G27 - Wheel Buttons partially not working (ANSWERED)

[tenchu2x]

Hello ,

i just purchased the newest chronus and i have a G27 which i use with Dirt rally. so far so good. the wheel works fine, also the padels but on the wheel itself there are 6 buttons only the upper 2 of these are recognized by the game. the other 4 not. when i go to the optins menu in the controller section i could manually setup button layout. but when it prompts me to press one of those 4 buttons for a certain function my input is not recognized from any of those. FF is working, wheel is working, the manual gearshift buttons are working but thats it. the 4 other buttons on the wheel do nothing...is there something i can do?

cheers, Robert

Which console are you using? Which firmware version is your CronusMaxPLUS?
(You can find out by opening the Cronus Pro software, pressing F1, and a window will tell you the FW Version #.)

1.24 cronus firmware. PS4.

i just read that with 1.24 there is a button problem but my buttons are not recognized (L+r4,5) instead of beeing recognized as Lr 2 or 3. when i press them it is simply as i would do no input. do i also have to update the wheel itself via the logitech software? i have never done that.

I'm trying to find information on this in the forum section - http://cronusmax.com/forums/forumdis...Wheel-Edition/ and with everthing I've come across, it looks like you have to program your Cronus to read your G27 as a G29. I'll give you some links similar to your issue.

yes i found this thread too but does that mean that i need to write a script myself? isn't there anything out of the box from cronus for this? i am just wondering because i also found a thread where the forum moderator posted a picture of the mapping of the g27 how the g29 buttons are mapped on the g27. so i figured this has already been done by cronus themselves?

You don't have to map anything. You simply put the CronusMAX into PS4 Wheel Edition mode. That's it.

The button problem in 1.24 was fixed. SImply reflash the firmware (easily done by changing to standard mode then going to ps4 wheel edition mode for the last version to flash to the CM)

Hi Max Admin, thx for getting back on this. but i am still worried that lr4,5 are not recognized at all in 1.24. is that the same behaviour as you experienced? i only read that lr4,5 are recognized as other buttons in 1.24. but that is not the case with my setup. pressing those buttons does not do anything.

We already posted about this....

It would be helpful if you made a stickied post about the issue in the Racing Wheel Support sections, along with detailed instructions on how to downgrade the firmware and set up PS4 Wheel Edition mode. That would certainly help a portion of your customer base and reduce the support posts made on the issue.

could you guys just come back on my specific problem as i am not sure if my button behaviour is due to that bug, since the buttons are not recognized at all, not mapped falsely?

Did you downgrade your firmware to version 1.23?

I never upgraded my firmware to version 1.24. I'm actually still using the software version 1.00, but I believe that you open Cronus Pro and click the Tools menu, then select Firmware Update, and the option to downgrade should be in the window that pops up.

Hello again,

i updated to FW 1.23 now. unfortunately this did not change anything. buttons LR4,5 are still not recognised in games (dirt Rally ps4). again, they are not mapped wrongley, they just behave as if they would not exist, no input is recognized... what can i do now? does it help to connect the wheel to pc and update via logitech software? does that even affect PS4 gameplay?

Did you put your Cronus Max into Wheel Edition mode? http://cronusmax.com/manual/ps4_wheel_edition.htm


I believe the option is in the Tools / Options... window.

There have been countless fixes since 1.00 - you should update.

The button issue was fixed with 1.24 - you just have to reflash it.

Correct it's already been done. There's nothing that you need to do - it's all automatic. You are simply expecting the buttons to work differently. When there is a point in the game that requires the G29 Dial or the Rocker +/- then you can use the L4 L5 R4 R5 buttons.
