What the hell happened to this game?

Presumption - noun - the act of believing that something is true without having any proof.

The game FFB signal will almost certainly be clipping with such high in game gain and LFB - perhaps your hands are not quite as golden as you presume? Instead of making presumptions about the causes of your difficulties and then getting all sad, you'd be better off doing some methodical testing. Maybe even take some advice in the spirit that it is offered instead of acting like a petulant child. I expect that if you toned back the ignorance and arrogance and were prepared to act on advice, you'd be able to find settings that worked better. Maybe that would cheer you up.
