I have been waiting for so long for the Xbox SDK and it has not been implemented whilst PC players are having their new software app whilst us Xbox players have been waiting months and years for the basic telemetry data. Thank you for any replies and no this is not hostile towards neither Xbox nor fanatec.

The SDK is finished and already shared with game developers for over a year.
Game developers need to implement the new SDK into their games via a game Patch which, as of now,.only happened for Forza Motorsport, no other game has implemented the new SDK yet.
It is now up to the Firmware to implement the new SDK features which is planned for the first half of this year.
When the new SDK features are implemented into the firmware, then the new features will work in games which have implemented the new SDK which, as already said, would be Forza Motorsport only atm.
It it the first half of the year or early this year? Also if Fanatec have the firmware why don’t they just update it alreatdy. Thank you for the response!
We dont have the firmware. That's the part which is in development and when finished needs to be tested before it can be released.
There is no more concrete ETA.
Will any driver be released in first half of the year that will actualy release and not be just planed for release?
Yes.
How are you so sure? Rally module hotfix was also planned for 2024 and it is broken for over a year by now, not to mention other problems. I bought 2k Bentley crap for example that doesn't even work like it should. Even if i report a problem, it won't be fixed anyway. Now that the new software suite is "coming soon", even more problems will appear, so i bet nothing will be fixed this year also. Sorry, but i'm so sick of this bullshit. Every year is worse. Nothing is being fixed that should be fixed already. Just excuses all the time. This system doesn't work!
P.S. Don't want to argue with you Maurice. My hats off to you.
It was always said that a BMR hotfix driver release is planned for EITHER late 2024 OR early 2025. It became the latter and this plan did not changed. There WILL BE that BMR hotfix release in the first quarter this year.
PS: What issues do you have with the Bentley Wheel? No issues for this wheel are reported by anyone, hence of course no work on issues is going on.
You never said 2025 but ok. In december you answered me again, that it's still planed for 2024. Anyway,... will ask again in three months.
You say you dont want to argue with me but then you dont remember what I said correctly and basically say that I am lying.
To get your memories get sorted, here a screenshot of my latest comment to you regarding the BMR hotfix driver.
As you can see, I already said on 14th December that a late 2024 release is still planned BUT I also said that plans can fail so the BMR hotfix release might slip into early 2025 which is exactly what happened because I also didnt knew that everyone is on holidays for 2 weeks so basically there was simply no time left last year to release that hotfix driver anymore.
So, please keep it to actual facts without interpreting something wrong into my words, thx.
I meant, you never said "late 2024 OR early 2025". I never said that you are lying. And the last sentence is just a defense strategy so no one can twist your words. Your answers are always ambiguous if spmeone wants to know anything more, so that you shut them up and calm things down and not give any information at the same time. I'm not new here. But you are still the only one that has any information from fanatec, and that actualy still talks to people regardless. Ofcourse every word you say/type is almost holy here. If it wasn't for you, everything would have gone to shit even faster. I don't care about BMR hotfix. The wheel has been a paperweight since release. I'm just sick of it, that nothing is being fixed, except some random shit that in the end causes more problems than fixes them. You need lates driver for the new stuff, but that causes problems with your older gear, if you don't want problems with older gear, you must revert back to older drivers, but then your new gear won't work. And you can't change some parts of the gear from diferent brand unless you change everything, because fanatec locks you in. Just great.
Properly worded. I think /especially on Xbox side/ there are already so many of us feeling abandoned…
Competition is also building up fast already, making us feel “we should have waited a bit more”, before investing…
