    Hi guys

    I'm pretty new to the sim racing scene. I bought a (2DOF) DOFReality setup, which came with SimTools 2.0 (specifically 2.2.5) for my business. We plan to use it mainly with Project Cars 2 and Dirt Rally. However the Game Engine program crashes every time we launch Project Cars 2.

    Some extra detail: We're using it with VR (Oculus Rift) but will be launching on Steam.

    Thanks in advance for any advice/help :)

    @Zak,
    Can you give me any details about the crash buddy?
    Maybe a screen shot of the crash log maybe?
    Chat soon,

    @yobuddy Sorry for the late reply.

    Unfortunately not, there's no crash log or error report that appears (not that I'm aware of anyways). The game engine program simply just stops working as soon as PC2 is loaded. If there's anything I can do to give more input let me know.

    Can you double check your hardware and try different USB cables and ports.

    Can you please confirm Output Testing works as expected and that SimTools works OK in other games.

    As there is more than one PC2 plugin which are you using and have you tried an alternate PC2 plugin?

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings.

    Apologies for the late reply again. Been in the final stages of opening a business and had major delays. Finally got around to looking into this again, seems to be fixed since SimTools was updated to 3.2.1. Game Engine no longer crashes when PC2 opens.
