No, it is a well known hardware issue of some older base units where the WQR had a sleeping hardware issue which gets triggered when updating the Firmware.
Was discussed some months ago already when the issue came up the first time - in all cases it was a broken WQR Module.
Hi Maurice, thanks for you r great contributions to this forum, both with your profiles and also your willingness to help.
A quick question:
As an owner of an early model DD1 PS4 version: I have upgraded firmware multiple times without problems, but can this sleeping hardware issue still trigger on a future update, or am I 'safe' having done multiple successful updates?
well i quess, user can always send hardware to third party Expert for figure this out if it was somestort firmware update failure issue than a hardware issue. all those microships are possible manually test with tools if they ok or not
but by default users not todo that
why im say this because user tell, he hardware worked before the update
My wheel still randomly disconnects. Im actually getting annoyed at this now. There is no way for me to replicate it, it just happens randomly during races. I can not use ANY of my buttons on the wheel, the LEDs freeze, but FFB and steering still works. I've tried every solution given to me, but none of them work.
I paid a lot of money for this stuff, its been 4mo and its already faulty. What the fuck...
Downgrading to the previous CSL DD wheel base firmware fixed the Xbox mode missing issue with my Formula V2.5x wheel. I was switching between that and the Xbox Universal hub and when the Formula wheel was on, couldn't get the base into Xbox mode with the buttons on the base or wheel. Now with previous firmware no problems.
For the past several weeks, I can’t play WRCG because when my Fanatec DD is on, and I go into WRCG, it just auto scrolls down - preventing me from completing control mapping or starting a stage. If I turn off my DD2, the game operates normally again (but that doesn’t help because my wheel is off). Any help would be appreciated.
Since we spoke last week, I'm still waiting for a new contact from Fanatec... I sent them all the videos of all the flyers and they have everything, but I still haven't heard back from them as quickly as I should. Many days have passed, and I am still at the same point as when everything happened to me.
it to had this wqr issue, i not know atm anymore what i todo exactly but i to remember i todo some restarts downgrade the firmware and then upgrade and then restarts or something like this again
but yours shows v6 for me it was 0.0.0.0 in begging and then it was v6
I tried downgrading as recommended in some other thread. It 'fixes' the problem, until i again download a new driver and tries to upgrade the WQR firmware.
it is some firmware update issue, it seems like started recently, i not had this issue when i used 451 and when i upgraded that form factory default one
for me the 454 was a warning sight and i not used that at all for my DD2, this is not a normal at all if users start complain that after updated pedals not work anymore
I have a new GT DD Pro (5Nm). I can update the WB (Driver 455), but not the Steering Wheel. If I try to do the update, the power button is flashing and there is no response from the Control Panel. I tried it with Driver 451 and 453, I push the power button for 10 sec...but nothing works!
Once again thanks for your help Maurice. This is so frustrating that a brand new product is just totally unusable!
I have been looking into this more as im still waiting for support to reply and by the sound of it i might be waiting a while!
Cant update firmware on Mclaren gt3 v2! CS DD
Could it be a driver issue? i have noticed a few things and would like help to rule out.
From watching a video on youtube someone said you should have 3 fanatec items in device manager 1. Wheel base 2. comp 2.5 mode and 3.xbox if drivers have been installed correctly.
i can switch from pc to comp mode but when i choose xbox the light goes green for a second then back to red and to pc mode so i can’t choose xbox mode for a start.
When I’m using pc mode what should the usb device in device manager be selected as? because mine is fanatec wheel when i choose pc mode then fanatic club sport 2.5 for comp mode but CS-WB-DD always stays greyed out. Is this correct?
I have tried uninstall and reinstall drivers and tried older 454 driver etc but same issue. The problem i have as you can see from the picture is the wheel is reading firmware version 0 and it says firmware file not found when i try to update firmware. I am hoping this can just be solved through firmware or driver updates/changes.
From trying the file you said Maurice when it said no i need .eff file and not the hex i then noticed in the firmware folder there is the FirmwarUpdateEufe which has a drop down to upload FW on steering wheel ext if i choose that drop drown it allows me to load the McLaren gt3 v2 hex file but i didn’t want to risk flashing. can that be flashed there?
Im getting desperate now in a hope that i can fix this rather than send back which I’m sure will take forever so another question is in the FW folder there is a ClubsportUpdater but when you choose that is says need to connect properly and put in boot loader mode.
How do you put CS DD in boot loader mode to run this updater? is that safe?
Is there a way to do a factory reset on the base to try install everything again from scratch?
Welcome to my problem with the WQR.....at the moment no steering wheel works for me, and I am unable to use anything, waiting for Fanatec to answer me and give me a solution for 10 days
question is tho are you see at firmware update the V6 ?
i not remember anymore exact steps but i to needed use that downgrade button and install 2021 firmware, and then i was able somehow upgrade to wq7 after that
its like they update process is broken in that part and in some scenario it works for example if use older firmware first
they to have also that xbox bug what is happening, maybe its something todo with this aswell
if that not help to you happen have some other pc ? you could also try at other pc, as we dealing here the pc drivers if there something not right after install then it could happen because off that aswell

no what? hardware not act like this how you descript, unless if that acts same like this from first day buy

but does user even was able install latest WQR, because even i had issue with that at 455 update , in 451 i not had that
Has nothing to do with updating the WQR. The issue gets triggered when updating the Base Firmware, independent from the used driver.
when i todo a Update from 451 to 455, there was a WQR firmware failure by show me 0.0.0.0
so i needed downgrade and install again for make sure that V7 would be installed aswell
Thats a different issue though (in that case indeed software related), unrelated to the discussed issue of Jaime which is hardware related.
i just fonder what firmware he had there before, because if it would be hardware issue then update would not even possible by default
i try figure out this atm, are you guys scam people by false info as your software have issues with updates. and then claim its a hardware issue
would be easy money indeed

No, you are fine. :)
No. Jesus...

Apparently this only worked once for me, today it refuses to enter Xbox Mode...
i notice this if you take steering wheel out and add back, it may start work again

I can't upgrade my DD1 WQR to From V6 to V7 (since 454 and now 455)
Help would be highly appreciated
it to had this wqr issue, i not know atm anymore what i todo exactly but i to remember i todo some restarts downgrade the firmware and then upgrade and then restarts or something like this again

maybe you need todo base restart for try again

If anyone can help that would be amazing
to you take steering wheel out wait little and then add it back?
i not know tho if that missing xbox support is that what affects the firmware update, but it does happen at 455
I've tried that, still no joy. What's the oldest firmware that works with CS DD?
is there even is a older one? the one before this was bugy as well so i not know if you should even mess with that atm
