    That sounds very good! :)

    EDIT ..and works.
    The Game also shuts down in a normal Way again, when Steam is in offline Mode.
    Good Job!

    All that's left is to update systems related to cars.

    Not yet.
    But there currently/temporarily (hopefully) is a [previous-moddev] Beta available, with the old DevMode, where the FFB worked as it always did.

    There seem to be different Problems for different Users.
    In my Case (Logitech G920), in the default Build, i have to lower the FFB Multiplier to 0.03, to get an almost same Feeling that i did have with the Setting 1.0 in the Past.
    With 1.0 it is much too strong and not drivable.

    Have you checked if your wheel´s nM in the json file is correct?

    "Steering torque capability":2.5,
    "Steering torque capability#":"The maximum torque capability of the wheel (in Nm, obviously)",

    That is the same as it always was, i've never changed that.
    As said, there seem to be different Problems, where e.g. other Users have no FFB at all anymore, if i remember it right.
    When a User doesn't change anything and something doesn't work anymore, i would say that a Bug did appear in such Cases. :)
    And S397 is aware of it, so we've gotten the [previous-moddev] Beta.

    Yes, I know, but sometimes with updates some values get reset and don´t correspond to the correct settings.

    The broken FFB in devmode is a known issue, not related to settings.

    *oops, as redapg said :p

    ISI "daily bread"

    If the "drive" never offset this we really would be orphans.

    finally updated. The Game refuses to launch, it does get to the RF2 logo then black screen and CTD without any error message or whatever.
    I need to check again where are launch logs and stuff to post here on the forum, if someone can remind me

    Nolive, try re naming bin 64 and then do file integrity check on Steam to renew bin 64.

    thanks
    actually its fixed a different way.
    i forgot to check this but RF2 is very sensitive for me to Vsync settings. I need to have Vsync ON in the NVIDIA CP for my Game to start and not CTD (same with LMU)

    sorry for having jumped wagon and post on this Update thread.

    Anyone know whats happening here? was working fine before the update.


    There are no advanced launch options setup
    Steam warns me that the game tried to insert some at launch time ,
    +path=.. +workshopsync
    and each time I click continue it just adds another set
    +path=.. +workshopsync +path=.. +workshopsync
    View attachment upload_2024-8-31_7-21-35.png

    and ultimately fails and cannot be launched.

    "if it aint broke.. dont fix it" how can i revert to working copy?
    (already did a steam file verify, no difference)

    This always happens when the game fails to run from steam, it launches again with the same/repeated parameters (those parameters are normal).

    Something about the update might have caused an issue, but it's not an issue with the updated version - hope that makes sense.

    If you search for that error message on here you'll find heaps.
