Question After the DR 2.0 update and support for VR, the motion simulator plugin seems to be invalid.

    Today, DIRT RALLY 2.0 has been updated to version 1.7. It can already support VR, but the motion simulator has not responded. I tried to patch the plugin again. It is still useless. I don't know if you have the same situation, or only Can I wait for the next version of the plugin to be released?

    I just purchased the game, motions works fine for me.
    As I am using a seatmower I have not needed motion cancellation, but this seems to need it...

    This is impossible.

    After the dirt rally 2.0 was updated to version 1.7, the new hardware_settings_config file was regenerated when the game was launched. This file is not the same as the old version.

    Oh, I seem to know how to do it, thank you for inspiring me.

    I removed the patch first, then restarted the game, generated a new 25th version of the hardware_settings_config file, and then re-patched. It may be useful now, but it's too late. Try it again tomorrow.

    Hello, I have solved this problem now, everything is as perfect as before.

    First, you need to remove the plugin patch for DR2.

    Then, restart DR2 once and then patch the DR2 plugin again.

    Everything is done.

    I have been connected to Oculus rift cv1 on my computer, and I don't want to automatically launch VR every time I enter the game. In the documentation folder, find the "hardware_settings_config" file in the DR2 directory.

    Edit the contents of this file and change to the following:
    <vr enabled="false" eyeDistanceMultiplier="1.000000" lockedOrientation="false">

    I hope you enjoy yourself!

    Dirt rally 2.0 looks great in lenovo explorer in vr, but the movement with simtools only works the first stage, if you go out to the menu or load another new stage stops working, at first it flashed in game engine, disable shutdow and centering , I stop blinking but I do not soluccido the problem, only works once and I have to restart simtools to make it work again, a shame because dirt rally feels great and I do not get dizzy anything, what I do not understand is because some works them and others do not? the other games work perfectly for me.
    Greetings to all and take care, happy summer.
    aahh I forgot I used the translator excuse me.;););)

    After the 1.8 update, motion is no longer working.

    The reason seems to be, that a new file has been added:
    documents\mygames\dirtrally2.0\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config_vr.xml

    Just copy these lines from YOUR hardware_settings_config file to the _vr file:

    <motion_platform>
    <dbox enabled="false" />
    <udp enabled="true" extradata="3" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1" />
    <custom_udp enabled="false" filename="packet_data.xml" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20777" delay="1" />
    <fanatec enabled="false" pedalVibrationScale="1.0" wheelVibrationScale="1.0" ledTrueForGearsFalseForSpeed="true" />
    </motion_platform>

    And it works again :)

    Nothing continues with the same problem when changing the test or pausing to adjust simtools is lost, even if you register data there is no movement and you have to restart dirt rally to run another test, at least you can run a single test after not leaving the menu . It does not work well

    Excuse me, I use the translator.:(:(:(:(:(:(

    Is everyone that is having the problem using VR?
    (Would explain why I'm not having the issue on my test machine anyway)

    Could someone post the hardware_settings_config_vr.xml file unedited.
    If all we have to do is patch an additional file, this would be an easy fix!
    Take care,

    Oh, sorry - yes i believe it is only a problem if you are using VR. I had no problems before the update, and with the lines added it works flawlessly again :)
