Some people on Fanatec forum reporting DD Pro shutting down after GT7 patch 1.71🤦‍♂️

@RS60NR:
Tested around a lot with your advise and that's the result.

GT7 Settings:
Vibration = 60
Max Torque = 5
Sen = 2

DD Pro Settings:
SEN=600 (for GT3 cars - AUTO for others)
FFB=100
FUL=23
NDP=20
NFR=2
NIN=off
INT=4
FEI=100
FOR=100
SPR=100
DPR=100

Still not really happy and it's little grainy/clunky here and there, but it's ok and better than before. If I klick up the max torque to 6 or 7 and lower the FOR to 90 or 80 it is better with the graininess but the overall torque is too weak then 🫣 next time I'll try to regulate it with the FFB value maybe I can find the sweetspot.

@peniu: yep, I've had the reported Problems three times while testing the wheelsettings. Everytime it happened I've had higher values in max torque (6, 7 and 8) and FUL Values above 30 together with FOR 100. a restart of the base and turn down the values did the trick. I can drive for hours with the above mentioned settings so far. Hope they'll bring an update soon (game or FW). Maybe the FUL signal overrides the base and is the reason for the mentioned graininess/clunkyness of the DDPro 🤔

Mine is cooked. Waiting to hear from them (here we go...) sent crash logs and such. Flashing blue light of death and I'm exactly one month out of warranty. Can't wait to see what comes of this.

Did you update the firmware to the fullforce version before this happnened? Still holding off updating mine.

I was trying. I wiped everything (drivers and anything fanatec on my PC) and even tried the legacy driver for when things are really borked. All I get is a left turn in game. The wheelbase firmware hangs and loops every time I try and fix it.

Edit to add, I'm pretty much a luddite though so I'm just following the instructions I've found online and don't really know what I'm doing so I could be doing it wrong. I usually can follow directions well for this kind of thing though and don't usually find myself in trouble.

DD Pro Base firmware is now 1.9.1.1.

Have gone ahead and updated everything so hope it works!
I thought I’d updated yesterday (for GT7) and was underwhelmed by full force, only to discover this morning the wheelbase wasn’t actually up to date even though fanatec app said it was, and also said it was up to date but it wasn’t 🙄.
Looking forward to trying it properly now…

Updated my dd pro to latest firmware and now I am experiencing constants disconnects.

If your wheel is functioning on the older firmware, my advice is to leave it as is. There is nothing special about full force.

That's me staying on 455 for the foreseeable then. They really need to get their **** together, then again they've needed to do that for a while when it comes to firmware updates.
I mainly play on PC these days so if my DD Pro ever dies I'll be going elsewhere for a replacement. The wheelbase is the only Fanatec product I still use as I've got a Leoxz wheel and Simnet pedals.

I was playing just now with latest firmware 1.9.1.1 and it was fine until I increased the sensitivity (in game) from 2 to 5, disconnected almost immediately after (max torque on 4, FFB on 100). Rebooted, lowered it back and it was fine again. Tried lowering FFB to 80 and it was then ok with higher sensitivity. I don’t know what to conclude from that but hopefully someone with greater knowledge of the hardware will be able to draw some conclusions.
