Thrustmaster t300rs detected like a gamepad

[Haippi]

Hi,
I've been googling around quite alot but not found a solution. I think my wheel is detected as gamepad rather that a wheel. I don't have the soft lock option in settings. I believe that is for automatically setting the maximum turns on the wheel like in any decent racing sim. Running latest frimware. 29.0 Driver 2.10.9.0. I've been changing usb2/3 ports. disabling controller on steam games settings. attached ditached t500 pedals and th8a shifter... Switch is in PS3 position... I've also tried to delete the games folder in my home dir. What might help?

EDIT: Here are the screenshots to clarify this problem. The wheel does work but not e.g. the soft lock. Also works fine on other sims like rfactor2, race07, assetto corsa...

At last i found the origin of the problem, but not any solution unfortunately.
In my case, the problem is that the device isn´t correctly migrated after TM drivers are installed.
You can check it going to manager devices, double click on T300RS located in HID devices, and then, "Events" tab.
There will appear the instance "Device could not be migrated".
I don´t know if this problems comes from USB drivers or from TM drivers, but for me, the wheel is the only device that presents this issue.
How the device isn´t correctly migrated, Windows use his own drivers.

The last vid did seem to work ok as far as I can tell... The donust not sure how the GAME works there... You should just see if the steering works in grip condition? I can also see that the AC register your wheel movement on screen when you turn the wheel...

@Haippi
Steam -options -controller settings is intended for game pads and using them in big picture mode. Any settings saved in that menu can cause problems in racing titles for both pads and wheels. Delete all mapping saves in that option menu.

Another thing that has confused a few players.
For cockpit view the in-game wheel with hands has a 180* rotation limit, it does not move on a 1:1 ratio in regards to your wheel. The hands are fixed around the 4 & 8 o’clock positions, they do not move. If the visual turned any more they would be upside down, as hand over hand movement was not modeled into this game. It will not effect your actual wheel input, but can be deceiving.

The visual wheel with hands was a feature made for pad & KB users. Go into options and turn hands off, or better yet remove the wheel completely.

Nah, it doesn´t work. Seems that but not. Only begins to respond when you see the car begins to spin slower, but before that, there isn´t any type of response from the wheel.

For me, the only possible solution is make a Windows clean install. Not know another possible way to fix this problem.
Why was broken? No idea, but this is the second time that happens me. The first was a year ago (+/-) with Intel and the second, three weeks ago with AMD.

sry to revive such an old thread , but i ran into same troubles as everybody here with my T300 RS /. Seems the issue was that i plugged it in a USB 3 , after i switched it to a USB 2 it works as designed even the control panel looks like a wheel

Oh thanks for the reply. I'll consider this if I still get excited enough about motorsports without the smell of gasoline and burning rubber and G-forces. :D
