Hello,

I have the MP.28 Lamborghini Gallardo Steering Wheel made by Atomic Accessories, I received it as a gift.

This wheel has force feedback capability. Here is the problem I am having:

I installed the drivers but when I turn on Assetto Corsa the game slows to a crawl, my CPU use goes to 99% and even starts overheating my computer.

I uninstall the drivers and the computer recognizes the wheel as USBGAMT - all axes work, the buttons work and the thing powers on and self-centers. But I do not get the forcefeedback I was looking for while playing.


I can play the game without the FFB but the wheel has the motor, it self centers with a motor and all I see online is that it does indeed have forcefeedback.

I was wondering if anybody on here knows this device, and if there is any driver that I can use with this wheel to get it to give me the force feedback I would like without sacrificing the performance of the game.

Any advice/help is greatly appreciated. I have a 'Wheel Check' program that is supposed to help with the FFB set-up for wheels, but when I run the test it does nothing. The FFB Driver GUID says 00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000 < might have missed some zeroes but it's all zeroes - as if no ForceFeedback Driver GUID. FFB Driver Ver: 0


When the machine turns on it moves to the left, then to the right, then to the left again, to the right once more and then centers. Like some sort of calibration.

Anybody have any idea how to get this thing to work? Thanks!

In all honesty, I haven't heard of the brand, so it's hard to tell.

What I would do it try setting a core affinity to the controller software if possible. Lock it to a single core, so it doesn't take over all cores and threads and kill your performance. Not an elegant solution, but a possible fix. That one core will get pounded, but that shouldn't be too bad I hope.

Good luck, gaming on a nice FFB wheel is an amazing experience. I hope this helps in any way to get you where you need to be.

I know it's a weird brand. ANd things aren't looking optimistic, while they do have a website up and running, every e-mail address rebounds as Over Quota and their last social media post was in 2015. I might be SOL unless somebody knows how to code drivers from scratch. I'm no coder I'm hardly a gamer. I just wanted an easy game to play with some friends abroad and this was on sale so we all bought it at the same time.

I wanted something simple, a T80 or something, not really looking for the FFB since I wanted to see if how into it I got.

I managed to get it to work smoothly, by 'Forcing' the control to work in 32bits. The drivers don't even have a launcher/profiler. I found two hidden icons in the program folder that say Settings 64 Bit and Settings and 32 bit Settings. Clicked on the 32 Bit one and only says - 32 Bit Settings set. Nothing else happens.

But this at least does away with the lag.



I didn't put my computer information on here -

ASUSTek Computer Model GL552VW, Intel Core I7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.6GHz 12 GB Kingston RAM. Product ID for windows is 003247-30443-02737-AAOEM

I opened the wheel up to see if maybe this thing was a 'reskinned' logitech MOMO or something of the sort but no.

I'm still crossing my fingers to see if I get some help from somebody here.....

Try what I said on core affinity and change it to windows 7 under compatibility settings for the files.

Given its age, windows 7 is more likely the version most compatible.

If you do get a wheel, go with a T150. Coats more than the t80 but offers ffb and the wheel range is great. The logitech g29 or 920 are also good butore expensive.
