First of all, it's not R3E related (having the same issue in AC as well), but I thought to post it here hoping that someone may have a solution.
The issue I'm having is that I can feel bumps, kerbs, grass, but lock-ups, loss of grip are non-existent. I have no understanding of what the tires are doing. It's like the FFB cuts out when cornering. Only thing I feel is a constant centering force in the wheel. (Btw, FFB is enabled in game.)
What's even more frustrating is that I cannot find a cause: G HUB didn't update, Windows didn't update, I did nothing to upset the G29's routine (so to speak).
Tried unplugging/plugging the wheel, making adjustments in G HUB, rebooting, power cycle, G HUB uninstall/install, driver uninstall/install, nothing worked.
I'm very curious if someone else has or had this issue. And what else I can try to solve it.

Can try using LGS, the previous software. Theres a topic on the forum with additional instructions

Tried LGS, not much of a difference: bumps, kerbs feel as normal, but I'm still disconnected to what the tires are doing. Found the forum thread, did as you said, but no improvement.

#

I'm starting to think that something internal in the wheel is malfunctioning. And that may be the root of the problem.

T4 @ Interlagos, Elantra TCR (this is the car I use to test, as I can tell when a FWD car doesen't fell right to drive.)

#

No clipping issues. Green line gets near the red one during cornering, but I still can't fell the fronts.

#

Also, I didn't messed with the in-game FFB settings. They are the same as always.

I know this is a really strange issue, but I want to figure it out. Here is another thing: when I hold the wheel at 360 degrees, G HUB is showing a slightly different number. At this is constant both left and right - a difference in degrees between my input and what is shown. Can it be that something internal is malfunctioning? Maybe the optical encoder?

Don't know if it's useful or no. I hope it will help you.

It is also possible that the magnet could be weak and that the n...

@sterile gull you mentioned that you didn't mess with the in game settings. Go there you gonna find a FFB Linearity option. With your wheel it should be on 70% by default. Bump it to 85-90% and check how this feels.

@muted snow Nope, didn't fix it.

#

I think I need to have a look at the hall effect sensor.

Yeah maybe is something in wheel itself
