could and i went to drive off but every time i turn the steering wheel more than 200 degrees in either direction it snapps to full lock (around another 250 degrees of steering angle).
please note that it is only the in game steering wheel that snaps in that direction, the wheel in my hands stays still but i dont understnd how a few milimetres of steering angle applied in real life is suddenly snapping my in game wheel 250 degrees?
when i go into the settings and watch the yellow bar as i turn the wheel it seems perfectly fine (it doesnt touch the side until i am completely full lock) but this doesnt seem to be applied while in the game?

i have no mods, base game and all drivers are updated.
hoping someone on here can possibly help.

cheers

UPDATE - Just to let everyone know the problem has been sorted. had to make sure all the keyboard controls that had been assigned to steering had been unassigned so that steering input came solely from the wheel. Hope this helps others who may end up in the same position.

sorry for the late reply, just tried this and it doesnt seem to have solved the problem at all :/

Any chance you could post screenshots of your wheel-related settings? Both Profiler and ingame?

(also, there has been a lot of posts about this issue in the past, but i can't remember if or how they solved it. could try looking for those as well)

okay ive fixed it! done a bit of research and i had to unassign all of the keyboard buttons that affected steering so that the only way to control the wheel was by using the wheel.
thanks for trying to help anyway guys!

Does your truck need repairs? I've been using a G29 for a while now, but just the other day, I suddenly had a really hard time steering. The smallest movement of the wheel would cause the truck to swerve. It was practically undriveable. After I took the truck for service it was back to normal.

I have a G29 (in Linux) and force feedback does not seem to work in the Linux version of this game (works in other games). Default game settings with some sensitivity and 0 non-linearity it seemed like I was constantly sawing the wheel back and forth in small increments. So I tried reducing sensitivity to 0 and that made the steering lag so much it was uncontrollable. Fortunately I was just bobtailing at the time between jobs. I increased sensitivity to the max and that works much better (non-linearity is still 0). Increasing non-linearity should make it less sensitive on center and move more the more you move the wheel, but I have not played with that yet.

So apparently low sensitivity does not mean that the wheel moves more gradually, it means that it has to move farther before it notices a change and lags your movements, which if you go lock to lock lags so much it is often in the opposite direction than you are trying to move it now. Higher sensitivity means that it notices as soon as you start to move it, which for me is more stable.

I did unassign keyboard steering keys per this post, just in case that had any influence.

The sensitivity setting is NOT intended for wheels. Leave sensitivity at maximum (or close to) and use the non-linearity slider. Personally I do use a little sensitivity reduction as it 'feels' a little better that way, IMHO.

my force feedback wasnt working at the start either which was strange. when everything was supposed to work FFB wise nothing did but when i ticked a few of the boxes to say what i would like to feel through the wheel and then unchecked the main force feedback box it works fine just as if it was turned on...
