Patch 1.07 Hotfix & Windows 10 information
We performed a hotfix to correct a few issues caused by the patch 1.07 deployed this weekend:
- Bug fix with Logitech Driving Force GT / Driving Force Pro
- Logitech G25 / G27 no longer cause performance issues when Logitech Gaming Software Profile is running.
For Windows 10 users who may have encountered issues with their Logitech G25 / G27wheels:
If your G25 or G27 doesn't work on Windows 10 you may have a driver installation problem. Here is a method to install the drivers correctly on Windows 10 :
Download correct driver from Logitech website
Go to one of these link depending on your wheel :
G25 : http://support.logitech.com/en_au/product/g25-racing-wheel
G27 : http://support.logitech.com/en_au/product/g27-racing-wheel
Very important : You must choose Windows 8 as the operating system in the drop down list.
Install the driver
Navigate to the folder where you saved the driver to. You should have a file called lgs510_x64.exe or lgs510.exe depending on the version you selected.
Right click the file and click on "properties". Then select the "compatibility" tab.
Tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode for :" and choose "Windows 7".
Launch the executable. The installation should work and the drivers should be ok.
Your wheel should now work fine in the game.
