    Motion works just fine with the new patch. It is glaringly obvious that it is the new patch running as well. Fixed the game!

    UPDATE.....Restarting the pc didn't help which got me to thinking, if it's working for others .......so I change the in game shared memory setting to pc1 and it's working now. I had it set on pc2 which worked before todays game patch. Maybe someone else can also verify this. Thanks

    Can anyone else verify that after pCARS2 3.0 game update the shared memory in game pc2 setting doesn't work anymore and needs to be set on pc1 or am I the only one? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Pcars2 have just been updated with patch 1.3.0.0.
    This also includes an update of the shared memory that has been upgraded to version 9.

    Does anyone have the new version of "SharedMemory.h"?

    It's one thing after another lately:).........Now I'm having a problem with sway not working, left and right movements of my rig with pcars 2 only. All other games are fine atm. I'm not even sure it worked after I switched it over to pcars 1 in the shared memory settings after the pc 3.0 update earlier in the week as I haven't used it much this week.

    Am I the only one having this problem?:cheers

    I never have sway set high enough to register to be honest because its the one movement that makes me feel ill.

    Let me give it a try with more sway and come back to you.

    Thanks Andy....I usually set it on the low movement side also. Just enough to enhance the game without it swaying me all over the place and that's probably why it took me awhile to notice it wasn't working with pc2.

    I've tried recapturing the motion again and even shut down everything but nothing so far. It works fine with other games so it must be something with this game and only with me!?

    I'll work on it later today if I get a chance and I'm open to suggestions if anybody has any....thanks!

    To be honest @Hobbs77, I'm beginning to doubt myself now.

    I'm going to try again tonight and crank the Sway to the max and make sure what I'm saying to you is correct.

    I'll let you know

    OK...I finally fixed it!:) Not sure what caused the issue to begin with but somehow the pc2 game plugin 2033 got corrupted and the sway stopped working with pc2 game only. Sometime between the game patch release and this past Saturday, Dec 2nd.

    I unpatched and re-patched the game several times along with all the other motion setup things but nothing worked. I finally reinstalled the plugin, patched it and I'm happy to say, everything is back to normal. :thumbs
    So now I'll know when things like this start going wonky, I'll start with the game plugin first.:cheers Now if I can only remember something longer than 5min.:grin

    I know how you feel.

    I had to look something up the other day, and hunted all over the net.
    Only to find the answer to exactly what I was looking for!

    It was so perfect in fact, I wanted to send a thank you note to the poster.
    Only to realize, it was me from years ago. :p

    You have to love it, when your past self, is looking out for your future self. :thumbs
    (Even if it's by accident) :grin
