CSL DD profiles resetting/ignored by rFactor 2 when returning to track (UI loop bug)

Hi, the problem is:
(Aí text)
Hello everyone,I am trying to configure different profiles in the Fanatec software for my CSL DD (5Nm/8Nm). I have been following online guides and AI troubleshooting for the past two days, but I ran into a persistent issue.I discovered that the problem is not my settings, but rather that rFactor 2 seems to drop or ignore the Fanatec profile configurations every time I exit the track and return to it later.For example: I created a specific profile for an open-wheel car with a higher Damper setting (at 75) to eliminate wheel oscillations. When I go out on the track for the first time, the car behaves perfectly and the oscillations are gone. However, if I return to the pit/garage (exit to the UI) and then go back to the track again—whether I tweak some settings or not—the car starts oscillating heavily again, as if the hardware settings were completely ignored.To summarize the behavior:If I do nothing and just go back to the track, the problem happens.If I close rFactor 2 entirely, return to the desktop, and relaunch the game, the settings work properly again on the first run, and the car behaves as expected.In short, the configuration made in the Fanatec profile only applies the very first time I load into a track per session. If I have to exit the track to the rFactor 2 UI and then click "Drive" again, the oscillation problem returns as if the hardware adjustments were lost.I am not entirely sure which software is failing to hold the changes. However, logically, it seems to be an rFactor 2 issue. When I alt-tab or exit to the desktop to check the Fanatec Control Panel/Fanalab, the active profile is still the correct one, and all values (like Damper at 75) are visually correct.If anyone could shed some light on this or has a workaround, I would deeply appreciate it.
Best regards,

The problems were caused by the fanacrap.app changing the hardware settings on the base. The instructions were to remove the app and use drivers only.

"The Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel GT3 is not supported by legacy software like FanaLab or the old Control Panel"

help!
 
well, im pretty fu*, it drops settings playing with rf2 and my steering wheel doesnt work with old fanatec software :mad:
 
I had the same issue and could not fix it, did roll backs, registers changes and nothing worked. I ultimately resolved by buying a new clubsport wheel base. Suggest you contact fanatec support - they reckon the latest update fixed some issues for some people - but clearly not from our experiences.
Lesson don’t update fanatec software unless you absolutely have to.
