FanatecService (32bit) - Very high CPU during iRacing

I updated last weekend from the old v451 drivers to the new FanatecApp (1.5.2.3) drivers.

This morning I jumped into a GT3 practice session at IndyRoad, and was getting terrible (sub 90fps) performance in VR, so checked taskmanager to find FanatecService (32bit) using way more CPU then expected.

What is the FanatecService doing while racing to be using a full core of my 9800x3D?

  • 9800X3D Specs: 8 Cores / 16 Threads.
  • Capacity Per Thread: 100% ÷ 16 { threads} = 6.25% total system CPU load.
  • What 6.0% Means: The process is consuming ~96% of a single thread's resources continuously. This single-thread bottleneck is why Windows flags its power consumption as Very high.

Can I disable it?
Why is it needed?
Does anyone at Fanatec do QA?

Upgrading CSL DD from much older driver/firmware to new App (Trueforce) - Do I need go to v471

I've been running my CSL-DD (8mn) on v451 drivers since they became the stable version. Never updated past that due version issues reported in the forums/reddit etc.

I know v471 eventually became a good release and stable for many people, but if now want to update to the Fanatec App - (new True Force driver ver),

  1. Do I need to update to v471 or another intermediate version before hand?
  2. Can I role back to my current working firmware/software?
  3. Is it even worth if?
