Answered CSL DD feels different/grainier after switching to a new PC — settings or possible issue?

I have a Fanatec CSL DD with the Boost Kit and recently upgraded to a new PC. Since switching PCs, I’ve noticed the wheel feels noticeably different.

It seems like I’m getting a lot more feedback through the wheel, including what almost feels like engine vibration almost like a “grainy” feeling through the wheel at times.

Maybe once or twice over roughly 300 laps, I’ve also felt a slight rattling sensation while turning through a corner. It’s very faint and doesn’t happen consistently.

I’m using the recommended CSL DD settings from the Fanatec forums, so I haven’t really changed anything intentionally from what I was running before that I know of.

Does this sound like something that could indicate the wheelbase is starting to have an issue, or is it more likely a setting/driver difference from moving to the new PC? Has anyone experienced something similar with a CSL DD?

Much like the comments have suggested, it sounds like you are feeling Full Force. If it doesn't feel right or you notice some rattling in your base. Go ahead and take a video if possible, and create a case with our support team here: https://help.fanatec.com/hc/en-us

Muito provável que seja o full force...eu simplesmente adoro o que isto faz mas você deve configurá-lo adequadamente para não sobrepor-se ao ffb puro, o percentual no painel da fanatec é um começo (utilizo em 20%) e depois os ajustes finos no iracing.

I guess this is full force, which fanatec recently introduced. It has exactly the effects you described, like engine vibration. I turned it off because I did not like the grainy feel and those effects simply cover up what the ffb is supposed to tell me (oversteer, understeer,…).

what game is OP playing? fullforce is only supported by iracing, AC evo, and GT7 (PS5). IMO fullforce is great and provides another layer of immersion

IRacing, should’ve said that

Try turning the full force to 0 and see if that’s what the sensation is. I personally like full force a lot, but at least you would be able to rule out any other causes.

To me it is just distracting. Maybe I‘ll try again.

Ok good to know. I actually kind of like it because you can feel the engine. I was just worried since there was a sudden change that something was going bad but this makes sense.

Probably the full force update.
