    Hello.
    My T500RS disconnects randomly when i Race/Practice, using the latest Build.
    I only see that "Input Controller has Changed" or something like that in the message box and after a secound iam holding a completely wrong centered wheel in my hands.
    I can pause the action, plug the wheel out and in, let it center and can continue driving.
    I firstly thought my wheelbase is broken, but i can race for hours in RBR or rF1 (with Realfeel) with no problem.
    My System Specs:
    OS: Win7 Ult
    MB: MSI Z87 G41
    CPU: 4670K@4,2 fixed
    GPU: GTX760

    Greets

    I dont use any Hubs and tryed USB 2.0 and 3.0 Ports.
    Makes no difference.
    Would be nice to get more information out of the Game.
    I also use a SHH-Shifter, but cant see if it also disconnects when i use it.
    But i see, that iam using an older driver for the wheel, so i will first update it.

    Two days and ~5h without any problems and today it happened again two times with the latest Driver.
    Seems like it happens when the Wheel is spinning fast, but i cant provoke it simply by rotating it fast or drifting with 1080° and hard FFB.

    It sounds to me like this issue might not be with rF2, but that rF2 is causing the symptom to present. First thing I would do is to remove or reduce the overclock on the CPU, then if that doesn't help, I would suspect the PSU. When there are problems with USB port disconnects, I would think it's more likely a hardware problem than software causing it.

    Setting it to default clock doesn't help.
    Also tryed the 4.2GHz overclock with prime95 and furmark on the secound screen.
    It worked well after a while (physics sync?) but you mean the wheels PSU, right?

    Today the Wheel did the same thing for the first time in another Game.
    So it should be a Problem with my PC or Wheel.
    Thread can be closed.

    In my case i think it was the bend in my power cord.
    Wanted it all clean and maybe put too much stress on the din plug.
    If it fails agein i will solder it... dont want a disconnect when playing online.
