    if you run 2 pc : try open gamevibe first then open gameengine (on second PC) and open the game (in third on the main gaming PC)

    If you run only one PC : try open 1st gamevibe , then open simtools , then open the game

    (remeber all the effects are muted by default in gamevibe/profile editor . you have to unmute them (do open (see loudspeaker logos) one at a time for testing puposes each effect while in a game)

    Thx for the feedback guys.
    makes it easier to know what to look for when I go over GameVibe for a proper release.

    Hi Guys!

    I'm using Game Vibe with iRacing recently and I encountered with a problem, simply freeze and got a message which says GameVibe3 or GameVibe4 and waits for me to press OK. While it waits the vibration continue in the frequency when it freeze. After OK, it restarts and works fine until the next freeze. You Guys can see it in the video.



    LFS works fine for me, it just iRacing...

    Do You have any idea how can I(maybe others) overcome this?

    Thanks yobuddy!
    That was the problem, but I had to set my PC to full english language to get it work.
    Is it possible to fix this issue, It could be good to use my PC with my language package and of course running game vibe as well.

    take care, thx

    I wish buddy, but it seems to be very hard to replicate.
    I simply have not been able to get it to not work lol.

    Hello friends, what equipment do I need to be using the Vibe game? I'm trying to do the same work you're using. Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm very lazy in programming parts if you guys can help me. I'll be very grateful.
    I have some Logitech 5.1 speakers with which do I do this procedure? Or should I have something like a replacement speaker with a power supply and an amplifier?

    Well... i try to explain and make easy for you: buy 4 or 8 aura shakers; 4 for tires position, and 4 for seat, back, shifter and pedals. Ok. Buy 2 amplifiers with 2 in stereo and 4 out stereo at 4ohms each. Put aura shakers on correct position and its done !

    Awesome ! Aura its the same like this. Just verify your transducers in first atempts because low frequencys put shakers too hot if you use an amplifier with more power. ( 50watts x4 ch its more than sufficient )

    @paulopsx2 I agree! :thumbs
    The first tests actually show an excessive heating of these transducers. I have yet to fix several things! :grin

    my BTK LFE heats up a lot.
    20 min and it goes into safe operation.
    it does not work anymore, what do you recommend?
