My T248 loses force feedback, the force feedback cuts out or changes

Products: T248 (PS4/PS5/PC) ; T248 (Xbox One/XBox Series/PC)




Force feedback works mainly thanks to your racing wheel's firmware. So first check that your T248 is up to date. On our website, you'll find the latest information on your T248's firmware and, if necessary, the firmware update procedure:

- T248 (PS4/PS5/PC)

- T248 (Xbox One/XBox Series/PC)


1. If your T248 performs high or low force feedback

It's possible that your racing wheel's force feedback is poorly adapted to the game and the force feedback it applies. You can therefore try rebalancing the force feedback settings and test your T248 with these new settings.

- Change the force feedback settings in your game. Increase or decrease force feedback to suit your situation.
- You can also change the force feedback settings in your T248 with the Mode button on the steering wheel, by accessing Force with the d-pad (for PCs and game consoles) or via the control panel (PCs only).




2. If the force feedback of your T248 cuts out or changes

The disappearance of force feedback can have several causes, such as time spent playing, temperature or connections. But it can also be linked to the game or your connection.

- As a help, you can read our following article on the effects of force feedback and suitable solutions.

- If you play on an Xbox Series S™ or Xbox Series X™ console, make sure Quick Resume is turned off.
