dirt4 logitech g920

README.md

In Dirt 4 my Logitech G920 stopped working. By "stopped working" I mean that the throttle was consistently at 100% and menu navigation was impossible due to a scrolling issue.

After some searching and integrating various suggestions, I made a couple of changes to the xml file that drives how Dirt 4 interprets the G920 input. This fix isn't perfect as some menu navigation was lost in the process and I have to resort to the keyboard. Hopefully, I will be able to fix that in the future. If you have suggestions for improvements, please let me know.

In order to use this file, replace the existing lg_g920.xml in the following location.

<wherever your steam library is installed>\steamapps\common\DiRT 4\input\actionmaps\lg_g920.xml

TBD what you have to do in order to apply the new xml within Dirt 4.
