Symptoms

For the game to start, the StartPlayingNow.bat file has to be edited to have this content:
@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO [Starting the iRacing Service in the background]
ECHO.
ECHO Please sign in to the iRacing service in the browser opening now
@if exist _use64bit.txt del _use64bit.txt > NUL
@CALL Start_iRacingService.bat
REM @START "iRacing web site" %1
iRacingSim64DX11.exe
@SLEEP 5

The game starts but does not detect or see movement or button presses for my Guillemot Force Feedback wheel or Digital Joysyick. Both work in jstest and fftest (for the wheel).

Reproduction

Do the edit described above and start the game and then try to define the controls using a wheel or joystick.

Start by reviewing steam-266410.log and reproducing the reported setup with the edited StartPlayingNow.bat, then test the Guillemot Force Feedback wheel and Digital Joystick controls. Compare behavior with jstest and fftest as described. Done means iRacing starts without the reported workaround and detects wheel or joystick movement and button presses.
