    hello! some weeks ago I decided to upgrate to the 2.5 version, I unistalled the 2.4.1 and then Installed the 2.5, everything was fine, the output testing was working, the telemetry in the tuning center was ok, but.... no movement at all, when I run a test with the output testing everything works fine but not during the game, I made all the rutine procedures, unpatch, run a race, path again. so I uninstalled the 2.5 and reinstall the 2.4 but.... I have the same issue, now my sim doesn't move at all! can anyone help me please!?

    If Output Testing works OK, you have motion profiles, and have patched games, then likely something is interfering with communications.

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus, un-patch and re-patch a game then test it, does that make a difference?

    I even try installing both the game engine and the game manager in the same computer, I unpatch and repatch the game and nothing, the only thing left to do in your list is disable the windows defender, is the only antivirus I got, but, it was working that way, the only change I made before it stop working was upgrade to 2.5

    What do you mean by "I even try installing both the game engine and the game manager in the same computer"?

    A standard SimTools install includes game engine and the game manager being installed on the same computer.

    I'm sorry, my sim is a 2PC installation system, https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/finally-started-my-2dof-sim.13594/ from the very begining, even from the first tests, it always worked that way. I made a single PC installation yesterday to see if I can make it work again but nothing.

    @Jean Paul Andrade,
    (There was a bug in v2.5 for the serial output plugin if your using it.)
    Please make sure your using v2.5.1 if you are using serial output.

    Hi @yobuddy thanks for the info, I managed to unistall completly the simtools and reinstall the version 2.4 from scratch. So you say that I can now use the 2.5.1 version and the issue with the serial interface is fixed?
