"Controller with force feedback detected. Disabling steering from other controllers"

I have a problem, this message appears in the game, and the game "lags" for a few seconds. (the message repeats every few seconds or maybe a minute)

"Controller with force feedback detected.
Disabling steering from other controllers "





And I have no other control associated with the steering wheel

I have looked for topics about this and I only see an old one, which does not solve anything, and a more recent one that has nothing to do with it, only the error message

The steering wheel is a Thrustmaster TMX

 

Same here! I posted in this other thread as well since these seem linked. Happens every minute or so for me. No other controllers connected. I do have a full VR setup (Index), Base Stations, etc. A bluetooth keyboard next to my rig and wireless mouse. I also noticed the mouse gives inputs when mapping controls - could it somehow be the mouse? Or the bluetooth keyboard connecting? I did test turning my bluetooth keyboard off though, and I still got the freezes.

I'm running Fanatec CSW2.5, CS inverted pedals, CS Shifter, CS Handbrake. I wouldn't say it makes the game unplayable, but when I'm crawling and the game pauses and loses connection to the wheel and pedals, I tend to fall down the mountainside!

If it helps - I'm running a 50ft USB extension to my simrig setup. Not sure if that somehow screws it up.
