Fanatec CSL DD QR1 8Nm Tries to Kill Me After the Latest Fanatec App Update 1.5.2.3

Yesterday I updated the Fanatec App and all drivers to the latest version. After that, I wanted to hop into rFactor 2.

As usual, I started from the pits and opened my SimHub overlay. The moment I tabbed back into the game, my wheel suddenly pulled with what felt like 100% force in one random direction. It nearly broke my wrist and fingers.

I also tested it without the SimHub overlay, and the same thing happened. It seems to occur whenever I alt-tab out of and back into the game, or even when I press Esc.

It's not just the sudden full-force pull either. All rumble effects seem to trigger at once, and after that the wheel completely loses FFB. The steering also becomes very strange, almost digital, as if it's either full left or full right with nothing in between.

I'm honestly very disappointed and also shocked. This could have easily caused a serious injury to my fingers or wrist.

Has anyone else experienced this since the latest Fanatec App/driver update?
