    Did you used the GameVibe – Vibe Creator?
    I noticed that some sounds didnt produce any vibrations.
    Your sound system must be setup to create low frequencies too (down to 5Hz).

    Hello everyone and excuse me the probably "stupid" question: is it worth changing the simulator by adding amplifiers and bodyshakers and using SimVibe? Currently I have simply connected the low-frequency channel to a pair of bodyshakers ...
    Does the implementation of SimVibe significantly improve the experience?
    Thank you :cheers

    Do you mean Game Vibe as Simvibe is supported on a different website?

    If you mean Game Vibe then yes it’s Awesome makes a big difference to just using Game sounds to activate body shakers !!

    If you mean simvibe then I can’t answer that as I’ve never used it.

    Yes, I apologize for the mistake;
    I meant exactly "Game Vibe" (as a complement of TimTools), as the title of this thread.
    Thank you

    Same issue here... I tried to set on different sound cards, I can setup all the config, tuning center is working but not vibes in any games (AC, Pcars, KRP, DiRT Rally, NoLimits...). Tested with and without admin, still no vibes...

    I will try.
    I have the "bip" when the game is starting, like something is wrong with Simtools... Is it possible to know why there is this bip ?

    Hi all!!.

    I just discovered yesterday that GameVibe was released finally, and of course I immediately started playing around with it.

    Note: I am on PS4, so I am using @vthinsel 's great UDP plugins (pcars and AC).

    I noticed that Pcars UDP plugin passes only RPM as GameVibe data, and actually it works wonderfully with shakers.

    Assetto corsa UDP plugin instead does not pass anything.

    I thought that GameVibe was based on data already available at Simtools, and therefore it wouldn't need any additional plugin modifications to work.
    Or maybe in order to operate correctly (e.g. to have chassis vibrations mapped) it is needed to somehow touch the plugin code?

    Thank you very much. Great improvement from immersion point of view!!!!!!!

    Game Vive requires existing plugins to be updated to support it.

    Yes, if an interface fails to startup, you get a Beep beep.

    Hi,

    I cannot run Game Vibe. It always shows the message

    "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound, Version=1.0.2902.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound, Version=1.0.2902.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

    When I start the application, it shows this message, but allows me to click on "Continue". If I continue, the application opens, but if I click on Sound Card Setup or Vibe Creator, it freezes.

    I have already tried installing DirectX SDK from Microsoft, SlimDX SDK and even reinstalling Windows 10, but cannot fix it.

    Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you.
