Logitech profiler

Just getting to know new g25 wheel - wonderful - but it has taken me about a week to discover that the only way to keep it working properly is to shut down the Logitech profiler. Have seen no mention of this - is it a common experience? (XP, mainly LFS and TDU) Lol

Opposite for me, without profiler, you cant separate the pedals, adjust the force feed back, yes there are a lot of "basic settings" you need to set for the g25 to work "normal" IMHO... the defaults are horrible. "Lol" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:gEwwm.99889$[email hidden]...

Mind you, I haven't tried the latest software. My version's probably a bit out of date. If it ain't broke, etc! Andrew McP

AGREED! I did try updating the Logitech software by downloading and running from the logitech product support. The result was one completely dead non-functioning wheel. Fortunately I had an Acronis backup - I've been using that a lot while getting this wheel working. Lol

AFAIK, the profiler is mainly for assigning buttons to special functions, but you can do that in-game usually. I never run the profiler and I have no problems with my G25.

thanks for the heads-up... I'll certainly stay away from the "update" then ;-) Uwe

Yet another example of a startup program doing nothing useful.

this is weird to me, my Vista 32 install wouldn't work with the wheel at 1st install (way back when0 unless I opened the profiler... so maybe it doesn't need it anymore? Thanks for the idea, Ill try making it not startup at least. But I do use profiles to change how far the wheel turns... 360 for some games, 900 for others... (speeds up steering response/correction time in some games for me, to make up for old age reflexes ;p "Uwe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ha1kls$lk6$[email hidden]...

Again, you can adjust the rotation in Control Panel > Game Controllers. No need for the profiler.

No need for the profiler.

When you shut the profiler down it gives a 'scary warning'- that any associated controllers will no longer work if you do this. I wonder why they care enough to use such tactics? Lol
