Microsoft Steering Wheel

I was playing Forza 3 fine all weekend and suddenly this evening my wheel seems to be playing up!! It's as if it's mis-reading my inputs and being very, very jerky. Also the feedback appears to be sticking and kicking against itself!?!?

I'm not sure how to describe it, but it definitely doesn't feel right!

Has anyone else experienced any problems like this?

Re: Microsoft Steering Wheel

have you got a mobile phone or wireless router near by? Either of these can mess with the wi-fi connectivity between the wheel and the 360.

I've had my wheel "pause" a game once and bring up the dashboard - didn't help that it was a MP game and i was in the lead at the time

still came second though

Re: Microsoft Steering Wheel

Both but they've never interfered before. Also it feels like it's the actual wheel that's problematic, very light around the centre then hits the resistance and bounces between the resistance point on either side...

Put it this way, Sunday I was winning races, Monday I could barely keep the car in a straight line!?!?
