I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm playing NFSHP2 with an Act Labs Force RS steering wheel and pedal combo. During the game I'll be racing and everything is fine then I get bumped and the steering goes crazy, I have no control over the throttle (it seems to default to fully opened) and I cannot steer. If I pause the game, unplug the power from the steering wheel and plug it back in, I regain control and am able to drive again. Needless to say this isn't a fix I want to have to live with. Has anyone seen similar issues and if so is there any kind of fix. I'm loving the game, I'm not loving the headaches. I'm running Windows XP Professional, DirectX 9, with the latest Force RS drivers (2.52 I think)

I'm running the Force RS with pedals using v2.5 driver on a WinXP Home machine, DirectX 8.1. No problems on this or variety of other racing/rally games with the wheel. I also had NFSHP2 running well on a Win98 machine with the wheel/pedals using original drivers (c1998). The problem begins when you get bumped ? What happens if you bump an opponent ? What if you alone run into a wall ? Before you unplug the wheel, can you get to the control panel\game controllers\act-labs Force RS\properties and see if the pedals and wheel still affect the indicators ? What settings are you using ? From the control panel... I turned off operate pedals separately and all the gains are set at 100% except spring (at 13%). From the game, aside from customizing buttons, I left force feedback settings and deadband at the default 100% and 0% respectively. Try tech support at http://www.actlab.com. Good luck. Let me know if there's anything else I can check on my system for you. Bill
