I don't know what the problem is, but now by shifting gear down I get not 5-4-3-2-1, but 5-1 and the like. Yes, it's not every time, but it's a shame to drive half an hour and ruin the engine... Is there a problem with the steering wheel or the game?
Find your player.JSON and open it with Notepad \Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\player.JSON In the Driving Aids section find the lines: "Repeat Shifts":4, "Repeat Shifts#":"0 = no repeat shift detection, 1 = detect and eliminate accidental repeat shifts within 100ms, 2 = 150ms, 3 = 200ms, 4 = 250ms, 5 = prevent shifting again before previous shift is completed", Edit the first line. I have mine set at 4 and never have any repeat shifts.
So far, everything's working fine. But my steering wheel is under warranty, since it was bought at the end of December 2019.
In that case, it's strange. I wouldn't increase too much the Repeat Shifts to realise if the problem is going worse.
Agree. If it were a few years old a new switch would almost certainly fix it (I replaced my Ferrari rim switches with some from a 20 year old MS ball mouse!) so you might consider a warranty claim at some point.
