And the T300 disappears and reverts to the generic description and unusable. So I start that process, states it is installing the firmware, then it calibrates and the moment the wheel hits 180d immediately the firmware comes up with an error stateing that it is set to PS3 and to change to PS4 (and yes it is set to PS4). It also then shows up in my Device Manager as a Thrustmaster T300 under the game controls section. Do the L2/元 process, light stays off, plug it in, the firmware recognises it as a T300. So next step is to try load the firmware through the bootloader method. Also turned off Windows Security and my firewalls just in case these were preventing the download/install of the drivers. And also tried all the USB2 ports (4) in the back of my PC along with the 2 USB3'sin front.

And to be clear, I have downloaded and tried to install about 10 different versions of the driver just in case it was complete. Then comes up with the same generic profile and I simply cannot use it. So I download the latest driver/firmware, plug in when asked, it calibrates and automatically my PC pops up saying installing the TM Racing Wheel FB.īack to the installer it says it is installing the driver and it will take a few minutes, but after a second or two (half done) finishes and tells me to reboot. In my Device Manager it lists itself as a HID (compliant game controller). Would appreciate any advice.īasically the wheel disconnects occasionally and then shows up in the control panel (twice) as a generic "Thrustmaster Racing Wheel FFB". So I am trying to work out whether the wheel is dead or it is something I can recover. 6 months later it has returned and this time no such luck. But I have had this same problem before and after a week or so managed to rectify it. Besides issues with the break pedal not calibrating properly for sometime it is still a great wheel (that is an argument for another day). Ive had a Thrustmaster T300 for a few years.
