Discontinued OtterHud - A custom WebHud

Hi Guys.

I'm having trouble installing otterhud myself, every time i try use the dash.exe program I get the error message attached.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this? as i would like to try and use otterhud in VR

 

even trying to run otterhud thru crewchief it dosnt want to work for me checked my onedrive no previous dash.exe files saved there either

 

Well, is Crewchief working for you? Did you set up the launch parameter in Steam?

 

Hey

Yes everything that was asked off on the original page i have done and it still wont work ive enabled web hud intergration ive put in various different parameters in steam and nothing i stopped using otterhud years ago thought id give it another try and nope

 

Do you see a box in the top left corner while you are driving? Can you make a screenshot of your Steam launch parameters?

 

Hey Majuh

Please see the following attached pictures.

any help would be greatly appriciated mate

 

Hi! First of all thank you for all the work, this hud is really great! Just an info, I would use a button on my wheel to show/hide the hud, is there a way I could bind it?

 

The configuration seems to be correct. Are you always running CrewChief? If yes, you could try not running it and only running dash.exe instead.

Are you running any other software in the background? Maybe something is blocking the port being used by dash.exe / CrewChief.

 

Can you post the Crew Chief log?

 

You setup crewchief wrong
It is not "Enable Websocket"
Its called "Enable Web-Hud integration"
Disavle websocket option and enable the correct one, that should do it

You could use a software called Joy2Key to do so

 

hi Otternas3

Still no luck I've done that as asked and it still says it requires dash.exe top left i assume my steam parameters are correct?

 

If you see that message your parameter is correct.
Contact me on discord if you can.

 

@OtterNas3, I created a web app which shows you the current ranked races, and I have a feature idea which I need your help to implement, can you look for a DM sent by me in discord?

 

hey OtterNas3 contacted you on discord

 

Quick question - I'm rebuilding my system and I have a backup of the old C: drive. Does anyone know the default path where OtterHud settings are saved?

 

It should be saved within the whole RaceRoom folder in your Documents.

 

Thanks Majuh... yeah I assumed that but when I copied that folder over the settings either weren't there or accessed by the HUD.

It's no big deal - took me 5 minutes to get it back to how I like it.

 

Hello. Could you solve this issue?
I have exactly the same problem as you.

 

Hi Sutee

i managed to solve this problem by reinstalling windows and everything worked fine. otternas3 did everything even remotely accessed my pc and nothing could be done once i reinstalled it worked fine. longwinded i know but it was the only way i had around the issue and its working flawlessly now with no issues what so ever

thanks otternas3

 

#Update: I can confirm windows reinstall solves the problem, OtterHUD now works flawlessly with CrewChief. The only difference I noticed, that I received an approval window from Windows Firewall, during running dash.exe/CrewChief. So the issue might be with some setting of Windows Firewall (however, I tried to run dash.exe last time with turned off firewall/adblock/virus blocker).

Hi D. Westbury,
Thanks for quick response. Reinstalling windows... uhhh... I thought there might be a more elegant solution.
I tried already to reinstall R3E (also to different drive), but no luck. R3E WebHUD dash.exe also shows the same errors, not just the OtterHUD version.
On the other hand, relevant error from CrewChief is the following:


Thanks again, I hope this issue can be solved in the future.
