The huge number of bugs in /dlls/dinput/effect_linuxinput.c is still present,
so no, FF doesn't work (perfectly) as how it should.
Attaching logs will not help much in this case.
I submitted an RFC to solve these bugs, but don't have time to create the patch
series right now:
https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2014-March/103268.html
If anyone is willing to create this patch series, I would be glad to give
feedback.

rFactor is known to use dynamic updating of periodic effects, such as Sine
effects.
This is not yet supported for the current Linux driver (assuming you're using
the ff-memless kernel driver).

Probably the to-be-uploaded effect is not supported by your Linux driver.
If you add the "dinput" debug channel to the command-line, you might be able to
track down which effect type is involved.
