Both controllers and fanatec stopped working ?

Hi Max, my name is Vanessa, it's a pleasure to be able to help you.

The problem you are experiencing is quite rare, but there are some things you can try to fix it.

First, you need to check if your drivers are up to date. You can do this by opening Device Manager and clicking on the "Sound, video, and game
controllers" tab. If your drivers are outdated, you can update them from the manufacturer's website for your device, always making sure it is
the correct driver.

If your drivers are up to date, you can try restarting your PC. This can fix any temporary issues that may be causing the problem.

If restarting your PC doesn't fix the problem, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Fanatec drivers. To do this, open Device Manager and
click on the "Sound, video, and game controllers" tab. Right-click on the Fanatec driver and select "Uninstall." Once you have uninstalled the
driver, restart your PC and reinstall it from the Fanatec website.

If you have tried all of these steps and the problem persists, please do not hesitate to contact me again. Below I will leave you the more
detailed steps so that it will be easier for you to orient yourself with the instructions I have given you.

Here are the detailed steps on how to uninstall and reinstall the Fanatec drivers:

1)Open Device Manager.

2)Click on the "Sound, video, and game controllers" tab.

3)Right-click on the Fanatec driver and select "Uninstall."

4)In the confirmation window, click "Yes."

5)Restart your PC.

6)Visit the Fanatec website and download the latest drivers for your device.

7)Run the driver installation file.

8)Follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers.

I hope this helps you fix the problem.

Thanks for replying Adam.

We can’t even use the controllers to get to settings to reinstall or update it? Is there another way to do this please?

Thanks for mesaging!

Hi Max C, my name is Adam.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your controllers and Fanatec. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

1. The issue could be related to a driver update. Try to uninstall the current driver and installing an older version that has a fix for the crashing issue.

2. Try to reset your controller.

I hope one of these solutions works for you. If not, please let me know and I’ll do my best to find more information.

Adam.

When I asked if people are pushing Fanatec my point is that they are likely to be the ones to make their wheels work with the xbox one if it is at all possible. So with regards to fanatec wheels I believe peoples desire here is more likley to be fulfilled
if pressure is put on both MS AND Fanatec.

This is what I expected, however, Fanatec blame Microsoft , and Microsoft blame everyone else, and do nothing.

Why does all features work on PC and PlayStation and not Xbox.

Please explain to a novice, who is stopping this ?

Fanatec

Microsoft or

Codemasters?

Will F1 2022 have these SDK improvements?
