    Thanks @steviejay69, with devs.

    EDIT: Are there any other errors being seen here? Can I get confirmation on your reproduction steps? Could you try to do this again from a fresh boot, but getting hold of the report code before entering TT mode? This is visible at the bottom of the screen when entering the options menu and choosing “Settings”.

    Sorry Barry, haven't played since services were up. We could do with a debug option to show the report code or if they're so mission critical they could do to be displayed on-screen (maybe with an adjustable opacity or on/off toggle). People are trying to replicate, although they may not get the code first time they will on subsequent attempts by enabling this.

    I use the FPS limiter in the game settings. set 60 on first start

    That's not what I asked. Try enabling the Steam FPS counter to check (or play Benchmark mode and enable the in-game frame counter option).

    My pc clean, new cooler, thermal grease, new geforce 2060s with three coolers

    version 2019 works on ultra without problems, crashes or overheating, I tried turning it on today

    version 2020 in 20-30 minutes turns off my pc. I know 3 more of the same cases. overheating of the processor or power supply (this is inexplicable)

    Cap the framerate - but the framerates go insane in the menus, GPU utilisation and temps start to max out.

    IF it wasn't for the mid-session save option, it'd be totally unplayable, but every 3-4 laps I save it now, so I can at least complete a race, even if it crashes 5 times.

    Problem Is because I do 100% distance, and seek for ultra realism, I can sometimes drift off especially when I'm in a rhythm and putting some consistent lap times in, upon which I forget to save, and that's when it's most frustrating, crashing after a good consistent few laps of a 100% distance race.

    Have you considered experimenting with framerate capping? Do you use any monitoring software (e.g. MSI Afterburner)?

    I normally would recommend not using those utilities without attempting to rule them out but I experienced the crashing without them installed. They're installed on the Nvidia test build (which I'm just installing to).

    Again asmedia and usb ports, something else i been to hell and back with, what with the Rift and it's pure hate for most usb controllers. It's a NZXT case so I would only assume the quality is above average of that from a non branded off the shelf case. Armoury crate, not sure even what that is, something to do with asus? I don't have it installed as far as I'm aware.

    Ref back to the usb ports, I bought a usb dedicated pci card because of the rift issues, which didn't help, ended up working on a old port which apparently doesn't have enough power to run VR, irony huh lol.  Also nothing is plugged into the red ports directly on the motherboard, so that's ruled out at least.

    The safest option is to turn off the ASMedia controller then if you can in the UEFI. It will still load a driver if you can't (I tend to prefer the Microsoft driver rather than any vendor issued releases).

    Yeah Armoury Crate is a motherboard utility that all the ASUS RGB stuff runs off. Most vendor stuff like this is poorly written then eventually gets abandoned.

    Thanks for the reply guys, the G29 has always been connected to the same usb port, as it's the front usb port, I don't think I could stretch the cable to get round to the back of the computer. As for motherboard, that's a whole story within itself as an early adopter of the platform (Asus ROG Strix X470-F Gaming) was plagued with so many problems, that I finally have it running stable and good now. As for voicemeter, easily remove this no longer stream at the current time anyway, xbox controller, same I shall remove this also. As for rolling back the GPU driver, I infact only updated to the newest driver because I was getting crashes, so not sure what driver was before this current one, but it crashes on both of the drivers still.

    It's so frustrating, because I must have over 100 games installed, across various hd/ssd, basic games from lemmings classic right up to HEAVILY MODIFIED GTA 5 and heavily modified assetto corsa, and I have not had a crash or back to desktop situation in well over a year now, infact last crash I remember was F1 2019, and now F1 2020. There must be something within the game conflicting regularly with something which is popular on peoples computers. 

    The motherboard is running the latest UEFI BIOS so that's good with me.

    Armoury Crate is also something that should be removed if you have it running (again you can reintroduce later once you have some stability).

    Also I'm a bit wary of the ASMedia USB controllers (they are the two red ports at the back panel and should be given low priority when connecting devices). Provided you are not using the USB 3.1 next gen front panel connector (it's best if the front panel is using legacy USB_12 and USB_34 connector internally), just be aware that depending on case build quality the front panel ports can be subject to poor soldering, unshielded wires susceptible to EMI, etc.

    I understand your frustrations.


  7. I've looked at your dxdiag.

    Obviously I'm not going to ignore the reported crashing in DX12 but if you can't get DX11 working then there may be something else.

    If you post your motherboard make and model I can suggest some updates.

    If you can disconnect the XBox controller and Rift for troubleshooting that might be helpful. I would recommend uninstalling Voicemeeter for now also (you can reintroduce it later, the only step I recommend is to set the Sound|Communications option to 'Do nothing') 👍

    Also the G29 should be connected directly to the motherboard USB 2.0. There are plenty of USB RGB devices here, it might be a divide and conquer. If you can update your keyboard and mouse software (install any firmware) then remove the driver software (RGB effects, hotkeys, etc.) Use Geek Uninstaller.

    I would also recommend 446.14 and use DDU.

    Don't use GFE to 'optimise' F1 2020.

    Post back and I will continue to look for things to try.

    Yes @BarryBL I have changed the settings and put the fan to always on. At the lower setting I do not loose FFB anymore however ive only tried these settings for an hour or so of game play. Its not particularly enjoyable to drive with the FFB at 75 but that's only my opinion. I agree with @Worntoathread that its a thrustmaster issue rather than an issue with the game as I also get FFB fade with GT sport. I'd expect better from a £300 to £400 wheel. Nevertheless the original issue seems to have been solved, thanks for your help.

    The Thrustmaster wheelbase is a step up from the Logitech (having owned G27/G920 and T300) but I can recommend Fanatec over Thrustmaster. However, the Logitech is unassailable for reliability and value. It's not the most faithful wheel in the F1 series, it was better in F1 2014 and earlier, if you can get those games try them (bear in mind the G29/G920 were released in 2015 and won't be listed as a controller but the G25/G27 will be).

    Thrustmasters can be okay if respected (use the reduced feedback setting of 75% in the driver for FFB strength and run 100% in-game is what I did) I'm not sure if you would get a better feel running at 100% in driver and 75% in-game? Bear in mind that the logic of that is that you need to reduce the overall FFB strength in EVERY GAME if you go this way around. Always-on fan is recommended, make sure the fan is cleaned if it gets slightly noisy, check the belt tensioner is still okay whilst you are in there. If you don't abuse it, the service can be long. Can't comment on the T500/TS-PC/TS-XW/T-GT but by then you're in Fanatec money easily.

    For reference I have the CSL Elite v1.1 wheelbase, it's the entry level Fanatec. It doesn't have full tuning support in Fanalabs but the menu can be used via the OLED on the wheel rim. I have the F1 2020 LE wheel which is a variant of the Formula v2 with nice forged carbon. I am sure the entry level Formula wheel or the F1 Esports wheel would be just as nice to use. 

    I use the CSPv1 pedals which were second hand and have intermittent issues with the Hall sensors but I am still working with them. I may decide to get the CSL Elite LC at some point as I only really play F1 and miss (comfortable) left foot braking.

    I have the latest GHub as for motherboard changes i'm not comfortable with that to be honest. Not sure why i would need to do it anyway, i've never had to before to get a steering wheel to work as intended and i haven't for other games on this PC.

    It says on the F1 game website that the G29 is supported on PC, or have i misunderstood what you have mean?

    Yeah, OK that's up to you. the F50 update is an AGESA update; this ensures maximum compatibility between B450 and your (new) Ryzen 5 3600. It can also optimise core usage, thermal management, memory compatibility, etc. For me it's a no brainer.

    Also, yes you misunderstand what I mean. G29 is supported on PC but LGS 9.xx is abandonware like the older 5.10.

    So, going forward GHub is the required driver / software interface or the wheel will be detected in W10 as a PS4 controller.

    Can you just check the Steam setting configuration?

    Quote

     

    Follow these steps to potentially solve the problem:

    1. Open the Steam application
    2. Select "View"
    3. Select "Settings"
    4. Select "Controller"
    5. In "General Controller Settings", uncheck the checkbox for "Generic Gamepad Configuration Support".

    If the issue persists, reinstall the Steam Client.

    @steviejay69 @BarryBL 

    So another day and the issue has arose again. Turned the game on this morning and again no resistance and my button configuration was all wrong. (Clutch pedal was accelerate and the Brake pedal was look back!?) Just to note FFB is always there, it's just that there is no resistance in the wheel, it's like the self centring spring is off. (Each time i make sure it is enabled in GHub)

    So, i unstalled GHub as i did yesterday, but i thought i would try the game without GHub, i had FFB and resistance but i couldn't alter the steering rotation from 900 degrees. I shut down the PC and restarted to see if the same happened again, but this time the game didn't recognise my G29.

    Next i reinstalled GHub as Stevie recommended i do, and the game works again as it should, FFB, resistance and everything else. So i thought i would try replicating me shutting down the PC for the night, so i shut down, unplug the PC and left it for a time. Fired it back up and loaded GHub as i did before, then i loaded F1 2020 and the issue was back. So that is No resistance and my pedal config needed changing again. (When everything is working, the pedals are recognised as the accelerator and brake as a little pedal symbol and the clutch as the 0 button. But then it isn't, it recognises the throttle as the -Z axis and the brake and clutch as the pedal symbols)#

    I next unistalled GHub again, and then reinstalled it and everything was fine again and the buttons/pedals were configured correctly.

    So it seems i have to uninstall and reinstall GHub everytime i shut down the computer if i want to play F1 2020. The F1 game is also the only game that i have this issue with, my other games all behave as they should with or without GHub, but i GHub for F1 so i can make the steering rotation adjustments.

    If there is any advice, recommendations or other steps you'd like me to try i'd greatly appreciate it, but to me it seems as though there is some compatibility issues between the G29 and the game. (Which is a shame as i love what i've sampled so far)

    Thanks

     

    F50 BIOS for your motherboard. 

    Latest GHub

    I've opened a support ticket with Logitech to see why they do not appear to respond or monitor to any community support requests about the G series wheels despite transitioning support to GHub for G29/G920.

    G25/G27/DFGT/Driving Force Pro users should continue to use the Logitech Gaming Software 5.10 (abandonware - development has ceased).

    All other Logitech wheels are NOT supported in F1 2020.

    Console support is just G29/G920 as per platform (PS4/XB1).

    Right send me a message if there is any problems

    You report bugs for community assistance and awareness. @BarryBL is the dev liaison. If you don't provide sufficient information, he can't expect the devs to respond because he needs to recreate the scenario so they can find out the issue. This is not the work of a moment, your problem is not the ONLY issue they are dealing with. You do not get an individual response.

    So, to retain focus and keep the whole process as efficient as possible you must try to work with him. This is a requirement. 

    The moderators need to keep the forum focussed so reports that do not contain the correct information will be deleted. The solutions to problems are being marked where possible or indicated that they are planned for future action (until the patch support cycle is ended).

    I think I can, but if it's the same problem as F1 2019 it should be DX12 related. On the previous game it was pretty random. During the race it used to crash on a random lap or it caused graphic glitchs (purple shiny tyres - flashing sky and clouds and something like that) or it let me finish the race doing a black screen after the podium and not saving the progress.

    Without being pre-emptive, there are reports of DX11 working OK. Crashes mainly affecting Nvidia cards but also AMD so it points to not being a driver issue (2004 versus new 451.xx driver issues aside). I'd like the devs to refer to whatever they might have done to resolve the DX12 lighting bugs in F1 2019 because I could replicate that on a particular track in TT (Bahrain). 

    BIB - it is disappointing to see this game suffer some issues that were present in earlier iterations. Is it really worth throwing out the baby with the bathwater with each new game? Nvidia cards affected again - it's so unpleasant to try to play this game on that hardware but if I get the chance I will test drivers to better understand the issues for our Green brethren.

    Update 3. Had to reinstall GHub, now all seems to work as intended, i can switch between games with no issues after adjusting the steering rotation in GHub.

    So to anyone else with the issue, try the process Steviejay69 suggested, as this worked for me.

    Thanks for sticking with it. Some are blinkered and just want nothing to change ever. Kudos to you for persevering.

    Can't you do like in F1 2018 and Fix It?

    Thanks.

    I had misgivings that they were even doing this at the time. It was TWO YEARS AGO. It was old then, it's ancient now.

    So, for your statistically irrelevant PC and for someone who did not check the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS or meet the MINIMUM SPECIFICATION you want the devs to rewrite code that potentially slows EVERYONE ELSES game down?

    No, they will not fix it and no you should not be asking. Be as offended as you like. Being polite does not excuse you from not checking what you are buying, sorry.


  16. Move it all to GD let it rumble on there. 

    I think the overriding thing is, that although last year was far from perfect (think cut pens at Start / Finish or under (V)SC) and some corners could still be butchered it's somehow worse.

    I'm happy to play on Strict even though I know it's harsh. Anyone who can't control the car is driving too far beyond the limit.

    Did you not see the images I posted? Did you not watch Austria last weekend? In real life each F1 driver would get their quali laps invalidated if it was as strict as the game

    It's a bit open to interpretation. There's no way the game will be right if the Stewards don't follow the regulations. Because, clearly they are using judgement to let things go.

    Just opens a can of worms. Rules is rules, guv. 

    If the game was relaxed on strict, what next? Relax strict at other tracks? When someone butchers a corner and does eventually get flagged they will cry foul. If there is a line to be drawn anywhere the white line seems as good as any (arbitrary one).


  18. I hear you but I was in TT at Austria and I was flagged for track limits several times between T9 and T10 also the exit kerbs at T10 that I thought were unwarranted. There's no option in TT, strict track limits are used. But you can ride the kerb between T6 and T7 to the same extent and not be flagged.

    I think it's an input issue because Win10 is different there. When Win10 came out we had the same issue on Cryengine in our small Indie Studio. Our programmer was on Win10, me on Win7 and on my PC the XBox Controller didn't work at first. Maybe it's the same issue. BUT: It was fixed by our programmer in 5 minutes. So don't give me that **** that it's not fixable.

    If codemasters has no interest in fixing it, ok... but then I get my money back. There was no "Win10 only" written on Amazon when I pre-ordered the game.
    And no, I will not upgrade to a ****** OS like Win10. Never ever! 90% of the programms I need are not working on Win10, I have no controll over updates and it slows down my PC.

    It is in the game minimum requirements. It's not ****, it's W7 is an unsupported OS. You need to not rage about it and realise that for things to work, you are going to have to use it. Or, as you point out, not play.

    I also thought so, but saw no posts on internet anyone else got this problem. So maybe it was just me and maybe need to re-install the game. But now I'll wait till the online services are back and running again. Thanks for your reply!

    They are up again for me this morning, but I am on PC not PS4 (they were on / off working last night, but TT mode is crashing - posted a report along with others). Either that or there really is an intermittent connectivity bug.
