Description
Initially, I suspected that the game was freezing when shifting into 4th and 5th gear. However, after further testing, I discovered that the actual problem appears to be related to the manual clutch.
When manual clutch is disabled, everything works correctly:
Steering wheel and force feedback work normally.
All six gears can be selected using the physical H-pattern shifter.
Gear shifting using the steering wheel pedals also works without any issues.
However, as soon as I enable Manual Clutch in the game settings, Arma Reforger starts freezing indefinitely when shifting gears.
The issue is no longer limited to 4th and 5th gear. It can also occur when shifting into 2nd and 3rd gear.
i have the clutch as a analog input in the settings as the HOTAS Video had it.
Behaviour
The game freezes indefinitely when using the manual clutch. Disabling manual clutch eliminates the problem, and all six gears work correctly again.
Additional Information
The issue appears to be related specifically to manual clutch input processing rather than the H-pattern shifter itself.
Could this be a bug in the analog clutch input handling, DirectInput/HID device processing, or the vehicle simulation?
Further investigation would be appreciated.
Thank you!
