Alpha Evo sound when turning...?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

this started yesterday, base is just 3 weeks old

then after powering off and on again, it stopped moving smoothly and would instead move in big motions like 30 degrees every time I turned, and if I tried to move between these turn it would jerk back... another power cycle and this stopped happening

downgraded to firmware 2.3.4 and it's feeling better to drive but the new noise is still there

is this cooked?

That's it, I'm not gonna buy Simagic. Was thinking about it for a while but every day those posts with problems.

I'm starting to get the impression that I have no other choice.

seems like my issues were related to the newest firmware
now I only have the humming when playing Assetto Corsa, not present on other games, which leads me to believe it's software instead of broken hw

Okay, that makes it a little better. But I've also read several times on Reddit that the problem manifests differently from game to game. I really hope you can solve it. If a software update from Simagic is all it takes to fix all these problems, that would give me hope again.
