@normallard1 The problem is that you likely copied a newer build on top of an older one. There were some changes to the audio file structure with the bundle system updates.
I actually been able to get my pedals to work. Now. When I up on the course, I have a very hard time to keep the boat going straight. It always seems to want to go left or right.
But the bottom line is my thrustmaster is not the best wheel to play this mod.
@connor Sorry I didn't notice this post, what exactly is the problem? As far as I know Xbox 360 or Xbox One controllers should "just work" in windows. Maybe you need to install additional drivers? Which Xbox controller is it?
We're currently in the off season, so there probably won't be many people on right now. If there are people on the servers, they will most likely be on in the evenings.
@cole-morton I assume you have version 6.9. If so, when setting controls, make sure you're not assigning buttons to the controls with "+" and "-" next to the control's name. Scroll down until you see the same controls without the "+" and "-".
@braceru31 The server runs in the background, so you won't see it open. If you look in the Task Manager, an instance of HydroSim will be running. That's the server. You can then open the game with your main shortcut and use your server.
Sounds like you may have pulled the HydroSim.exe out of the folder group for an easy access shortcut, not sure, but it's been done by a few. That error message will show up if you do that, the HydroSim.exe must be opened in the folder group. Re-download and overwrite it again and try opening the HydroSim.exe where you find it, don't move it. you can always pull the whole group to the desktop if needed.
I'd love to help you out. I've created several of the custom boats that people will be running in our next season. You can DM here or on discord and we can talk more about what you're looking for.
