Driving Force GT detected as a Driving Force EX

[Viperion]

Hey folks,

I've recently upgraded my computer and have run into an issue. My old computer (An Intel E-7500, Win 7, Radeon R7 200) worked great with my Logitech Driving Force GT wheel.

My new setup (Intel i5-6600k, Win 10, EVGA GTX1060) detects my wheel as a Driving Force **EX** wheel, even though Windows has correctly identified it as a Driving Force GT. This is causing issues in-game - although I have it working, I can't find a set of steering wheel configs which actually work properly (as opposed to my old system, which was plug-and-play perfect)

Can someone tell me why DiRT is detecting the wheel incorrectly when Windows has it right, and how to fix it?

I have disconnected and reconnected the wheel while the computer is powered off, powered on, in game, and out of game and the result is the same.

I am **not** running the Logitech Profiler, simply because it was not necessary previously. If you **KNOW** installing the profiler will correct the problem I will do so, but I'd prefer not to as it's clearly (from the old computer) not necessary for this wheel to work on this game.

Thanks
Viperion

The same thing happened to me. Windows 10 automatically installs the steering driver. But he does wrong.

Try System Restore to see if windows reinstall the older driver.
And look at this:

Let's see if it works

Wait, I have a better solution I did one week ago, no system restore needed. Let me check 3min.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3jc94o/logitech_driving_force_gt_windows_10/ downloading correct software package made windows 10 recognize it again in Game controllers corretly. And after that in Dirt rally too.

And I'm running win 10 anniversary update version. The wheel works perfectly with Codemasters recommended 540-900 car related turn degrees etc. I can recommend a FF profile if you want.

(At work at the moment, will try that when I get home)

Thanks for the reply - I will definitely try it.

Any idea why I need this piece of software for Win 10 when I didn't need it on Win 7?

Thank you!

Take a look at this thread. It has a couple of ways of how to fix it. Try the fix in the video, it works for most people.

Im using Driving Force GT and windows 10. I have same problem every time i unplug wheel cable from my pc to force pc recenter my wheel, else its getting more crazy every time i reboot my pc. Or its just after some misc updates starting to show up in Dirt Rally as Driving Force EX.

Only one solution that i found is - you need to download driver from logitec page. Unplug your Driving Force GT and uninstall logitec profiler. Then reboot your pc and install earlier downloaded driver. At the end of installation it asks to plug in controller.
And now it works aggain.

I followed this schema already many times.

For me worked simply changing USB port...
