Firmware Versions

Known issues

• Podium DD ‘dullness’ compared to ClubSport DD. This is under investigation, along with other FFB improvements.
• Some message screens of the ClubSport Formula V3 sometimes get stuck and don't clear until Tuning Menu is opened.
• Several ITM features like setting a favorite page or auto-page-switch function are not yet working on the ClubSport Formula V3.
• The FFB is lost on ClubSport DD and Podium DD Bases after hot-swapping a Hub and Button Module while being in game, requiring a game restart.
• The FunkySwitch rotational inputs of the Podium Button Module Endurance are not registered properly on ClubSport DD and Podium DD Bases.
• ClubSport Pedals V2 are not recognized when connected via RJ12 to a Base.
• Some inputs like clutch paddle input or FunkySwitch rotary inputs are slow/delayed in the App. This is just a visual issue of the App, the actual input is not affected.
• The steering wheel position is shown incorrectly on wheel center calibration page when hitting the end stop. This is just a visual issue of the App; the actual end stop position is not affected.
• BRF and Curve settings of the Podium Pedals are not saved to game profiles so BRF will reset to 50, and Curves will reset to Custom 1 when loading a profile. Make sure to set the BRF and Curve settings to your intended value after a profile is loaded. This will be addressed in a future update.
• BRF is shown as 0% in the App from time to time.
• BRF is not working on ClubSport Pedals V3 if connected via USB.
• The Handbrake calibration is not working if connected via USB.
• Adjusting 8th gear in PER GEAR mode is not working as the page shows a gray block.
• The 2026 UDP telemetry in F1 25 is not working correctly.
• The UDP port for Forza Horizon 6 is using a wrong default port of 20888. This can be resolved by setting it manually to 7000.
• Minimizing the App causes an invisible WebView2 window on the Windows desktop which blocks mouse-clicking and prevents moving desktop icons inside a rectangular area.
• The window position and size are not saved on multi-monitor setups so it will always start on the main monitor.
• Mouse emulation is missing on the Podium Button Module Endurance when attached to a ClubSport Universal Hub V1.
• The telemetry data and LEDs can be delayed which can cause a freeze of the Display and LED output.
• Button LEDs reset to pre-defined default colors when starting the App instead of keeping user-specified LED colors.
• Button LEDs are not loaded when manually loading a profile.
• Button LEDs of the Podium BMW M4 GT3 wheel are swapped on the right side.
• A blank page appears when copying Button LED colors.
• The RevStripe toggle always resets back to ON after restarting the App.
• The RevLED sliders are not adjustable for RevStripe wheels (i.e. all CSL Steering Wheel P1 variants, including BMW and WRC versions).
• The SAVE PROFILE button is not working and does not save changes to the profile or saves a copy of the profile to a wrong game folder.
• Sometimes a profile does not load properly. A full rework of the game profile management is planned to fix several profile related issues.
• Sometimes communication between the App and the Base hangs, preventing changes made in the App Tuning Menu from being sent to the Base.
• Sometimes Tuning Menu settings are not saved and restored after an App restart.
• The log files can grow excessively large over time. Until the issue is fixed with a future App update, customers should delete the log files from time to time manually.
• The Fanatec Mobile App is currently not working with the Fanatec Windows App. A full rework of the Mobile App is in development to support the Windows App.
