    Hi,

    thanks for the Tipps, i dont know what exactly but it works now!

    Thats what i did:

    • deleted: "C:\Users\*******\Documents\My Games\F1 22\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_info.xml"
    • set video settings new and to "Full Screen" - Mode
    • Alt+Tab in and out: FFB works! with full trigger rumble!

    Hope this will help someone.

    Any chance that your controller batteries got too low for force feedback to work? 

    Otherwise, you could try restarting/resetting your controller. 
    It could also be an issue on the EA app’s end, so in that case there’s not a whole lot you can do to resolve the issue.

    It's a Desktop Windows Manager issue with overlays. Fairly confident that the EA App doesn't interact with DWM in the same way that Origin did. 

    Disclaimer: I don't have the EA App or Origin. Fortunately I refunded my Origin key as the crossplay fiasco unfolded before I'd had access. Now on Steam. Similar issues with FFB and ALT-TAB due to window focus.

    The last line of your answer is probably true, but experiment in the area suggested. Maybe try running the game in Fullscreen setting rather than windowed (or vice versa). DX12 can make use of Fullscreen Optimisations but unfortunately I can't compare without a game to try.

    Thanks for making that clearer. 
    I myself don’t have the EA app, so I’m sort of trying to work a solution logically without knowing the ons and outs of the app/program. 
    I suppose it’s better to give a guesstimate answer rather than leaving them without an answer at all. 
    😇

    Suggestion sounds better than guesstimate.

    You’ve no idea how much it might! Thanks for posting back. 

    Specifics on “how to” are literally gold.
