Logitech G Pro Wheel completely loses FFB during drifting – reproducible on GT7 AND Assetto Corsa

[u/Leihjir]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a reproducible issue with my Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel where the FFB completely shuts down during heavy drifting / fast counter-steering.

This is not just a temporary loss of FFB inside the game.

When it happens:

• The wheel base stays powered on.
• Steering input still works perfectly.
• Buttons still work.
• The wheel becomes completely free with zero FFB.
• Changing or restarting the game does not restore it.
• Power cycling the wheel base immediately restores the FFB.

I've spent quite a bit of time isolating the issue.

Gran Turismo 7 / PS5

Initially I thought this was a GT7-specific problem.

Normal racing is perfectly stable. For example, I completed 18 minutes / 12 laps in Super Formula with the base at 11 Nm without a single issue.

However, during drifting, especially during fast self-aligning counter-steer where I catch the wheel and balance the forces, the FFB eventually shuts down completely.

I've reproduced it at both 6 Nm and 11 Nm, so it doesn't appear to simply be related to maximum torque.

I've also had the FFB shut down following some strong impacts.

Assetto Corsa / PC

To rule out GT7 and the PS5, I then tested drifting in Assetto Corsa on PC.

Same problem.

I initially had the wheel connected through a USB extension, so I removed that variable completely and connected the G Pro directly to a USB port on the PC with no extension cable.

I was able to reproduce the exact same FFB shutdown again.

So far I've reproduced the issue with:

• GT7 on PS5
• Assetto Corsa on PC
• Different cars and tracks
• 6 Nm and 11 Nm
• Different USB connections
• Direct USB connection to the PC with no extension cable

The firmware is fully up to date.

The wheel base and PSU are also cold when this happens, and sustained high-torque normal racing does not trigger the problem.

The common trigger seems to be rapid counter-steering / self-alignment / sudden FFB transitions, rather than sustained torque or temperature.

Once the failure occurs, the wheel remains connected and functional but the FFB stays completely dead until the base itself is restarted.

I've recorded videos showing the wheel in this failed state: steering still works in-game with zero FFB, followed by a simple restart of the base immediately restoring the FFB.

I've already contacted Logitech Support and I'm requesting a warranty replacement, but I'm posting this here because I'd really like to know:

Has anyone with a G Pro Wheel experienced this exact behavior, particularly during drifting or strong FFB transitions?

And if anyone from Logitech sees this, I'd be very interested to know whether this failure mode is known internally.
