    I have windows 7 64 bit, and have run dirt 3 with 2089 and 21013 beta versions of x-sim. Runs fine. Now if I can figure out why GRID crashes randomly!

    @bsft, you already mentioned that you did not install the lattest dirt 3 updates... It seems to be related... Maybe the combinaison of lattest x-sim releases and lattest dirt 3 patch...

    Bleco, thats correct, i did not install any dirt3 patches. The game works do I am not going to mess with it.
    It is GRID I am having trouble with to get to run properly.

    Hi, I found that it's true that the problem of having the game freezing at finish line is caused by extradata 1 + DIRT 3 patched. Extradata 0 game works but I have no motion with new versions of x-sim...
    I have steam version of the game but I backed up the original files before any updates so it's almost like if I had one boxed version (unpatched) :yes: but the problem is that if I do not update the game I cant save my progress and play online...

    How can I get the x-sim release 2070 or any older than the latest to try? I tryed to download older versions at download section but all links are broken...

    :cheers:

    Hello all, I bought 2 days ago full retail box version of Dirt3. Is there any way to not update this game but use save function in game? Now when I start game it tries automatically download updates but I don't want them because then motion chair is not working anymore. When I press no then I just cannot log to my Live account. Is there any solution for this?

    Try to have the net disconnected as a start when you start the game.
    Also are you using a GFWL offline account?

    Thats weird, I use an offline account, I start the game, press the home button and select the account to save the games. Unless you have to start all over again with new games with an offline account. :?

    DIRT3 & Sender not communicating

    After few hours of trying different settings and forum search, I turn to the Wise ones!
    I Can Not make Force sender communicate with dirt3.
    Using Dirt2 plugin and change extradata to 1 and still no luck.
    this is what my config file looks like:
    <motion enabled=true ip=127.0.0.1 port=20777 delay=1 extradata=1 />
    </hardware_settings_config>

    on the outsim the ck mark for game pause never goes away even if I'm actually playing the game.
    Can not get any speed,RpM , or any data.
    I'm Running sender, Profiler, and game on same pc.

    Also changed extradata to 0 and no luck.
    is there anywhere I can change the Port?
    How would I know what port to use?

    Can someone guide me the right direction Please!!! :sos:

    Try 20777 to 20778.
    Everything else should be fine.
