Hi everybody. After some amount of time playing any game with Logitech Rumblepad 2 gamepad (it can be 20 mins, 30, 1 hour, 2 hours and so on) it stops responding. If i look at the gaming controllers menu, it says that the gamepad is connected (OK). But when i try to calibrate it, the cross doesn't move. If i turn on/off the rumble function on the gamepad, it buzzes as it should, so physically the gamepad is OK also. But it doesn't respond in games/calibration. If I quit the game i was playing and replug the gamepad, it starts to work again. So my question is, of course it can be a broken gamepad, but why does it start to work when I replug it ? Maybe there is some way of fixing this issue ? BTW I have installed the new Wingman Profiler from logitech.com but neither starting, nor leaving this program alone fixes the problem... thanks' for your time and sorry for my bad english
