Hi all, my G27 disconnects during Grid Autosport online MP only. Not in single player, nor on any other online race game. It was fine until about 10 days ago. Now when I start a race online, in race or in lobby it will have a black screen with "controller disconnected" pop over the game play. It can happen within 10 seconds to almost the length of a race but more than usual it will happen in the first race I try. It rarely manges two races. I've reinstalled the wheel and its drivers. Tried different USB slots to no avail. I've also reinstalled the game twice and deleted all profiles and games that have been installed on or around that time. Its not over heating, i spend hours at a time on other sims etc with absolutely no issues.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

I thing I've solved the issue. Windows 8.1 was the culprit. I reinstalled windows 8 after a format. The wheel worked fine. I updated to windows 8.1 and all its current 8.1 updates and the problem returned. I am assuming it was a later update of win8.1 that caused the issue. One that is around two weeks back from this date. I'm not going to update to win8.1 now. I will leave it for as long as I can. Unfortunately the beta Amd/ati drivers are now only for win7 and win8.1. I may even be right in thinking after CCC 14.4, all their drivers will be this way. II'll be back with an update. I'm sure I can't be the only g27 owner to have stumbled on this issue?

Sorry, I was wrong. Windows 8 wasn't at fault. Having two 7990's was to blame. I have no solution for this other than, if you want to play grid autosport you may have to only used one 7990 if you have an identical build to mine :)
