    No Bother at all Marius, I appreciate your efforts!

    I have done both procedures, the verify did nothing.
    the mods folder only has the "example.zip" in it, should I delete the entire folder?
    when I delete the AMS2 folder in my docs, the game loads with default settings and lets me go to the menu and make a few changes then locks up tight as shown in my video.
    I have also tried deleting the folder and making no menu changes, going to choose car/track and it locks up.
    very frustrating.
    thanks for your help
    Michael

    Marius,
    I seem to remember an app called "WhoCrashed" that detailed windows processes during application crashes, would something like that help in tracking down my issue?
    thanks again for your attention
    Michael

    Update; I have run the new version of WhoCrashed and it identified an old version of a backup app called Acronis that could be the culprit, I uninstalled it and the game now loads to menu without crashing, I will now connect all my Fanatec equipment and software from Fanalab, SimHub and Discord to see if the game is stable again.
    Thanks for your help I will report when I have a definitive test run.

    Update2; uninstalling Acronis True Image software did the trick, all is well for 30 minutes of racing. I hope this is the definitive fix. WhoCrashed software was invaluable in detecting the culprit. Thanks again Marius for testing with your equipment and making me take a closer look at my software environment.
    much appreciated!
    Michael

    Hi everyone! Two days ago I bought a Moza GS V2P steering wheel. And I was very disappointed when I saw that the game AMS2 doesn't recognize all of its functions. It's impossible to assign functions like TC, ABS, DIFF, etc., to the rotary encoders. The game simply doesn't recognize these controls on the steering wheel.

    And yet, I bought this particular steering wheel model precisely so that all the functions would finally be at my fingertips, and not on the keyboard. I couldn't find a solution to this problem online. It turns out that this is a widespread problem. I hope the developers will finally address this issue and realize that there are other direct drive steering wheels in the world besides Fanatec.

    A rotary encoder often have two modes, one where it acts as a simple +/- rotary switch, and another more advanced mode where each position represents a unique state. AMS2 only supports the first mode, so check how your rotaries are configured.
