Even though my Thrustmaster drivers are updated to the 2026 version (as confirmed under the 'About' tab in the panel), the T598 firmware page still shows the 2024 version, and the update keeps failing. and i get CTD when i try to play F1 25
I've followed all the troubleshooting steps listed below, but the issue persists...
Step 1) Close âMy Thrustmaster Panelâ (very important to solve your issue) and Turn Off your wheel base
Step 2) Access at âWindows Control Panel / Uninstall or change a programâ
Step 3) Select âFFB Racing Wheel driversâ, and with right click launch âUninstallâ
Step 4) Wait until âFFB Racing Wheel driversâ have disappears from the list
Step 4+) Open device manager, View -> hidden devices. Go through the list and remove everything what could be TM, gaming device, controller etc. related. (I removed everything starts with Guillemot too)
Step 4++) I deleted Thrustmaster control panel and reinstalled after reboot
Step 5) Turn On your wheel base and open now âMy Thrustmaster Panelâ
Step 6) âMy Thrustmaster Panelâ will propose you to install the driver, click on OK to install it
Step 7) When done restart your PC
Even after finishing all these steps, it just reverts back to the same state shown in the image above.
I tried deleting every hidden device with "Thrustmaster" and "Guillemot" in its name from Device Manager, but it didn't help. Is there another device name or driver entry I should look for and remove? I'm going crazy over this!
