Hey Guys so i got my self a GIMX and seem to have it working however i have no FFB.

I think the main issue revolves around haptic error unable to update effect. Any resolutions?

Just a FYI for anyone with similar issues regarding no haptic sink.

I managed to get FFB working.. absolutely have no idea what the issue was.

The only thing I done differently was that I installed an old version of the Logitech gaming software (not Logitech gaming hub)

However after installing, It wouldn't even get to a stage where it works even without FFB.

I uninstalled the Logitech gaming software and out of nowhere its working with ffb!

Super happy now. Although the shaking in GTS isn't nice it's manageable.
