Then I changed to the wheel on the fly in the middle of the race. I realized this when I was playing singleplayer with both keyboard and wheel. That's also the reason why doing something with the wheel before the race start usually helps to counter this issue but not always.

Then until some certain time has passed when I've wiggeled the wheel, the game registers the wheel as the main controller. Because I've my wireless USB keyboard (Microsoft 4000 if I remember right) and the Fanatec wheel, the game in multiplayer thinks that my main controller is the keyboard.

Could be a bug in the game even, but that would still be linked to that specific part of the code that controls the wheel because other wheels don't have that problem Literally the only thing that confuses me about this whole situation is the fact that your wheel doens't do this all the time, but only online when there are other cars running. This is my best guess and since there will be monthly updates now, if there's actually code for that in the game, I'd suggest trying to temporarily disable it for the next build so that you can find out if that fixes the problem. Often games try to reset the wheel everytime you try to drive to make sure the wheel's settings are all correct, but some wheels just need a few seconds to properly do that. In that case a possible workaround would be to do that while loading the track instead of waiting for the race to start. Maybe the wheel simply takes a while to initialize in some cases.

The only thing you could try would be trying a different driver and/or windows (I'm running 7 which is probably the most stable one when it comes to that) or hope for Bugbear to find a workaround. Often it's hard to find the cause and very often the cause is the driver itself. Other wheels turn out to be trickier and problems like this are quite common among all wheels and all games that support them. They have to write code specifically for each wheel, for example Logitech wheels rely on the Logitech profiler to run in the background or else the game can only receive the most basic input from Windows without sending anything important to the wheel, like proper FFB or wheel settings or something. I have talked to an rFactor 2 dev about that problem.

A possible problem really is that every single wheel is completely different to communicate with. I always had a G27 and it always worked great with Wreckfest.
