Nightmare with Logitech G29 on PC

[Andybtsn]

Hi all,

I'm having an absolute mare getting G Hub to recognise my G29 steering wheel. I have just done about everything including reinstalling Windows!

On my Surface, it works fine, recognised instantly. On my PC, Windows will recognise it is getting plugged in, install the driver but G Hub cannot see it.

I read a reddit/YT guide on altering some things in the ghub program files to no avail.

It's driving me up the wall. Any ideas? It's a fresh install of Windows, I thought it might be the Logitech keyboard conflicting but again, plugging that into my Surface, all fine. Tried different USB ports etc.

Any ideas?

Are you using USB 2.0 ports? I know with my G920 it really doesn't like USB 3.0 ports.

I’m pretty sure I only have 3.0 ports!

The surface is like a 3 so I’m assuming that’s 2.0

Really? I thought all motherboards come with legacy USB 2.0 ports.

They tend to be near the network connection.

I’m probably wrong, I have tried every USB port regardless though and same issue.

Anything else plugged in? My Xbox controller would always cause issues.

I thought maybe my Logitech keyboard being plugged in first could have conflicted with it so I reset the machine again. Unplugged everything. Only thing software wise is G Hub, same thing. It’s absolutely baffling

key thing is do not plug it in until asked. this is a key mistake many people make with logitech wheels.

so download software . install it will then prompt you to plug in the wheel.

from there is should be fine. some programs mess with logitech wheels like geoforce experience.

I tried every combo going.

In the end, I gave up, However, after plugging everything back in, low and behold G-Hub suddenly recognised it. I literally couldn't even own up to anything stupid I did, or help anyone with a future fix!

Cheers for the responses, alls well that ends well.
