Troubleshooting - Automobilista 2

What I'm asking for is to improve the game's quality of life. I'm not asking for cars, I'm not asking for tracks, I'm asking for a game that works without problems.

Please fix the peripheral detection. It's not possible that if, for example, a USB port is moved, the game no longer recognizes a steering wheel or a button box.

In my case, I updated my PC by changing the motherboard and processor, I formatted it, and now it doesn't recognize the steering wheel base. The game doesn't communicate at all. It seems, with RaceHub, the Asetek base software. Instead of correctly detecting the RX+ and RX- axes, it detects left thumbstick:left, right thumbstick:right.

Needless to say, the game and wheelbase are set up correctly, I've reinstalled AMS2 and RaceHub several times, I've completely reassigned the controls, deleted the documents folder, and I've even formatted it to no avail.

My Asetek Forte base works fantastically on any sim, except AMS2. Honestly, with all the sims out there, it wouldn't be a big problem to give up on Automobilista 2, but I've been following it since day one and I've always bought the DLCs on day one and I intend to sign up for the paddock as soon as registrations open, I'm really sorry I can't play it.

 

I know it's frustrating to have game-controls changing status based on USB-port positions but, I have had similar issues with other titles as well. I'm at the point where I actually map all of my USB-device connections so I can reconnect everything the exact same way, every time. This generally avoids having to re-assign controls however, sometimes I may have to reload the saved control profile in AMS2.

Another useful tip is using USB-hubs with individual port on/off buttons, not only to avoid potential issues but, also for troubleshooting connection issues. The back of my PC is difficult to access without moving my very heavy race-rig, so having some work-a-rounds to simplify such things makes a big difference.
