• Wheel Base Firmware update.

Known Issues

• BME FW update temporarily disabled, will get fixed soon for the next driver release.
• MPS Pulse not working correctly, will get fixed soon for the next driver release.
• When entering a game menu while driving it can happen in some games that the FFB effect doesn't get canceled which results in the wheel turning to one side. (this got now fixed for the
• Podium DD but can still happen on the CSL DD. We will now apply the fix for the CSL DD as well)
• Natural friction can start to feel weird after some time of driving. In case you experience issues with NFR, we suggest to turn it OFF for now. (this got now fixed for the Podium DD but can still happen on the CSL DD. We will now apply the fix for the CSL DD as well)
• The steering input jump issue was greatly improved so the issue happens a lot less than before.
• Full fix expected for one of the next versions.
