ForceTest problems

Post by kh3naz » Tue Apr 24, 2012 12:47 am

Hi ,

I need some help with a problem i have tried to debunk for the past couple of days and it's driving me insane

I was able to use the Forcetest.exe to test the force feedback of my racing wheels , everything was working fine , then one day i formatted my pc , reinstalled everything but then i started to get errors , Forcetest stopped working

Enumerated Joystick : Porsche Wheel
Supported Effects :
- Constant
- Ramp Force
- Square Wave
- Sine Wave

It works on my Laptop , however i have tried installing a second windows for test purpose and it doesnt work on a clean install .

What am i missing , i have tried installing DirectX , microsoft visual c++ 2008 , 2011 , net framework , i have tried uninstalling all the programs on my laptop one by one until i removed everything and it still worked , i don't understand why it doesn't work on a clean install ,

please let me know if you can help me figure this out !!

Do you have the proper drivers installed for your wheel? What version of Windows are you using?

What's your overall objective here? Are you using your racing wheels with FS Force, or with some other software/games? Are they not working? Regardless, I can't think of any reason why they would not be working on your new OS install. Sorry. :(

My objectives are to simply have a handy prog to test Force Feedback on my devices , Forcetest.exe is the only one i found on the entire web , it worked well , it was perfect

Thanks anyways , i guess i have some more debunking to do !
