Logitech gaming software not detecting my G29

[Trucker64]

Has anyone else had this problem and founf a fix? Been to Logitech support and that was a waste of time. There are several others on there with the same problem and nobody is getting any help with it. It detects my gaming mouse and keyboard but won't detect my wheel.

Nope no issues with my G920 (which its the same as as G29).

Is Windows detecting it when you plug in the usb cable? It should show up in device manager under Human Interface Devices.

I don't know if this will solve anything for you - IF it does not - then try something else as,
1) I found this on the web'
2) It is about thier mouses's and not wheels'
3) all I could find. So far - that applied - even a little.

How do I connect my Logitech mouse?
Pair with another Unifying receiver
Download and install Logitech Unifying software.
Press the Easy-Switch button to select a channel.
Press the Connect button. ...
On the computer, plug the Unifying receiver into a USB port and follow the onscreen instructions for completing the pairing.

$) Come back and tell us the results. I do a little more poking around.

i have a logi gt wheel, very old ver for the ps2
works great on pc, i do not use the logi gaming software for it, just the standalone driver

does it show up in joy.cpl or windows devices?

@Kool Kevin, the wheel is usb not wireless with unifying receiver

[Kool Kevin]

Are you using Windows or some other system?

[Trucker64]

It shows up in Device manager and in devices as the G29.

When connecting a G29 racing wheel to your computer, make sure that the Platform Mode switch is set to PS4. > https://support.logitech.com/en_us/article/Set-the-G29-racing-wheel-for-Playstation-4-Playstation-3-or-PC-platforms

*NOTE* Many things regarding both G920/G29 will ALL be under the same sections for support, downloads, faq sections, etc. PLEASE DO NOT follow steps strictly meant for the G920, such as the available Firmware Update which is meant only to address issues for G920 with regards to things such as the Windows 10 Xbox Gaming Client/App; which pertains to issues the G920 solely has regarding that client app and thus those Win10 Store Games, such as Forza for example.

*Before you plug in your Gaming Wheel setup, ensure to first disconnect any other Game Controllers to help avoid further issues along the way of using said device.

*Regardless of 3rd party software, remember you should always be able to check that a device such as these has connection and basic function by going to JOY.CPL ~ easily accessed through Winkey+R

I have seen a thread stating that placing the selector on top to PS3 instead of PS4 triggers LGS to detect your device. Just a flip of a switch, so worth a shot, right?

[Trucker64]

I've went through and tried everything I've found to try and still nothing. The wheel is recognized by Windows and shows up every where it's supposedf to on my computer. But LGS still doesn't detect it.

make sure lgs is running as administrator

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Uninstall LGS completely and reboot and then download and install the latest version

[Trucker64]

Went through and uninstalled everything for the wheel and LGS, reinstalled all of it and still nothing and Logitech is no help. I've talkd to several people with the same problem and they haven't been able to get any answers either. It wouldn't be so bad except not all games have ways to make adjustments ingame and without being able to use LGS then you are out of luck.

Did you try:

Going to the Properties for the EXE files for whatever services are required; change those properties to "Run as Admin" under "All Users"

If this alone does not work (after apply + rebooting Windows); try disconnecting the Wheel, if wheel is switched to PS4-Mode, try changing to PS3-Mode, then re-connect the device again and see if the OS and/or LGS then is able to properly see the device and show it available under LGS

[Trucker64]

Same thing the OS detects it but LGS doesn't.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Anyways to try the device on another PC that meets the requirements?

[Trucker64]

No and my son is having the same problem with his.
