FFB issues with AMD CPU/B550 motherboard
I have already created a support ticket for this issue, but I wanted to know if anybody else had a similar issue and possibly knows a way to fix it.
My problem is that when I first install a wheelbase and the driver package, the force feedback is good but after a while (usually one or two game restarts), the force feedback feels over boosted which means I loose detail. I first spotted this on my CSL DD and re-installed my CSL Elite but the same thing happens. It's also independent of which rim I use.
What I tried to fix the issue:
- Power the wheelbase off and on again
- Restart the computer
- Flash the firmwares
- Trying a different driver package
- Trying different USB ports (including an external USB card)
- Removing the drivers (including in the Windows peripherals) and re-installing them
- Resetting the USB ports
- Updating the BIOS and AMD Chipset drivers
- Re-installing Windows
Doing that only fixes it temporarily. I looked at the log files and for some reason the "FW-Error" and "FW-FFB" files in the logs read SystemInfo PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL (x86). There are also a lot of errors in the dxdiag.txt file. With the same issue happening with two different wheelbases, I would guess the issue is my computer not liking Fanatec firmware or vice-versa but I really don't know what would be the cause.
My system specs are as follows:
- Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4
- GPU: MSI Gaming X AMD RX480 8G
- PSU: Corsair RM750x
- RAM: 2x 8 GB
- Storage: 1 TB SSD (SanDisk) and 1TB HDD (WD)
