G29 ignoring FFB

alright, so fun story: a few weeks ago, my G29 started doing something interesting: mainly pretending it was not in use. for any G29 users, heres what im talking about: make sure you're on your desktop, and have nothing open, just G HUB, now turn your wheel in any direction. normally, it would go back to the position before you turned it. anyways, back to Beam

now, when you spawn into a map, it works fine, lets you steer easier, and doesn't immediately go back to a 0 degree angle when stationary. that is, until you switch to a different app, which for me is usually Edge okay look, its a great browser, okay? then the issue begins: my wheel randomly ignores the FFB settings, and instead decides nothing is open.
the fun part? Beam still detects it as a active input method, and it still reacts to a K-Series driving off a cliff because i was writing a forum post and not paying attention (don't text and drive, kids)
now there is a temporary fix to this, which is to plug/unplug a different input method, like a controller. sure, it lets me use the wheel properly again, but it doesn't really fix much, changing to a different window (or just simply alt+tab'ing) will "break" it again. i cannot tell if its a bug that keeps happening, or im simply being cursed by the simracing gods for buying a Logitech wheel. but lets just say its been getting annoying.

 

Going to paste a reply I had for another user I hope it helps

In the menu go to options > controls
In the forcefeedback tab you'll see a configuration section you should see your wheel bind in my case it is called (x axis) select the bind you will see a window that allows you to fine tune the force feedback

Where it says force feedback configuration >enabled
Check the box and click apply, then select the bind again and re enable the force feedback this should fix your issue

 

iv got the exact same problem started last week. I tab out to check something for example and my wheel resets to centre but still registered as an input. only way for my is to keep replunging it

 

i swear to god the only version of windows that didn't randomly break something was vista. like im not even joking im pretty sure i never encountered a issue on it

other than the fingerprint scanner being meh at times, but that's Dell's fault
