2.2H not working properly with Rfactor 2 (64bit)

[jonrarit]

Bump...... any other ideas boys?

[Bose321]

We're thinking we have found something. I hope to have some news on that soon.

Great - I've had exactly the same problem and for the same length of time. I just did a fresh install of 910 today and it is still there. The on-screen TrackMap plugin has no problems whatsoever with the (missing in Fanaleds 2.2h) feeds, so it does look to me as if we need 2.2i

[jonrarit]

any new on sorting this guys?

[Bose321]

Could you test if this is still present in Fanaleds 2.3? Make sure to update the plugins as well.

It doesn't seem to have worked for me. I followed the automatic uninstall/update route, then opened the link to the supplied plugins and copied them over the previous versions in the relevant rf2 folders (although I only run in 64 bit mode).

The console is definitely running on 2.3 and I've swapped a couple of the working data feeds (speed) to different segments just to make sure that the config etc. was being updated.

What surprised me a little was that the date stamp on the plugins wasn't from this year - they are showing as 12/11/2014. I've just deleted them and reinstalled to be certain. Are these time stamps correct?

[MileSeven]

Correction! (How embarassing!)

In checking the date stamps on the plug ins, I had to perform a reinstall just now. I then thought it worth trying the 32bit version - and it worked! I then tried the 64bit version and it now seems to work - I've got Position and current Lap Time up and running again at least.

It all points to user-error on my part on the initial upgrade to 2.3 - I'll be interested to hear if JonRar gets it to work straight out of the box - or whether he has to do some manual deletion/reinstalls.

Anyway - thanks for giving this problem some attention - it's great to have all the data back

Oh that's great! Lets hope the issue is now solved for everyone. Have fun racing this weekend.

Mmm. Might have spoken too soon

The 32-bit version does seem to be working - and reliably - for me. In 64-bit mode, although I now get non-zero values for lap time, position etc. (using the same segment mapping etc. - I just turn 'force 32-bit mode' on/off in rf2) - the values I get are flaky.

The position indicator sometimes shows P64 (starting at the back of a 15-car grid) and sometimes P15 (multiple restarts of rf2/races). Whichever it decides on, it doesn't update when I pass someone.

The lap time display is similar - it seems to choose a random value (possibly whatever was last showing when I ran it in 32-bit mode) - but not update it.

The speed and revs readouts (revs on right segments - showing leading zeros) are live, accurate and do update just fine.

For what it is worth, I have tested both with and without my other usual 64-bit plug ins (I move them out of the relevant folder rather than just rely on switching them off in-game).

I'll be interested to see what JonRarit finds when he tries it. I'll keep testing to see if I can narrow this down.

I'm struggling with this too ..all I can get are sector 4 and sector 5 times...even when they are not assigned.

Question for the admin - If the 64bit plugins have just been updated as per the changelog ...... why are they dated November 2014?
