Xbox One Controller Rumble on 1.10 PC

[Xorag 0]

Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue after the latest major windows update where, when trigger rumble is enabled, i get zero vibration. This was working fine before  win10 v1809 and worked fine on F1 2017 as well. I've made sure the controller is registered in steam and i've tried with steam controller support enabled and disabled, without a difference. If i turn trigger rumble to auto i DO get regular vibration, however nothing i do seems to resolve this. Trigger rumble is working perfectly fine in Forza Horizon 4, however...

Same problem for me. I haven't changed anything but my vibration is gone. Yesterday it was fine but today it's gone. Trigger rumble = On -> no vibration at all. Triger rumble auto-> no rumble vibration just controller vibration.

Got exactly the same issue, no more vibration when enable in menu, get vibration when disabled but trigger vibration doesn't work in both case..
Was fine before...

and it's the same In F1 2017 and 2018, no trigger vibration

Same here, it was all working fine for me on Thursday night, did full quali and 100% race with no problems and now I can  only get the controller rumble with the 'AUTO' setting as above  which really hinders the feedback when on track.

I bet all the people posting here are using Steam to play F1 2018. I do and have the same issue since the latest Steam update, it can't be a coincidence. Please Codemaster, get in touch with Steam to check what they changed.

Here is part of the latest Steam update changelog. They did do changes regarding controllers...

Big Picture

• Fixed loading custom controller layouts from the Big Picture Mode “Define Layout” screen
  
• Fixed displaying numbers in the Family View PIN entry screen
  
• Fixed using controllers and keyboards on the Manage DLC screen
  
• Prevent exit of Big Picture Mode while games using its overlay for controller support, friends list integration, or other Steamworks API features are running
  

Steam Input

• Added the ability to switch controller order for XInput controllers in the in-game Big Picture overlay
  
• Fixed intermittent crash occurring when controllers are rapidly connected and disconnected
  
• Fix an issue with Generic Gamepads that have digital triggers where the trigger could get stuck on
  
• Fix an issue with Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers that could cause loss of input while rumbling
  
• Fix an issue where applying a configuration in the in-game overlay would open in the main Big Picture window instead of the overlay
  
• Fix an issue on Linux that could cause gamepad emulation to break when using Steam Input for generic gamepads
  
• Fix previewing configurations for non-Steam Games. Note - you will still not be able to apply the configuration unless you have a matching shortcut in your library.
  
• Fix some cases where inputs would be misaligned when previewing configurations
  
• Fix some 3rd party PS4 controllers showing up as having low batteries when connected over USB
  
• Fix an initialization issue with the Nintendo Switch Pro controller over USB

PS: I just had some messages exchanges with someone from Steam support, and they say the issue comes from the game, not from them. I still think it comes from Steam however.. I got this issue right away after the Steam update.

Same here. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

Hi Codemasters,

after reading a bit more on how trigger rumble works on Windows, I think this issue is due to the fact that the latest Steam version updated their Xinput and / or APIs.

Which makes me to think that one or more of the following F1 2018 files need to be updated, as no longer compatible with the updated Steam version:

- GFSDK_SSAO_D3D11.win64.dll

- steam_api64.dll

- Windows.Gaming.Input.dll

Best regards.

Hi @Hoo and @Faya , any update on this issue?

I am not a developper but I do think it is something pretty simple to fix, like 2-3 lines to change or a mapping to redo, to enable again the trigger rumble... It is maybe not the most critical issue players are facing now, but I can assure you that this trigger rumble feature is nearly vital for the players that are using a Xbox One Controller and play with assists off.

Many thanks.

Hi all and thanks for posting and for the tag. I’ll send this to the team for further investigation. In the mean time, it sounds like you’re all on Steam, correct? Have any of you tried validating your game files? (I know I ask that of everyone, but I like to be as thorough as possible). Are you all using Xbox pads? Could you also let me know if you’re using wired or not and which USB type port you are using? (2.0 or 3.0?). And finally, could you send me your DXDiags and Hardware setups as well? Make sure to link back to the this thread, letting me know who you are. Thanks!

Hi @Faya , I am on Steam yes. I did not try to validate the game files, I don't think it will solve the issue but I will try it anyway. I am using a Xbox One pad, wired via USB in a USB 3.0 port. I will send you my dxdiag and in-game settings file.

Please note that all worked well until the latest Steam update. Right after I had the update, the issue was there, and Steam changed things to controllers. It can't be a coincidence.

PS: I just tried to verify the game files in Steam, the issue is still here. I sent my Dxdiag and in-game hardware config files.

Many thanks for your support.

Hi @Faya, I have also sent through my dxdiag and in game settings files.

I am on Steam but I am using my Xbox pad via bluetooth connection with fresh batteries.

I like @Tarou11 only started having the problem after the Steam update so I hope that Codemasters and Steam can get this sorted as soon as possible.

Many Thanks :)

XBOX ONE CONTROLLER RUMBLE ON 1.10 PC

[WelcomeYearZero 0]

Guys, t his isn't our hardware, this isn't our dxdiag, this isn't corrupt files, this is something that either the new steam update has broken or YOU have broken, this is NOT on our end, i had a perfect working rumble triggers up until steam updated and f1 2018 updated, forza motorsports 7 with its superior programming works JUST FINE with trigger rumble.

AS AN OWNER OF F1 2015, F1 2016, F1 2017 and now F1 2018 despite the INSANE prices you charge for essentially a re-skin of your existing engine , I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE GAME IS SIMPLY UNPLAYABLE WITHOUT TRIGGER RUMBLE PROVIDING THE NECESSARY FEEDBACK FOR TRACTION LEVELS. PLEASE MAKE THIS A PRIORITY, MY 59.99 PER YEAR FOR NEW SKINS SHOULD PAY FOR SOMETHING.

Otherwise tell me how i refund this game.

Sincerely

VERY Pissed off customer who BARELY has time to play games as I have kids so quite PISSED when a SIMPLE function that was WORKING just fine suddenly BREAKS and the DEVELOPERS want to waste time with dxidag this and steam verify that. THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE GUYS, PLUG A F*CKING XBOX ONE CONTROLLER IN  WITH LATEST STEAM AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!!

Hi @Faya , FYI it affects also F1 2017 and some other games. It is clearly Valve's fault as there has been no update of eithter F1 2018 or F1 2017 between the October patch (1.10) of F1 2018 and Steam release (11/12 October), and it worked fine during this period.

Steam says it comes from the game but we are not stupid and they clearly broke something that impacts YOUR customers.

[LAPJENL70 0]

Rumble effect does not work for F1 2018 only. All other games I run from steam, like WRC7, Wreckfest or Project Cars 2 do have a proper working rumble effect on the Xbox one elite controller connected to USB. So I think it should be solved bij Codemasters. It is not a general Steam issue.

[Tarou11 0]

Nope people reported that GTAV and F1 2017, maybe also other games, had the same issue since the latest update. Also, Codemasters changed nothing between their october patch and the Steam update, and as soon as I got the Steam update, it did not work anymore.

Maybe Codemasters is responsible for part of this issue, like outdated file for input, where other games you mentioned have up-to-date files, but the issue itself has been caused by the latest Steam update.

[Xorag 0]

Just to echo the others, rumble does work fine in other games on steam, and validating game files did not resolve the issue.

[Tarou11 0]

C'mon Codemasters please :'( ... can't you release a hotfix for this issue, that seems really easy to solve? I think I can even say the issue lies in this file: Windows.Gaming.Input.dll without taking too much risk...

Easy to fix and great impact on gameplay.. If someone who has the PC Non Steam version of the game and can confirm the trigger rumble works, I could even be tempted to buy the game again on the official store to get this function back...

This issue was not there since latest patch from CM. The patch before the latest also gave me already issues with the rumble effect. After first time starting a session I had no rumble effect. After restarting the game sometimes the rumble effect worked. Since last patch it does not work at all anymore.

What I am sure is that for me, the patch 1.10 did not broke the trigger rumble as I played with it until I got the Steam update on the 12th october. Only since then I have no trigger rumble anymore, only standard vibrations.

I encountered what you describe yes, I had sometimes to switch all off and then on again to have rumble, but I did not really care as it was fixable by myself. But now like you said, it is not fixable at all whatever you try. If you set the Trigger rumble setting on Auto, you will get the standard vibrations, but no way to get the trigger rumble back...

1.12 patch did not resolve the issue either, hopefully if this gets acknowledged we'll see it in 1.13, unless the game has been abandoned for 2019 development already...

Thanks to everyone that sent through your information and for the information that you’ve gathered in this thread. The team is taking a further look at the moment.

I know that validating the game probably won’t be the thing to fix it, but it never hurts to try the easy to check things. Sending through the DXDiags and hardware specs also can help us tracking down if it only happens to certain set-ups or if it’s wider spread. The more info we have, the better! That being said, I think the team have all they need for the moment. If they need anything else, I will return. Thanks again!
