More intel for @Podger

I decided to try beta version 8 instead of the current 9. All my problems vanished. FFB feels much better, the clanking mid corner is gone, it’s smooth. Fps no issues yet. Game sees it as a DD Pro.

Hi what's your setting on Dd1 and in game?

Anyone knows solution to non functioning Fanatec-mode? Now it doesn't work in XsX's ACC or FH5, or wheel work but no ffb at all. And in PS5's side in example F-mode doesn't seem to work at all in F1 2021 or in PS5's ACC. Of course you can use logi/2-mode but ffb is much worse when you use it. Was now using CSW 2.0 with F1 2020 LE

Bad btw, is actual company's drivehub forum down etc, it doesn't let me log in/reach it.
 
Using a Fanatec CSL Elite wheelbase + McLaren GT3 V2 wheel combination connected to a DriveHub. Despite GT7's recent update supposedly allowing the V2 up/down toggle switches to adjust MFD settings, I am unfortunately unable to get them to work. Anyone else using a Fanatec wheel equipped with toggle switches and a DriveHub?
 
I am curious about this as well, I’m using a CSW 2.5 with PS4 Pro with beta 8, I am away ATM so can’t test myself.

Hey Guys, I just received my drivehub today. My setup is the G29 on the Xbox Series S. I’ve updated the firmware to the latest which is the beta 9 but my wheel disconnects intermittently in games such as f12021 and FH5. I tried beta 8 and it was the same problem. I have my wheel set to PS4 mode bc in ps3 mode, it will not recognise my clutch pedal. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

One possible remedy is to ensure that the cable connections are really good. The vibrations from normal use can dislodge things.

I have looped a rubber band around the input cable and the Drivehub itself so that the cable is pulled into its socket. That did the trick for me.

Tried it but didn’t work. Intermittent disconnections still occur. Thanks for the help tho. Will try again tmr and the next day. If problem persists, I’m gonna file a refund which sucks cuz I might have to sell my g29 to get a wheel compatible for the Xbox.
 
As I wrote on page 83, and stupac85 and PrimeTimeRaz wrote after me, there is a problem of random disconnects with DH.
For me on XBOX One S and XBOX Series X having disconnects since I own the DH (2018).
I tried everything to fix disconnects - the whole DH is kind of useless to me. I disconnects between 10 seconds to 20 minutes randomly. Drives me nuts.
 
Other than having good cables don't know what else to suggest. I've used DH with an Xbox One for a couple of years and with an Xbox Series X for the last 3 months without any disconnects. My wheel is an old Fanatec Porsche GT2 that I've used since FM3 / FM4 days. DH version I'm on is 1.08 Beta 9.

I should have included "try a different cable" in my earlier suggestion. I now remember that that got me around disconnection issues a year or two ago.

Finally, maybe there's a way of resetting the Drivehub. I forget.

Yea I’ll try buying a cheap dedicated wired Xbox controller as a last resort. Hopefully it’ll work because that’s the only other possible fix for this.

I was referring to the USB cable that goes between your Xbox and the Drivehub. Try a different cable. Just in case that’s the issue.
 
done. i have it. But the problem is on xbox and on ps5. The disconnections are random on xbox and ps with all games. There is a problem with drivehub and i don't understand what it is. Is there a way to factory reset drivehub?

ps. with g923 there's no need to use horipad. Infact i use controller port.
I have a PS4, GT7 and a G27 wheel. It worked fine during Sport, but in GT7 the wheel was constantly going dead.

I updated the Drive hub's firmware and the problem went away.

Ok will try. So I’m assuming that the Xbox Series Controller itself is not a factor. I thought it was, that’s why I thought about buying a dedicated wired controller.
 
When I first set up my Drive Hub I used some short little usb charging cable that came with some small device between the Drive Hub and the controller. It looked like a USB cable. It had the USB symbol molded into it, but it was just a charging cable. It was someone here that helped me fix that.

I tried a different cable and it still doesn’t work. This time the disconnections are more random and there’s a long beep coming from the wheel base. Btw, I’ve noticed that there’s a blinking dot on the right side of the zero. Is that normal?

I really doubt that the Controller would be the cause. I like the idea of checking ALL cables because it's easy and, if that turns out to be the problem, it's cheap and quick to resolve. (I'm assuming you have a snakes' nest of accumulated USB cables like I do 😉)

Frequently used cables have a tendency to degrade inside. Also, their plugs become a little bent, and make poorer connections. Good luck! 🤞

EDIT:

In the latest post you mentioned "...a blinking dot on the right side of the zero."

Not sure what you're referring to there?

I have the Formula V2 + 2.5 base and it don’t work. All 4 switches just go up/down on the weather radar, tc etc. I guess it is only for DD users at it mentions something about the DD on the patch notes.
 
@Podger




I was talking with this guy, he updated to the beta after the video, so the vid itself isn’t as relevant. But in the comments we discuss how it felt after updating the drivehub to beta 9.

“You can tweak Drive Hub to be close to native PlayStation general feeling but it still feels like there is less detail with Drive Hub. I suspect the refresh rate is lower with Drive Hub. The dynamic range seems lower too”.

He also mentioned that initially with the same settings the DH connected DD felt like it had twice the resistance.

Have you guys tested back to back with DD1 PS4 with/without DH?

I’m still running Beta 8 on DD2 and on long stints I get the occasional game freak out where wheel/game don’t sync and it’s jumpy. Solution is reset wheel/drivehub.



How can the game see it as a DD Pro ? that feature was introduced in beta 9 .
I went back to beta 8 just because of your comment, maybe i missed something. Game sees my DD pro as a Csl Elite and the DH detects it as a csw2.5
It might have only been a DD Pro issue? On both beta 8 and 9 I was adjusting my button mapping using the DD Pro option.
Hi what's your setting on Dd1 and in game?
I’m on DD2.

Don’t have it setup but I know ballpark where it’s at.

Was going mental with the framerate issues until I found this thread.

CSL Elite + Clubsport V3 Pedals and in Fanatec Mode, I too get the framerate issues.

I do hope that we get a firmware update or whatnot soon.
Are these framerate issues/stuttering fixed with an firmware update? :)

Yes here :) csw 2.5 and BMW GT2 wheel + drivehub and Fanalogic mode. Buttons and switches works perfect for me with ps5 and GT7. But the FFB feels not that good. And on fanatec Mode it feels perfect but game is half speed and low framerate... Unplayable...

Nvm I’m an idiot, I checked it wrong 😂.

I’m back on beta 9 now. It took some tweaking and still needs more but feels decent now. Still have knocking when holding a slide.

Hello @Podger and other sim racers. Please help. I have a some problems with drivehub on my set:

  • PS5
  • DriveHub beta 9
  • Fanatec Porsche 911 GT2
  • Custom Logitech G25 pedals with holla throttle/clutch and load cell brake (connected with adapter to Fanatec whell)

1) Clutch
When I start in Fanatec mode, clutch at rest indicate 50%, and when I push, the clutch indicator moves like this: 50-0-49.
When I start in Logitech mode, the problem is similar but different meanings.

I also trying put pedals in drive hub co-pilot (beta 9) in accessory port and pedals works fine from 0 to 100, if I power off Fanatec wheel. When I power on Fanatec wheel, clutch indicator is filling up to 50.

That is, the problem comes precisely from a bunch of Fanatec Porsche 911 Gt2 wheel and Drive Hub

I also found an interesting way to connect my steering wheel. After connecting the steering wheel to the drive hub and calibrating, I press not just the Back button, but the Back + Connect buttons. After this trick Clutch works from 0 to 100, but FF not like Fanatec mode.

Tested pedals in Dirt Rally 2.0 settings

2) Fanatec mode problem in Gran Turismo Sport.
FF works incorrect.
Constant jerking of the steering wheel does not allow using the Fanatec mode in the GTS. And FF in Logitech mode is very bad.

3) FF problem in The Crew 2 game in any mode (F and L)
Slight twitching of the steering wheel interferes with driving. When I had a Logitech G25 steering wheel, there were no problems
 
New DriveHub user with a Fanatec DD1 with a Clubsport Universal Hub v2 for XBOX, R300 rim and CSL Elite pedals.

Had a heck of a time figuring out the right button combo's on the Universal hub to get my DD1 into CS 2.5 PC Comp mode and then setting the DriveHub to Fanatec mode - Hope the below diagram helps somebody else!

Fanatec mode made a huge difference vs Fanalogic mode in GT7 and now the funky switch controls the MFD settings, curbs and road feedback is significantly improved!
