I tried a bisect to see where it broke, but unsurprisingly it comes down to the big dinput rework some years ago:
adfee25b45af8160848f94fdb24279d63d5f91f4 is the first bad commit commit adfee25b45af8160848f94fdb24279d63d5f91f4 Author: Rémi Bernon rbernon@codeweavers.com Date: Mon Oct 11 10:10:57 2021 +0200
dinput: Remove legacy joystick backends. Signed-off-by: Rémi Bernon <rbernon@codeweavers.com> Signed-off-by: Alexandre Julliard <julliard@winehq.org>
The game does detect the wheel as force feedback capable and happily runs the feedback test in the settings, but nothing happens at the hardware end.
Toggling autocenter does however work.
You might have more luck posting about this bug here https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9221 It might be the same as that GPL bug and at least people are signed up to the cc list there.
