Hi, i have problem with this plugin. When i used flashback my sim goes to start position and don't work anymore. I must reset game.

translate that

After installing the patch, the game is started but the error comes before the race recvfrom failed with error 10022:received is not a valid argument. Remove patches, the game works. Sorry for my english.

10022: WSAEINVAL (Invalid argument).
(I was too slow, Dmraf already responded)

Ok so thats a windows socket error. Any sort of malware or virus protection running? Have you allowed all permissions? Are you running as administrator? Does this happen on all games? What version of windows? 1 computer or 2 for your setup? Has it ever worked before?

Have you made these adjustments?

Open \documents\My Games\DIRT2\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml
with an XML editor, best is editor notepad++
Change the "motion enabled" parameters to the one you see below:
motion enabled="true" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20777" delay="1" extradata="1"

Also are you running simvibe or anything other sim type software at the same time? If the above doesnt work I would close everything out that I possibly could. I think you have a sharing conflict in regards to your sockets.

For completeness:
With RecvFrom, WSAGetLastError result: WSAEINVAL, the socket is not bound (ie. prior call to bind failed).

If the program works sometimes and not others, or frequently works after a boot but fails after computer has been running a while, I'd ensure other software like Skype hasn't nab'd the port your looking for.

Their are software from SysInternals (all free, they are now owned by Microsoft) called TCP View (tcpview) that will show which processes are currently in control of which ports (both TCP and UDP).

If all else fails, ProcessMonitor (also from SysInternals, and free) can show you all the TCP/UDP activity for all processes, and most importantly, even if software isn't written to give an error message for a bind that fails (they nearly always succeed), you can click on it and get a call stack and error information.

It also allows for tracing down what's writing to the registry, why a file didn't get saved correctly, etc., etc., etc. It's easy to use, when you consider exactly what it's doing.

Thanks guys! Here it helped Codemasters Dirt 3 Plugin

@value1 can you make this gamedash working ? thanks

"DashApp Data: values for instruments are not implemented." and actually there is not a lot of other data available for Dirt 2 from Codemasters (at least not with extradate=0; does Dirt2 support extradata=1? Can't remember, this game is 8 years old…)

i tried like a monkey to use dirt3 plugin for dash support and when i start race. the seat with 2dof ejected me to the floor hahahahahaha

please make this game dash work with simtools2.0

Hello you can help me I would like to recover this plugin car my boy loves this game but I am brand new on this forum and so I can not download it for lack of coins If someone could give me the pleasure of helping me to have more credit it would be really nice

@chat2c there are many ways to earn coins, you could buy a package, or start a build thread and show off your rig. Easier than begging in the forums. Please read the FAQ section on how to participate to earn coins.

As I say I am new here I participate and participate for the future

I made my presentation and I created my post of my simulator and now that I know your forum I will follow you

I do not beg but the plugin that is provided unfortunately does not help me because my boy is not big enough to be interested in automotive simulation but it is rather the genre arcade games

If only were able to have the choice

As for paying to contribute to the good development I will do it without hesitation but I must admit that I am blocking in my situation I can not play my boy and it is well damage

Excuse me in advance for my language but I am french and I use google translate to read and to express to me

No worries @chat2c, English is my native language and I do not speak it very well either And of course you are very welcome here at XSimulator.net. Adding more information to your build thread would help you to get coins, the more you participate the more likely it is that someone will transfer you some coins. Cute kid by the way, wish my daughter were still little
