Transmission problem / Constant High RPM

When I open the game, I can use it for about a minute before something goes wrong while driving. The transmission/engine on any car becomes shot. The RPMs go through the roof and the max speed of the car is about 30 mph. I try every type of transmission mode, they all do the same thing. On manual clutch assist, the gears shift, but the rpms still rev at max. This is really annoying and I'm not sure what the problem is. Using Logitech G29.

 

Are you using a high HP engine mod? If so, the clutch is most likely slipping.

 

Thanks for the reply. Nope, not using any game altering mods. Only mods I've got installed are a map and one car. The problem still happens with any map and any car.

 

Ok. And you said you're using a Logitech G29 which uses 3 pedals - Is your clutch pedal properly calibrated? (Depress the pedal all the way down and back up again) Other than this, I really can't think of anything else (maybe the devs can comment).

 

Thanks for the prompt help! I am using the G29, and the clutch is properly calibrated, but I can retry. The odd part is that it doesn't happen immediately, and is inconsistent. I'll see if I can sort any calibration issues out. Thanks for the help.

 

When did the problem start??

 

I have no clue then, bud. If you want, you can send a support ticket.

 

Sure you havent just damaged the car?

 

Positive. After I reset, multiple times, it still does that. I need to close and reopen the game to fix the problem temporarily.

 

I have the same problem as OP. I tried a complete clean reinstall but the problem still persists. I was able to drive a manual car normally in "Arcade" shifting mode but after I mapped the gears to my Driving Force Shifter and using "Manual" shifting mode, the problem occurs. Also the Arcade shifting mode stops working after mapping my gears to Driving Force Shifter (it wont change higher than 1st gear in Arcade mode).

 

What about the high RPM issue? I remember being able to drive normally fully manual mode with my G29 and shifter but then some update screwed it up. Unfortunately I am unable to pin point it to a specific update since I don't play very often.

 

I noticed that the clutch stays only at 50% all the time, could that be the problem? I couldn't get it to make full travel by changing the settings.

 

I had the latest drivers and combined pedals ticked off. But luckily I was able to fix this problem by going to Game Controllers -> G29's Properties -> Settings tab -> Button "Reset to default" in Windows. This made the clutch fully functional again. Thank you for your help.
