Hi Value1,

Tested this plugin today. I have patched as admin etc but there is no motion in game. I get movement for a brief second during the loading screens. If I exit the game, game manager crashes with the following error;

Hi @Sarge
Please try the new plugin V2.0.2.1
The error when exiting the game might still be there but you should get motion now

Hi @value1

Finally got round to giving this a try today. There's no motion at all now, not even in the loading screens. The crash is still there as you said in your last post. Just a shot in the dark but it wouldn't be anything to do with this game requiring Origin to play would it? Just a thought as Burnout (Origin version) seems to have a similar issue.

Cheers,

Yes, it works with the version downloaded from Origin

I'll have another try tomorrow

Game manager is turning blue when I launch the game and doesn't crash until I close the game. Will try and gather some better information. It may be something to do with my setup as I can't get Burnout to run with motion neither (Steam & Origin versions).

I'll update with any progress.

Cheers

Well' if you don't run the Origin version, the chances are tiny!

Hello,

Right, I've spent the morning messing around with this. I have motion working now but needed to follow these steps;

1. I found that Windows 10 was blocking the plugin, so right clicked the zipped file, selected properties and checked the 'unblock' box at the bottom right hand corner.




2. Re-patched the game via Game Manager in admin mode as detailed on the patch notes.

3. Ran the game (Origin Version) and only had motion in the loading screens. Once the game loaded, there was no motion.

4. I left the game running, alt-tab to windows then closed and restarted Game Manager.

5. SUCCESS!!! Motion now works in game.

Hope that helps anyone who is having trouble like I was.

Thanks for the help @value1

Cheers

Hi @yobuddy

I installed the plugin with the updater, not manually.
The only reason why I thought the check box may have something to do with it was because after I manually checked the box, I seemed to get some movement during loading screens with that particular plugin.
I still had to restart Game Manager once the game loaded up, but since those were the steps I taken to get it to work on my setup, I decided to detail every step I taken in the process just to be thorough.
I didn't previously try to restart Game Manager while the game was running before I checked the box. So it may well just be a coincidence.

Cheers,

Thank you, @Sarge. I just wanted to confirm that those exact steps you took worked for me.

I also had to shutdown Game Manager and restart while game was running to achieve motion. Thanks for the tip Sarge..
