Logitech G25 problem - force feedback cutoff

[KainRazielMT]

Hello G25/G27 owners, all

I have recently discovered a problem which I initially thought to be simulation of loss of traction on the front wheels in racing games:

The adapter / FFB shuts off for a second or two and then comes back. I know it shuts off because the power LED becomes very dim when this happens, and I get the same dim LED when I plug the adapter out from the wall socket.

It happens in different situations in different games

- In Shift 2, whenever I strongly flick the wheel to the left or right
- In Dirt Rally, it happens when fighting the counter-steering when drifting (turning against the force) or using high feedback percentages and flicking the wheel left to right.

I heard of a term called "clipping", but apparently it's not related to the problem I have.


I already tried reinstalling Logitech Profiler, and I have a brand new PC now so please don't suggest that one.

Have you ever experienced such problems such as this? If so, can you please give suggestions on what to do?


Thank you all in advance!

I suspect a failing power supply. Try to find another power supply with same voltage. I can’t remember if the g25/27 had a fixed power cable or not... if yes then either diy (if you have the skills) or take it to somebody with the Know-how.

Does it happen immediately? Or after a few hours? It could also be a cooling issue.

Hey. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll get an adapter with the same specs (it is removable from the wheel). I believe it happens immediately, so I guess it has nothing to do with heat.

You know, people keep saying that heat makes the FFB weaker and I've seen fan mods for the wheel to aid cooling, but nobody says how much weaker it actually gets.

Depends on the wheel’s firmware.

I replaced the adapter. Lo and behold, problem's gone! It also seems to have solved another problem where the shifter would sometimes need a second or two to recognize third and fifth gear.

Thanks PocketZeven!

No problem! Have fun driving!
