Project Cars 2: Profile has successfully stopped solved with post #21778

[HairyandScary]

As topic title says, profile won't run when launching project cars 2. Shared memory and UDP are both set to project cars 1 in game, and UDP frequency has been tested at multiple values with no success.

I tested project cars 2 settings also with no success. I believe it's because the projectcars plugin in x-sim is attempting to detect if the original project cars 1 executable is running and hence stops immediately before the game even launches. Has anyone had similar problems or found a solution?

I should mention I tested project cars 1 and it ran fine using the projectcars plugin, so I believe it is strictly a problem with x-sim and project cars 2, and how the x-sim projectcars plugin is attached to the original game.

You must manual enter the game. Grey play game button must stay (avaoid launcher).
It may be possible that there is a new type of plugin, please search the forum for a link to the actual description.

Game was manually entered, and original project cars plugin was selected. There is no new available plugin for project cars 2, and if prompted x-sim automatically will select the project cars 1 plugin. The grey play button goes grey and instantly goes back to blue upon launching the game.

Have you got this working with project cars 2?

This is wrong beause you are using a launcher.

How do I avoid using the launcher?? I'm using extractor to launch the game, but the game can't launch without steam. Project Cars 1 works using the same method so why doesn't this?
