Need help with shifting problem v2.5x

Hello all fanatec members
Im new and received my csl dd ,,v3 pedals,,and v2.5x formula wheel few weeks ago
Ive noticed that my v2.5x wheel is from a recent batch with firmware 0.3.5.0
I use the driver 462 ,,everything is updated
Now i have this very annoying shifting problem when my ffb setting is above 40%
Then i sometimes have missing shifts ,,downshifts as wel as upshifts
My wheel allready had an rma ! they changed the main cable ,,but the shifting problem is still there
I read a lot about others that have this same sort of shifting issues and many say if they revert the driver and firmware to an older one the issue is solved
Because my wheel is quite recent i cant downgrade the firmware lower than 0.3.5.0
Can somebody please help me how i can fix this that my wheel shifts normal above 40% ffb ???
Ill play f12020 and very strange thing is that when i swap the v2.5x to my wrc wheel ,with this wheel the shifting goes perfect without any miss shifts ,,even when i crank up the ffb to 150%
Can please somebody explain what could be the shifting problem with my v2.5x wheel

since the 456 firmware they have mis shift issue, by default yes some users can use they older firmware for fix it
you seems have this new type v2.5x, you out off luck and need wait they fix
accounting off some new info, you should able use that in 455, you could try that out in there and maybe helps you

Hello Allan and James
Thank you for your replies !!
It's very sad to hear that i have a recent v2.5x wheel that can't be downgraded on firmware and im out of luck because of this
I tried allready to revert to driver 455 insteas of 462
Unfortunately it's impossible to downgrade the 0.3.5.0 firmware like shown in this screenshot
And James ,,thanks for creating a support ticket ,but off course ,,i am allready in contact with fanatec supoort team about this issue !
My wheel also had an Rma ,but the shifting problem is still there
So i realy don't know what to do now ???
Ralf
you not need downgrade the steering wheel, you need todo that for the base self -.-
that miss shift issue comes most likley from base hardware csl dd/DD1/DD2 firmware, not from the steering wheel self
if downgrade the base firmware not help then dunno.
Thanks for you reply again
I noticed this while reading info on the form that the problem is base firmware
I tried to downgrade the base but realy dont know how to do this
Only thing what i could do was revert to driver 455 but nowhere i see this option like on my screenshot ,only thing what i vould do was ,flash firmware ,but then the overview says still up to date
How i do this downgrade the base firmware ???
I have good news ! 😁
Yesterday i tested my v2.5x on my collegue's ps5 with dd pro on 100% ffb
Same game & same game settings
I did like 20 laps on my favorite circuit zandvoort
Not 1 time i had a miss shift
The wheel shifts perfectly !
So we discovered the shifting problem at my home is because of my csl dd base
Then we checked his wheelbase settings in the fanatec menu
I copied the exact settings on my base
And guess what ,,,,my wheel shifts perfect without any problem 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤩🤩
So the miss shifting was no firmware issue at all
I used these settings
Im very happy that this shifting problem is finnaly solved ,, 🤩
Please let me know what you think of this
May'be this information is useful for others that have the same issue 😉
Kind regards
Ralf van den Broecke
you mean one off those settings may cause miss shift?
because by default it should not happen at all
Hi Allan
Thanks for your reply !
I didn't try yet to revert the settings to default ,to see if the wheel then get miss shifts again on high ffb setting
But believe me im very happy i could copy my collegue's settings ,and after this my wheel shifts without problems
Why i get misshifts by default i still don't know
But im gonna test this to revert to default and then ill let you know 😉
Well ,,im done testing now
The miss shift problem of my v2.5x wheel
Is because of this
multi position switch setting !!!
When it's on auto > i directly had miss shifts again in 2nd lap
Set it back to encoder > No miss shifts anymore
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
thanks , i try out that in my DD2 as well
Your welcome !
Let me know the result
Ralf
that does not help, this bug is time or counter based, by default it not pops up all the time in here
and short test may not even show the problem
Thanks for those hints.
Just weird because both settings should do the same and not impact the shifting.
Were there other differences between the settings which created the issue and the ones which didn't?
there is one thing what i notice, it does not always detect apm in steering wheel
for example in 451 , it detect right away without any issue
Hey Ralf,
thanks for the update and that's wonderful news! Kudos to your colleague who helped you solve this issue with the settings! We're glad that your shifter is now working as intended. Have fun and enjoy it!
Best, your Fanatec Team
Hi all, i observed the same problem. In the game i have sometimes no shifting.
I have the driver 462 and all firmware is updated.
In the Fanatec control panel I can check the steering wheel button functions and shows me the visual indication if I use it. By shifting or rotated the funky switch in some moments its stutters/ no indicator feedback and after seconds it works again.
I tried this with a universal hub wheel and it works perfectly fine, complete smooth! So I can say this is a issue of the formula wheel!
To change the multi-postion switches from auto to constant or encoder helps a bit but I can detected a shorter „freeze“ time.
For the moment i can life with that but please Fanatec do something… thanks.
HI all,
the problem is not gone with those settings. Today i had 3h Zandvoort and this was a mess. Delay i up and downshifts or i didnt get up/down shift to work.
i have the new Red Bull clubsport wheel and csl dd wheelbase. At first i thougt there is a hardware problem. but when i am reading it, it is a general firmware problem.
Happy to help to resolve the problem. Till now i haven`t a race where i went smooth.
Thank you
Hi Tomas, same for me.
Not driveable at the moment with the newest driver 464 for CSL DD + Formula 2.5 Wheel.
So whats for me really helps and proved it with 3 races is to downgrade the Fanatec PC Driver to 452, firmware newest (see image). Be careful because I have a CSL DD and 452 has no issues with it!
Downgrade works if you download older PC Driver Version, uninstall the current PC Driver App and install the older version.
Complete over the top this procedure but it helps for me, hope for you too.
same problem here with the 462 Driver and the CSL DD.
changed to my Mclaren GT3 to get races without shift problems.
hopefully they will get this fixed, its really annoying.
The 452 Driver will not work with Fanalab or am i wrong?
