News The Crew patch improves Thrustmaster wheel compatibility

On release, playing The Crew with a wheel left a lot to be desired, with issues including input lag and deadzone problems, to the force feedback cutting out at certain intervals. 

Since then, Thrustmaster have been working with Ivory Tower to resolve these issues. A patch update has since been released this week, which addresses the following Thrustmaster-related issues:

-Fix default “Steering Linearity” issue on T300 RS, T300 GTE, T500 RS & TX Racing Wheels

-General “Force Feedback Improvement” on T300 RS, T300 GTE, T500 RS & TX Racing Wheels

Furthermore, the patch also adds the following game changes:
