Yes I agree - That's part of the problem - with Xbox X or PS5 - it's good for the next 4 or 5 years - with a PC it's £300 to upgrade graphics plus another £300 for upgrade of CPU then another £200 for upgrade of power unit and then you may need to upgrade motherboard (£250) plus more RAM then it's the SSD drive etc etc - it get's very pricy - whereas with Xbox or PS5 just stick it on ebay next time around - Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V2 will not work on PS5 if you have the Xbox version etc. The equipment I bought will work on all platforms. I made sure of that and confirmed it with Fanatec before purchase: the wheelbase is PS compatible (CSL Elite +) and my wheel is Xbox compatible (Clubsport Formula v2).

Monzie83 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 @1512marcel, When you get the time, would you be able to locate the Microsoft statement regarding peripheral support for me please? Have searched but not found it yet. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator 1512marcel Posted January 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2021 I looked it up yesterday. Actually it was a comment of one of the Xbox Ambassadors, not an actual employee of Microsoft, but like me kinda of a spokesman. I will post the link tomorrow. And to be honest, I guess he is more referring to third party and wheel manufacturers stating it’s to expensive to create a specific SDK for a “few” users.

Monzie83 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Interested to hear if anyone has reached out to Fanatec regarding the SDK and what the response was? My own efforts have proved unfruitful, both when talking to Fanatec support (expected) and on the Fanatec Forums (radio silence). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator 1512marcel Posted January 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just like I predicted. Thomas (Fanatec) is a master in walking away from his responsibilities. I have posted there aswell with no reaction whatsoever. Very dissapointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have posted there aswell with no reaction whatsoever. Very dissapointing. I think we move in the same circles @1512marcel! I can see you’ve responded to some of my posts. Did you reach out to Fanatec support? I must admit I find the lack of engagement from Fanatec on this topic very disappointing (and very telling) - increasingly, in this modern age, companies expertly use customer engagement as a means of retaining customer loyalty. As consumers, we are sensible and reasonable - if something is difficult, we will understand, and we do not expect miracles. But without insight into what the issues are, Fanatec do not allow us to take this position. I DO want to see a acknowledgement from Fanatec that this issue is important for their affected customers and that they want to, and will (at some point), be working towards a solution - not having it right now is fine, but the (apparent) non-existent appetite to resolve it is incomprehensible to me.
