    @Travis
    I believe you use the Need for Speed shift plugin for both games buddy.
    (Shift 1 and Shift 2)

    I just had a look. Sorry my mistake it was a old link in the downloads section that has that file (don't download). But yeah that is the file I am using you listed. It works on Shift 1. But Shift 2 there is no movement in-game.

    What patch path are you using for Shift 2 and did you recapture Tuning Center values once patched?

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings.

    I just hit patch game and that is all I have done. How do I change the patch path to Shift 2 directory?

    Game manager doesn't say Game running when opening Shift 2. But it does for Shift 1

    If it does not give you the option to select the patch path then try doing it manually by editing the relevant file here: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\SimTools\GameManager\GamePathSaves

    What do I have to do to the files? If I open them with notepad. It just says Game Patched.

    Perhaps @value1 can advise if adding the Shift 2 path manually works or not.

    The game exe is: shift2u
    I changed it to SHIFT, the same as Shift1 exe name. The game manager detected it.
    But then the game doesn't load and origin thinks the game is then not installed. Changing it back to shift2u the game then loads but then simtools doesn't dectect the game again. Tried making a shortcut named SHIFT hoping that'd work maybe. But still nothing.
