    Hi folks.

    I have bee using sim tools 1.3 and recently 2.1 soon after release. 13/14 months in total.
    scn5 setup and windows 10.
    Everything has been smooth but recently when turning on pc i was getting a .net framework error and it said xml. issue. I found game manager to be the issue. I set it to open on start (why else am i powering pc)

    So I tried all framework downloads but windows always stated current is latest so wouldn't install. and all repair tools were used with o prevail.
    Next I copied and pasted files from appdata location to backup on my desktop.
    uninstall simtools
    reinstall
    tested if i could open, answer was yes without error.
    no settings, so copied my app data folders back across
    then ....same error
    uninstalled reinstalled
    copied game engine folder over, started and actuators worked as expected (work in test as well) and game manager loaded but no plugins.
    copied just iracing game plugin over and now that shows
    BUT Game manager states not connected.
    I then booted iracingbut still not connected.

    can anyone help?
    i can not remember for life of me, so i need to ask...
    when does it state connected?
    prior game load?
    game loaded?
    or when you click off of replay?
    just so i know what i'm testing.

    cheers

    Did you try this buddy?

    • Close all running software applications.
    • Go to Windows Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs or Program and Features.
    • Select Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended.
    • Click Change/Uninstall, Remove or Repair.
    • Select the Repair option, click Next.
    • The wizard will perform a repair on the .NET Framework installation.
    • It is suggested to restart the Computer.
    let us know SBDESIGN,

    Details

    Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is already a part of this operating system. You do not need to install the .NET Framework 4 redistributable. <A HREF="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=164207">More information</A>.

    Same or higher version of .NET Framework 4 has already been installed on this computer.

    @Mpmo
    If you reinstalled win10, check to make sure you have .net 3.5 and below checked.
    I have 3.5 and 4.7 enabled.
    Sound like @SBDESIGN had something a bit different?
    Take care,

    @Mpmo,
    You can post pics directly in your posts buddy.
    Just drag and drop them in.
    No need for offsite postings.

    Let me look at your link.
