No, actually i'm using a simucube 2.

Do you think it might be correlated to the device, or in this case, a setting on the device side? I admit that i did not read up on all available settings yet, so maybe i need to change something in true drive to match ingame settings to avoid this problem.

Odd, SC2 here, no issues with 333mhz mode, or on AC with FF_SKIP_STEPS=0. There is nothing on TD side to match FFB update rate, TBW limit is completely different thing although confused for the same sometimes.
