forza-telemetry app never recognizes game

[Caboose12000]

Describe the bug The app opens but never displays any values from Forza. I made sure 'Data Out' is set to 'ON', IP ADDRESS is 127.0.0.1, IP PORT is 5300, and I tried both the latest release of the exe and cloning the repo, same result both times, all values stay at 0.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. follow the steps in the quick start guide
2. when the app opens, it never shows data despite driving around in game

Expected behavior When driving with the app open and UDP Out settings enabled, data values displayed in the app should increase or decrease depending on how the car drives in game.

Screenshots I'm not sure if these screenshots are helpful, but here they are anyway View of app not showing data: View of settings (maybe I entered something wrong?):

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 (Version 21H2, OS Build 19044.1706)
• Game Forza Horizon 4 (via steam)

Additional context (again not sure any of this is helpful sorry)

• I tested FH4 UDP Out with the android mobile app 'Forza Dashboard (telemetry)' and it was able to correctly show my cars speed in real time
• Forza and both the .exe and cloned repo version of the app are on my HDD instead of the SSD that the OS boots on
• The cloned repo version said there were a bunch of npm vulnerabilities, not sure if that's related but I couldn't figure out how to fix them
• I tried installing .NET 6.0, no effect
• I tried installing the Win8 Loopback Utility (even though I'm using the steam version, idk I'm out of ideas). Forza wasn't even listed to check or uncheck

Thanks I just wanna say this app looks really cool and I'm excited to get it working on my machine! Thanks for making it!

@gungurbuz @Caboose12000 hey guys, sorry this took so long. I recently started a new job at Microsoft as a software engineer (woohoo!), but I haven't had as much time to work on my side projects (boo.).

I don't have a solution so far, but I'm happy to troubleshoot this issue with you guys over Discord if needed.

I have some questions that might help narrow down the issue:

• Has the app been given firewall access? At some point you should've encountered a screen that looks like this:
• Make sure you download the .NET 6.0 SDK, not the runtime
• Also make sure t's the x64 version of .NET SDK

Hey congrats on your new job! I would love some troubleshooting help when you have time, my discord is Caboose12000#3908

This was the solution that worked for @Caboose12000: https://github.com/austinbaccus/forza-telemetry/issues/50#issuecomment-1008172636 (Ignore steps 1 and 2)

[gungurbuz]

thanks, i’ll try it tomorrow morning. Also congrats on the job! It’s always nice seeing more skilled programmers get into nice jobs

I am having the same issue, the app looks lovely and I would love it to work.

Tried everything, followed the steps.

@six-shooter try running dotnet --info and see if version 6.0 pops up. If it's not in your list of installed SDKs, then that's probably the issue. Sometimes you have to delete the dotnet folder from Program Files (x86) for it to be correctly recognized.
