Not working / Question

[Ponei90]

Hi there! I have a few questions regarding this tool.
1.Does it work with the pirated version of the game FH5?
2.Do you need an internet connection?
3.Does the game or Windows version matter?

I've followed all the steps explained, watched the YouTube tutorial, but it still doesn't work. I added the tool to Windows Defender exclusions. I'm running it as administrator and using an Xbox controller. I turned "data output" ON, changed the IP and port, I use manual shifting in-game options and I still get the message: "The UDP server isn't receiving any data."

I'm using: Windows 10 Pro; Pirated version of the game from Steam, version 671.065; Windows Defender is permanently disabled; the controller is detectable in Control Panel.

Can you help me?

Sorry to respond this late,

1. Yes
2. No
3. IDK, it could be.

Can you try out this for-microsoft-store-version
Also, there are some discussion in our Discord server, and I recently thinking about if it was the Python language limitations, I'm gradually transforming this project into Rust-based.

I’ve tried using your tool, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to work. I followed all the steps carefully, including watching your YouTube tutorial. I've also tried the microsoft version. Here’s a breakdown of my setup and what I’ve tried so far:

Game version: Forza Horizon 5, pirated (Steam version, build 671.065)

System: Windows 10 Pro

Windows Defender: Fully disabled

Tool version: v2.3 (the one with custom tkinter GUI)

Controller: Xbox controller (detected correctly in Control Panel)

UDP settings in-game:

Data Out: ON

IP: I've tried with 127.0.0.1 and my local IP

Port: 8000

Frequency: 60Hz

Here’s what I did and checked:

I added the tool to Windows Defender exclusions and ran it as administrator.

I launched the game at the same time with the tool and drove around in free roam.

I also tested with a Python UDP listener script (binding to port 8000) to see if any UDP packets were being received – but nothing comes in.

I verified that the IP and port are correct.

I tried both port 8000 (used by the tool) and port 5606 – no difference.

My script output shows only: Listening on UDP port 8000... – but no messages from the game.

The tool also shows “The UDP server isn't receiving any data.”

So far, it looks like the game simply isn’t sending any UDP telemetry packets.

Can you please confirm whether your tool is supposed to work with this type of pirated version?
If yes, could there be anything specific I’m missing?

Thanks in advance!
