    Hey mates,

    since today, my simtools "Game Engine" stop working, after a few seconds driving. Sometimes, after 5 seconds, somtimes, after one minute. But not longer than maybe 90 seconds. I did not change anything. I don't have a error message, but somtimes i can hear the windows usb sound. If after that, i restart the tool, it works again, for a few seconds. I don't know, where ist the problem. The Game Manager and Game Dash are still working in this time!

    That could be a USB disconnect, have you tried different USB cables and USB ports?

    Also isolate each interface one at a time to see if you can narrow down the culprit.

    I've been thinking about usb, too. But now, i believe i found the problem. Because i was sick, a long time i did not driving. I forgot, that i install these baby's, to prevent the current from flowing back to the power supply unit.

    I don't know, what i could do wrong. I asked a friend with electronic skills. He said, i connected the calbe good. Ok...if that was really the problem, (i seems to be) i know now where I need to investigate further.

    Thanks for your help!

    Pretty much anything running Win 7 or latter. If a PC can run the games you want, at the quality settings you want, then it should not really have much issue also running SimTools.
