PPPoker - unfair software? Special setting?

I am mostly a live low-stakes player and a moderate to good winner at my local casino, which has sadly closed due to the coronavirus pandemic with no reopening date in sight.
A local pub poker community has started a league using PPPOKER software.
I have played ~ 12-15 sessions and am down ~ 12 buyins.
I have got it in good multiple times, yet almost always been sucked out on.
I know exactly how most of the Villains play and adjust accordingly.
When I flop a monster, someone else has flopped a bigger monster.
I do not believe that I am playing any worse than usual.
I simply cannot take a trick.
In live poker I have had my fair share of downswings but I usually have a winning session in between. Here I have lost my past 8-10 sessions and during that time have NOT STACKED ANY OPPONENT ON ONE OCCASION. It is one steady slide. The few moderate pots that I have won have been on bluffs. I am VALUE-OWNED almost every time I get a value hand. The Villains by and large play atrociously. Much worse than a typical 1/3 live game.
While I appreciate the opportunity to play again and practise my skills, I simply cannot continue playing on a platform when it is impossible to win. I have set aside an amount in terms of buyins I am willing to lose on this platform (admittedly, a very small portion of my total career winnings) while it is not possible to play live.
Have any of you encountered the same playing on PPPOKER?

It's not just one app, it's every patternised (random) number generator on the planet. Computers cannot randomise, can only deliver **** in a patternised manner. You will never see a dry board in your life in online poker, cards always represent the players in the showdown's holdings.
