Not recognizing macros

I play mostly project cars

It seems the macros are broken for me.

I used to be able to ask for fuel as such "Add fuel 10 Liters" or Pit request by saying "Box this lap"

Neither is working. I just get a reply that crewchief doesn't understand. All other commands seem totally fine.

I thought maybe it wasn't loading the macros json correctly so I tried copying that to documents crewchief folder but that hasn't helped either.

I have also tried a few different voicepacks. En-US and EN-CA and neither helped.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Crewchief along with the voicepacks and runtimes hasn't helped either.

There might be something in the console output. Fire up the app, select the game and press 'Start' - this will load the macro file and report any errors. Post the entire log here please.

Is this pcars or pcars2?

I am playing project cars 2. Here is the output as requested. I have bolded what appears to be the causing the issue.

It's not working because you're using pcars 1 udp mode. Any reason why you're not using pcars2 shared memory mode? It really is much better.

Thanks Chief! I completely forgot I changed it when i was testing some dashboard apps. Everything is back to normal now.

I tried to command macro editor but each time i click on the button i get unhandled exception..

i tried to delete the json but it did not help the json gets recreated

thank you

clicking the "command macro editor" button? It works for me - which json did you delete? saved_command_macros.json in Documents/CrewChiefV4/ ?

which version of the app are you on?

Do you have the actual error message or EventLog .Net error?
