Losing FFB between sessions

[bruno_f400]

Guys, I'm having a very annoying issue with my Thrustmaster T500RS. I've played LMU without this issue since the game was launched, but this past weekend, I decided to format my PC and reinstall every software, LMU included obviously.

But since this formatting, I started to have this annoying issue, where my FFB simply disappear between sessions. I've already have the "Reset FFB" button set, but this is ineffective to solve the problem. The only solution I managed to see working is, in the middle of the session, to turn the power cord of the wheel off and plug it in again, and then press the "Reset FFB" button... But, if this issue happens between qualy and race, I get my race ruined, because this process makes me drive slow and I just finished a race where I got a drivethru for driving to slow, when I realized I had lose FFB and did the procedure while the grid was already going to the racing start....

If anybody knows how to solve this, I'll be much appreciated!!!

Cheers,
Bruno Fabiano

Do you have +trace enabled? You can also enable +logextra and it will give more information. It should give info about the wheel.
What happens when you press the reset ffb button the first time? Just nothing?

Coutie,
when the game loses ffb, nothing happens when I hit the FFB Reset Button... The only way to recover the ffb is that one I already described... Basically, turn off the power to the wheel and turn on right after... But, depending on which session I'm, this can have disastrous effect...

Where can I enable these "+ trace" and "+logextra" options???

Add them to the Launch Options input field in the General tab of the Steam Properties for the game.
Space separated, without the space between + and trace:

+trace +logextra

IIRC you can increase the trace verbosity by setting a level between 0(disabled) and 3(very verbose) like so:

+trace=3 +logextra
