    Thank you for your reply.

    I changed the regional language settings a few weeks ago and set them to English (United States), because if they don't, DR, DR2.0 and Forza 7 will not work, but now these games are very good, only DIRT 4 Can't run.

    I feel very strange.

    Many thanks noorbeast for your reply but just to clarify I was trying to ask but I didn't make it clear as to whether any game, including Codemaster's, needs to have the SimTools running in the background before you do the first patch to get the necessary files that I presume go into documents/my games or whether you should definitely NOT have SimTools game engine & game manager running in the background before you do the first patch?
    Put another way is SimTools generating the necessary files before the first patch or is it the game that is generating the required files and what are those required files as I haven't been able to read anything about them?

    It is the game the generates the necessary files and I believe it is LFS and Codemaster games that require running before patching.

    This game with simtools does not work for me now, when I open the game it does not recognize me, I have deleted the pluggin and I have put it back and nothing, and now I'm wrong with the game manager just by choosing the dirt 4 in the pick tab the game. It is the only one that gives me error of all games (Dirt rally, Dirt 2.0, Asseto Corsa, RBR, F1-2018, Eurotruck) The fact is that until recently I worked correctly, but I have already patched three times and I still do the same.
    The message starts like this, but it's very extensive, and I've uploaded it to wetransfer because I did not know how to upload it here

    Guys any chance you can check whether this plug-in still works as I followed the instructions and it's still not working?

    deleted cfg.BAK etc , no joy.

    Not sure if it's using the latest SimTools whether it was a Windows 10 update but it worked before and is now stopped working. The only thing that I think might have affected it also is trying the new Dirt 4 Plugin 2.1.1.0 and going back to this version.

    Many thanks

    The 2 dirt plugins are by different authors, so one is not newer than the other, they simply have different version numbers is all.
    I can only speak for this plugin (v2.0.1.5), as its the one I worked on.
    It seems the 2 version of the plugin patch the game differently, so switching them without re patching may cause problems.
    But I'll take a peek after the next release is out guy's.

    I tried the Dirt 4 Plugin 2.0.1.5 plugin before, but it didn't work. When I entered the game, the seats trembled in an orderly manner.

    I reinstalled the Dirt 4 Plugin 2.1.1.0 plugin today. After the patch was finished, the seat jitter was very intense when I entered the game. This made me think that the plugin had a problem, but it was just shaking when driving. I feel it should be Normal, then I adjusted MAIN LEVEL to 85%, it feels better, and the jitter is reduced. Then I re-adjusted the TC data, then adjusted the MAIN LEVEL to 95%, and it feels normal.

    Now I finally succeeded in playing Dirt 4, which is great.

    Can anybody who still has Dirt 4 Plugin 2.0.1.5 plugin working (preferably with 3DOF) share and upload an image of their axis assignments please?

    many thanks?

    As I'm getting no movement no way to see if my direction assignments are correct.

    Getting a weird problem with this where motion is good for a couple of minutes then just vanishes suddenly as game engine shuts down but game manager is still showing blue.

    That is most likely an issue related to your rig, not the plugin.

    No bother, thanks for quick reply. All other games good, that's why I assumed might be plugin.
    Bit of an oldie this one anyway, just niggles when something not right.

    I started Dirt 4 and patched it. Run the game and found that there is no movement. Occasionally, there will be a little movement when the car crashes, and nothing else. Dirt 2 was running normally before.

    It would be helpful if you post a picture of the Tuning Center with Dirt 4 running, as it sounds like you need to refine your motion profile, in particular capturing the TC Max/Mins and refining from there: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    I decided to give this one another try after getting my pc serviced.
    Problem I'm now having is it refuses to install patch until I've ran game once. I've ran it several times but keep getting same refusal messages.

    Some game require running first to generate required files for successful patching, though I am not sure about $4 as it was a long time ago when I first set it up. But Codemaster games do have different patch paths depending on Windows being 32 or 64bit, and I suspect that is the real issue: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-32-bit-install-path-for-motion-patching.260/

    Unfortunately nobody can offer help on such limited information, if you have an issue you need to give as much detail as possible about it, what you have and have not tried, plus the circumstances it is occurring in.

    Information such as .. that windows have / if I already installed the game patch / without first having a connection between both programs such as the manager and the enguine .... first upload some photos or a video of when you start the programs and then the game. .. all codecmaster games are complicated means of connecting but not impossible except the latest dirt 5

    ok, sorry sorry for not giving more information about my problem , what happening is, after I installed the plugin (dirt 4 , dirt 2.0) and patch it and run the game the servo (by the way i'm using arduino uno with 3 servos as example before build a big one ) the servo not move at all and when I open tuning center I see no feedback at all , but with ETS and Assetto Corsa and some other game work fine but not with Dirt 4 ,2 and Project cars 2 as well ...
