Still issues with the McLaren wheel on CSL Elite Ps4 pro

I stopped reading through hundreds of beta driver posts. I am on PS4. I use a PC win 8.1 to update drivers. My CSL Elite Ps4 is on driver 328, Fw630, MotorFw 22. I bought the McLaren second hand and it had Fw30 on it. The McLaren came with the Quick Release.

Problem: start the base with wheel attached, the rim freezes. Oled display shows random little dots. Workaround: start base without wheel. After calibration you can attach the wheel and it doesn’t freeze up.

I upgraded the base to driver 340. Still the wheel freezes upon start.

I downgraded to driver 311 for the base AND the wheel. Base Fw476, wheel Fw25. Than I upgraded the base back to driver 328. Now I can start the base with the wheel attached to it without the McLaren freezing up.

Why does this happen? Is it a firmware issue with the McLaren? Or a faulty ROM in the McLaren Wheel? Is there a combination of base firmware and wheel firmware - besides my combo - that works ...?

    No one any ideas?

    Is it a problem with the CSL Elite base? I also have a CSW V2 base that I can use to update the McLaren wheel if that will help. Will there be an update for the version 30 firmware?

    A short reaction would be highly appreciated.

    Newest being driver 365?

  • Rudi LangezaalRudi Langezaal Member

    I updated to driver 365 and the firmware for the McLaren Rim is now FW31. This was not mentioned in the beta driver post so I did not bother to try. Update went smooth. Hooking it up to the PS4 Pro now and lets see how that goes ;-)

    Thanks.

    ;-)

    The only issue I have now is when the base is turned off for a while, the rim is not activated. I have to restart in PC mode and after restart return to PS4 mode. I also have to get used to the new BLI mode... and the brake force is changed: 0 is now strong force. 100 almost no force.

    But yeah... let the fun begin.

    I did not have such a issue,i only have to reconnect the wheel/base with the PS4 ,with the Xbox button.

    And you have right the Brakeforce adjustment is a bug.

    See if all of your pins are straight and not broken.When you turn on the base with the wheel atached,does the F logo apear on the display and the firmware version number?

    How you can have driver 311 beta and FW 672?

    Are you sure you have done correctly the Driver installation?
