Fixes & Workarounds for American Truck Simulator Not Detecting Wheel Input
- The initial step is to make sure the Wheel controller is connected to the port in a stable manner.
- Next up, check your control setup and set it as Wheel input.
- The wheel control sensitivity should be set all the way right and the non-linearity all the way left.
- Another workaround is to powercycle your controller. This is done by unplugging and replugging the controller from the power supply and the computer.
- Then, open the button keybind menu and unbind all the controls set for steering.
- Always make sure that the controller shows up in the device manager & on Steam.
- You can also try switching between different ports for the controller.
- Likewise, another possible fix is to go to Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings in Steam and turn off the Generic Gamepad Configuration Support
- A simple workaround is that if you are using a wheel controller from brands like Logitech, you can use the Logitech Gaming Software to map the controls as you wish.
- Thrustmaster, Fanatec and Logitech all provide drivers for their controllers on their website. Keep the drivers of your wheel controller updated.
- Another fix is to navigate to Steam account->Big Picture Mode->ETS2->Manage Game->Controller Options and set the “Use Steam Configuration for Non-Steam Controllers” setting to “Global Setting (None)”
