Force Feedback on xbox 360 controller?

Hi so I finally got wireless receiver for my xbox 360 controller. Everything works fine and I love it (game experience has increased), except force feedback doesn't work (not a big deal but it would be nice)
If anyone knows something about that please tell me what to do.
I'm using Microsoft xbox 360 accessories driver.

I am using a wired xbox 360 controller for PC, and force feedback works just fine, check your options, although I did have problems with steering going bonkers with my wireless controller

I have wireless controller and I had to play around with dead zones settings (especially for looking around). My force feed back is on and I also played around with feedback intensity controls and nothing (only once I thought I felt something shaking, but it was very weak, on xbox games f.feedback works)
I'll keep trying there's gotta be something...
Thanks for response so i know that it works for you.

I found the fix, anyone having same issue go to the link beneath.
If you install the fix while in game you will have to restart the game for fix to work!

I have tried every guide/advise I can find on forums, and my wired XBOX 360 controller has FBB in every game that supports it but ETS2. Really wish to know what I am missing.

I always found it weird to call it force feedback when all it does is rumble. A type of feedback, sure, but you have no actual force applied to the controller to give any feedback. Not like the G27 that has motors to actually apply a force to the wheel to give you feedback.

That is neither here nor there though, this is a good find and I thank you for it. Had no idea you could enable to rumble on the controller.

Force in this case is used as a noun not a verb - 'the force of the wind...' as opposed to 'the wind forced me...'. The controllers have motors in them as well, with a half-moon weight spinning in an unbalanced way, which in turn creates the rumble effect. Think of a washing machine shaking itself apart when all the clothes are on one side of the tub. /end English lecture.

I'm pretty sure in this case we're talking force (verb). Since force (verb) is defined as 'strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.'. You've got motors physically spinning a weight around to give you the feeling of vibration (noun). Now a controller vibrating in my hand to me isn't force feedback, as stated before, it is still a feedback but not in our general thinking of force feedback. Actual force feedback generally applies a force or resistance against your force to let you know that something is happening to you. I'm sure the general population would agree that a controller vibrating wouldn't generally count as force feedback, and if asked about force feedback they would name off something like the G27 or the WingMan Force 3D as examples.

So thank you Professor Know-It-All for your delightful, if incorrect, english lecture. It was an insightful view into the mind of someone who doesn't know anything about peripherals.
