Logitech g920 shifter not working

[bladedpaladin16]

I logged on to play today and when i tried to shift into gear i noticed i wouldn't shift although it does steer and pedals do respond. I looked into the problem and I found out that steam is not detecting my g920 wheel. The Logitech app detects the wheel shifter and pedal and ive also tried re calibrating and nothing works. I am also having this problem while playing My Summer Car. Any Suggestions on how to fix?

Disconnect usb from PC. Unplug and replug the shifter into the port on the bottom of the wheel. Shut down your PC. Plug the wheel usb into your PC. Start PC.

Should be fully recognised. My G29 will occasionally, but rarely, just stop appearing in LGS.

The correct order of operations, from Logitech's own web site:
With Computer already ON, but Logitech Gaming Software NOT running,
1. Connect all wheel/pedal/shifter components to each other.
2. Plug power for wheel/pedals/shifter in to wall outlet or power strip.
3. Start the Logitech Gaming Software, and give a second for it to fully load.
4. plug-in wheel's USB cord to Computer, and let LGS recognize the wheel/pedals/shifter.
...LGS will calibrate the wheel's left and right turn, and put wheel at center position.
5. set LGS settings to "Default" settings. (first time setup only, after first setup, you can ignore this.)

..Now that the Computer and LGS recognize the wheel/pedals/shifter, you can log in to Steam and start the ATS/ETS2 game, and set your preferences in-game settings menu.

Plugging the wheel into the computer BEFORE starting LGS can cause issues.

You may want to double check that your Steam "default" settings, under Steam>Controllers did not get reset with the recent Steam update .. yesterday, I think.

Logitech wheels are notoriously bad for usb connections. I tried replacing my G27 with a G29 at one point and I ended up returning the G29. Even my G27 can get finicky if I decide to use a usb hub, and or extension cable.

I suspect I will replace my G27 wheel with the new HORI truck control system next year -- if the HORI wheel gets decent reviews.

I'm having a similar issue but it's working on anything but ATS and ETS2. For some reason those 2 aren't working. I have tried everything above and on every other site I can find with no luck!! If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd happily try them.....

I was having the same issue and just fixed it. I uninstalled ghub and reinstalled and for right now my shifter is working.

Tank you so much, how the ♥♥♥♥ is that possible

Peripherals are a complete mess on Windows because they're either Xinput, which means they have to essentially fake being an Xbox controller, or DirectInput which is officially deprecated. Microsoft keeps changing the APIs developers are supposed to use, they're on GameInput now. I imagine they'll come up with a new one again when the NextBox comes out.
Ironically Linux often handles non-gamepad device support better, the issue there is customization since you need 3rd party control panels.
