I searched, nothing useful came up. So here goes:
I've got the ff2 joystick, and it's quite good... when it works. The problem are the drivers. They work some of the time, but sometimes they just go crazy and strange things happen. Like the joystick stops centering itself and all force feedback stops. Annoying while you're on someones tail.
Also, it keeps crashing the properties panel, when under the forces tab and you press the buttons. Sometimes the centering goes a bit funny while under the forces tab. Like sitting on the pyramid button is pressed but it isn't.
So here's my question: has anyone managed to make it work? And by work I mean it's stable for, like, 97% of the time? Either through Microsoft drivers(I lost hope on that one) or through homemade ones. My only hope now are the home made ones, since micro soft dropped all support for it. If you did, can you post how?
EDIT: Oh, Windows XP, sp2 FYI
