Logitech G923 question

[330_D]

Hi there.

A dude I work with just bought a G923 for his PS5 and he's having trouble getting it to connect in game. It boots up, does the spin each way for calibration, all the buttons work to navigate through, and the wheel feels tight like the FFB is working. He enters a race and everything still works except for the steering. The wheel won't turn. He can shift, use the brakes, all the buttons seem to do what they should etc. except he can't turn.

I'm helping him remotely. I'm not with the wheel at his house but instead of cluttering up the G pro thread where I initially asked, I thought I'd start a thread and see if I can't help this guy get going.

Anyone with any advice or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate the help!

Thank you all in advance.

He figured it out. It was an aftermarket headset he was using. He unplugged it from the console and the wheel works as intended.

Just for reference, which make/model of headset was it?

 

[330_D]

I will check back with him and update @LOGI_Rich

@LOGI_Rich some cheap Amazon brand named Nubwo. He sent a picture but something in the image is broken and it won't upload here.

Thanks - noted for future reference.

No worries. Maybe it'll help someone else in the future as well. Not much out there in the web about this...

Sometimes the buttons will fail to work to for me, what I found was if I restart the console by pressing the play button on the wheel, you can load up your user a count via the wheel instead of the controler.

As when you first boot your console after being powered of you have to use your controler to boot up your user account. Only then can you a activate the wheel, But then after you've booted up your user account with your controler you can then restart the console with your wheel and then you can load up your user account without having to use your controler, so the controler doesn't even load up at all when you restart your console with the wheel, this normal fixes any issues with wheel inputs not being recognised 😊

You can log in to the user account with just the wheel - I do it all the time. Just make sure that you only connect the G923 to the console once you're on the user login screen, otherwise you might find that if you then start GT7 straight away then Trueforce might not be working.

f your console is turned completely of you have to use the controler to boot up your console.

I think you've misunderstood the question is not whether you can log into your account with the wheel,

The question is when your console is switched of you can not start your console up with the wheel, which means you then have two devices logged in as in the controler and the wheel.

Which means you have to use the controler on start up and Only then can you activate the wheel after you've pressed X on the controler on your user account.

But Whilst the console is switched on if you restart the console via the wheel, then upon start up you can press the play button then x with the wheel and it will be recognised , the other way round it's not.

By doing it this way it doesn't even switch the controler on in start up and only the wheel will get the inputs, also by doing it this way it gets rid of glitches where by inputs from the wheel can stop working.

Also by doing it this way glitches don't happen at all.

I was simply responding to this sentence:

As when you first boot your console after being powered of you have to use your controler to boot up your user account.

which reads as if you can't use the wheel to log in to the user account.

Booting up the console though: sure, no third party device can start the console using the PS button, but you can of course still just press the power button on the console :-)

understood but yes you can't use the wheel when you start the console from being switched of.

You have to use the controler first then the wheel 😊
