    Hello,

    Hardware: Fanatec GT DD Pro + Fanatec ClubSport Formula V2.5 X

    I have been experiencing an issue in the past couple of months where the right up/down switch on the steering wheel always says "Invalid input". That wasn't always the case - initially, when I set the game up more than a 1 year ago it was fine and did register okay. I am sure it's not a hardware issue because it works fine in other titles. I do have a custom button box (arduino due) and yes, I did disconnect it and try, but I have the same issue. All the other buttons on the steering wheel work fine, including the switch on the left-hand side. It's only the right one that has this issue - the same for the up and down movement.

    Until now that wasn't really an issue, because it was it was always bound to the correct switch, but today I accidentally reset it and now I can't set it back.

    Is there something I can do to fix this behaviour?

    Have you verified game files?

    Just ran the verification on steam and yes, all files were/are valid. I went to settings after and still experiencing the same issue.

    I’m sorry I can’t help you since I don’t have any issue with similar equipment

    If there's invalid input there must be something that's interfering, so it detects multiply inputs somehow.

    Yes, that's what I thought at first too, but it's just that one toggle (up value and down value), all the other buttons, including the left-hand side toggle work perfectly fine. This is also why I tried disconnecting my button box, but it's the same issue

    Brilliant, that worked, thank you!
    I've set it to "Generic Direct Drive", which seems to also work fine. I've had it set to Fanatec > CLS DD, which technically is the same as GT DD Pro, as it's just CLS DD + PS support, but I guess the firmware underneath may be different?

    AMS2 has an issue when you make a profile using a brand. A legacy wheel configuration doesn’t cause any issues
