Force feedback not working

So this worked for me in last years game. Naturally I went right to trying this in this years game.  It only works until I pause the game again. Then I have to unplug it again to get the FFB to come back. what little FFB there is.( that last part is new this years game.)  You would think since last years game was a disaster on release, they would make the game being playable a priority for those who paid for early access and are clearly the core demographic. ... smh... So glad I preordered this game again... oh and did anyone notice the customisable driver stuff is virtually the same... for a 3rd year in a row.... it s comical at this point...  also, yes my Ghub is updated. This is the exact same issue as last year. with EA giving us the same steps that  didn't work last time too.
