LWFF Profiler and WinVROC

Hi there! I've problems with Logitech Profiler (3.30 drivers) and WinVROC. I've created a specific profile for GPL Online (pointing to GPLLaunch.exe), but when join a race sometimes (60% times) don't load correctly the profile, I must disconnect from race, reconnect and pray for the profile loads. I tried loading the Profiler before WinVROC, WinVROC before Profiler, closing Profiler before joinning a race, etc.., and sometimes works correctly but seems totally random, I've to reconnect several times until the profile loads. Anyone can help me? Thanks. JaviF Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I have the same problem. I've followed all the tips from the various webpages (Eric Cote's, Alison's...) and it's still a crapshoot. I even tried creating a new profile and attaching it to a dosbox, then launching a dosbox before joining a race. No go... the profile only seems to work while the focus is on the profiled application... argh!!

And my consistency is next to none. I've also tried everything suggested and more, but to no avail. Surely there must be a way round this silly problem! Has anyone contacted Logitech or even VROC about this? I think maybe I will, because it doesn't look like no one here on this NG seems to know a definitive solution, or a even the cause for this problem. Mauricio.

Same for me. I even had some profile-changes WITHIN A RACE. (This stopped, when I screwed my Voodoo 2000 back to 143MHz) Still GPL doesn't activates the wished profile in 90% of the starts. I already get used to the procedure: Join a race jump into the car check the shifter jump out reassign the shifter buttons It doesn't kill me, but I would like to have the left/right view and the most-needed comments at my fingertips Jens On Wed, 23 Feb 2000 17:00:20 GMT, PaiK <[email hidden]> wrote:

I sometimes have the problem you mentioned. In my case, I load Profiler in my Startup group, so it always loads first. I have noticed however, that each time the profiler failed to "take", it has turned out that Windows had launched some stupid scheduled task like the disk defragger, disk cleaner upper thingy, or sometimes the Windows Update Critical Update Notification dialog. Usually those dialogs show up behind WinVROC... the next time you test and don't get your profiles loaded, close GPL, minimize WinVROC and check if you have anything running in the background.

Not here, no more progs running when failed. JaviF

I'm using the profiler for minimum sensivity in brakes, not for mapping keys. I just left blank the buttons in profiler (not keys assigned), and in GPL I assigned the shifter, left/right, etc... to the buttons, so load or not the profile the keys always work. I don't know if you can understand me, my english really suck. JaviF

Hmm, Depending on the profile active or not, GPL assigns either Z and X or Button x and button y (don't know the numbers now) to the left/right view. This is BECAUSE I have assigned something in the profiler. I'll erase the assignments for shifter and left/right and see again. Sounds promising. What I still don't have then are the PO/shift-R on the wheel, but that is the less important. Thanks for the hint Jens On Fri, 25 Feb 2000 17:08:10 GMT, [email hidden] (PaiK) wrote:

Also here, really no other progs running in the background. Probably we have to look for our PC setup and the drivers we use, the problem could also be there. MB Soundcard Graphiccard ... I'll have ti check mine later, since my home PC is down.
