loosing force feedback/ turn resistance

[Spork]

have a t150 and have been playing with it for a few months, now i am having loss of forcefeedback 3+ turns into a race. I have tried unplugging/replugging in controller, i have tried different usb plugs, i have tried restarting game and unplug/replug. i have tried restarting cpu..

i have turning resistance before the game opens, then as its opening no resistance. then start of a race i have it again, and sometime between 10 sec in - 3 turns its gone...

Try making sure your T150 drivers are up to date. Also, whenever this happens, lookup "Set up USB game controllers" in the windows Start menu, and look at the properties of your T150 wheel to see if anything looks off. To know if something looks off you can probably find screenshots of what the settings are supposed to look like, or you can do a comparison of what they look like when the wheel works.

Edit: Also make sure the wheel is set to PS3 mode (it's on the right side of the wheel, you just have to make sure the switch is on the PS3 mode, as the mode button itself is for something different)

I have the same problem but unlike you, the FFB changes during the race and goes from 60% to 100%. Impossible to change the FFB in the menus, even at 0% the steering wheel is still hard. (translated by Google Translate)

Mmh, i have T150 and i noticed too that right on the start of the session i have a better feeling and forces in the first turns.. very strange, it would be better having that feeling on all the session. Did you tried to ask on ACC official forum? Maybe it can be something correlated to the fresh tires.

It sounds as though the wheel is overheating. I have a T300 and the FFB reduces when the wheel gets too hot to protect the motor. Fortunately, a recent firmware update allows you to keep the fan running continuously to prevent this. With the T150, I think your only option is too turn the FFB down.

im not sure about that, it was plugged in less than 3 minutes before use. if its overheating that fast, then theres some other issue at play.
i put my hand over the back and it doesnt feel warm

Have you tried turning down the FFB to see if that fixes the problem?

[Pixie]

have you tried updating the T150 firmware ?

Sounds like your T150 is overheating. All TM wheels turn down the FFB if the temperature gets too hot.

Losing FFB is normally a wheel that is getting hot and cutting the FFB to protect the wheel. I used to have a fan blowing on my wheel with my old Fanatec GT2 base otherwise after about 45 mins is would get to hot and often shut down.

Try turning the FFB down and seeing if it makes a difference.

I have a T300 and have experienced the same problems as the OP. I lose FFB minutes into a session for no reason. I don't have any issues with my wheel in other sims. This doesn't happened consistently in ACC but often enough that it keeps me from playing often.

Have you turned on forced cooling in the wheel driver?
