Which driver are you using?
I'm using driver 402 the most recent
Here is what the wheel displays when I turn it on
I updated and then the buttons didn't work but every time I turn it on I'm.back to this please update screen
Are you sure you have updated the firmware of both the wheel base and the steering wheel? They are separate processes.
I had the same message a day or two when running 400 (in the middle of qualifying; ruined my race). I upgraded to 402, and I still had the same issue today!

Also, not sure if related, but it seems like since I updated to 402, I've got a ~40% deadzone in iRacing. There's no deadzone in Windows Fanatec Properties, and there's not even a deadzone in the iRacing calibration wizard, but as soon as I get in a car, its there.
Boy that last firmware was a great succes! Never seen so much issues after a release and it's already half a year ago since last firmware / driver update.
If an update warning pops up in the middle of driving, this points to a hardware issue, not a firmware issue. @PJ Gaudie - please create a support ticket via the My Products section of your Fanatec account.
The deadzone issue described by PJ was solved, it was caused by running vJoy (with iRFFB), not firmware related.
Besides this particular issue the forum is spammed with issues after the last firmware update, some may be hardware or user error related but there are still way to many issues left that were caused by not properly testing the firmware before it got released. Take a look at the 402 driver thread and there are more than enough examples.
And it's not like new firmware and drivers with are released on a regular base, v402 is already half a year ago and none if the newly introduced issues have been fixed since.
