* Added note *

(Try the alternate method below 1st) If you now have a huge wheel deadzone after this patch. I suggest that you go to your game settings, change the controller to your keyboard, then re-select your wheel. You will lose previous custom settings, so now you will have to remap any buttons/keys to get your custom settings back.

This could fix your new deadzone issue if you did get one. It fixed it for me (+/- 45 degree deadzone post patch (G27)), where I had no problem pre-patch

** Another alternate fix method is mentioned in @Xero 's post below - click here

There is, but it's cumbersome. Always, after starting the game, go to wheel settings and re-assign Steering axis. At least for me, it has to be done always w/ this latest patch and my custom G27. Got the tip from @Graham Laing.

No, the tip came from @Xero above

When will the next patch PS4 for?

All they generally say is ..... "as soon as possible and we've not forgotten about you".

I think they tend to do a few quick PC patches to get the feedback. If they are on the right path they'll merge them in to one patch for the consoles.

This is because the patches have to be verified by Microsoft and Sony. This takes time and money, so they like to get the game to an overall better state before committing to the console parches.

Stop the presses ...........

There was an XBox One patch yesterday.

The update will be automatic on the XBox One

I also missed the PS4 Patch One which was on July 22nd ..... whoops!

Any new fixes for the deadzone in wheels ? i have a Fanatec V2 , i tried everything that is out there so far nothing .

 

[enzocarbone]

How long do we have to wait for the deadzone fix?
I'm very disappointed.

 

[Graham Laing]

Sorry guys my best guess for the next patch release is that it will be this long :-

Looking forward to the next patch, so far this game has been impossible to play for me, with really low FPS (triple screens), blurry picture and now the CSWv2 deadzone..
Hopefully this next patch will resolve these issues... on a positive note once the game is actually playable then its another game to add to the list of 'evening entertainment'..

Come on Codies... lets get this thing working so we can actually see if its any good or not!

My guess is, that CM will have this game fixed to a level as good as we are going to get by some time in October (Their usual release window). By that time, we the customer should be done beta testing.

Sounds about right, and not a discount in sight for us beta testers
