It looks like im on the wrong track.lolI thought it was pan american race 1,the link says its special track x so i,ll give it a try tonight.
 
My problem is my PS4 keeps losing connection to my wifi which is ridiculous because there's nothing happening that could do that other than Sony's own pitiful wifi adapter. I got lucky and it ran ten races in a row last night but for the most part I can only get 2-3 before it disconnects. I'm just running the V1 script with timings adjusted for PS4 load times.

Edit: There are two tracks, I'm using Pan American V1.

LAN only my friend, forget about WiFi at all... never used it on any of the consoles, even PS5 that I own now is connected exclusively via LAN...

There are different scripts for both Route X and PanAm with different scripts (and different versions of said scripts).

Read up on which script and track you want to run, and good luck!

Also, if you have to update PS Remote Play try restarting your computer after installation, that should fix any issues the update might cause (at least that fixed it for me).

Unable, embedded apartment wifi. If I had my own installation they would be wired as I've always done before. My problem here is likely the PS4 itself because my laptop and cell phone both hit 200/20 and are rock solid.

I know it's not the best option, but get WiFi router that can be used as a LAN switch, basically any cheap router can do it (although don't go too cheap, TP Link is decent and they cost approx 25-30e)

Dirt Champions Sardegna Windmills 3 lapper is getting really drawn out now for me :ouch:

Running 1:20 / 1:16.xx for the remaining two laps makes it fast enough with a stock Quattro

Started using the Chapparal 2J prize car in some WTC800 events, detuned and with a little ballast - makes the 10 laps races a little more entertaining against the GR3 cars (with the magical Viper that shoots off with broken speed). Time efficient no - but more fun than leaving the console on rubber banding at oval circuits.

Would this allow me to simply plug in PS4-router/switch-PC and completely bypass the internet? I've never actually connected anything this way before.

...you put that router as close as possible to WiFi (basically where it has best signal) and simply connect LAN cables from it to any device you have, in your case PS4, and bypass problem that you currently have...

It just re-routs signal from WiFi to LAN...

Are you using an HDD PS4?
 
Posted this on psnprofiles earlier, but I'll post it here too in case it helps someone who isn't over there.

Made an account to thank @Septomor. You Sir, are an absolute legend. I have VERY basic knowledge of AHK scripting, so I can't be of help to you there, but I am willing to stream for you or let you remote in to the PC I'm using with TeamViewer at any time if you need to test stuff. You can hit me up on discord, just PM me and I'll give your my discord handle.



Now, onto my experience with this and hopefully I can help others.



My config below



PS5:

720P (less strain on PS5's GPU, so lower power usage and heat generated. Less wear and tear on the console)

Gigabit Ethernet

HDR = Off

RGB = Limited

Black option = Off (Sorry, can't remember the actual setting name right now)



PC:

Monitor resolution: 1920x1080 at 100% screen scaling

Gigabit Ethernet

Remote Play = latest update

Windows 10 version 21H2



Script = 0.701 using Pixel search method.



Working flawlessly for the last 30 minutes or so, without needing to mess with ColorP1 or ColorP2. It just works.



I started setting this up last night, and I couldn't get the pixel method to work. Had to resort to using the first original timing based script which worked perfectly til sometime after midnight when I can only presume the daily mileage popping up screwed it up.



So how did I get pixel method to work? Septomor mentioned resolution and that made it click for me. The PC's monitor is 1440p (2560x1440) and the script is probably programmed with 1920x1080 in mind. That trips the script up when it looks for purple at a known spot, but because the resolution is different that known spot isn't where it should be. I haven't tested this yet because the script is working so perfectly that I don't want to touch it, but you should be able to confirm if your setup is ok by doing the following:



1) Start the script once hovering over retry as normal. This should shrink and send the PS Remote Play window to the top left of your monitor, and start the race.

2) Close the script completely, and complete the race manually yourself.

3) After the race, at the results screen with the purple banner at the bottom, open the script again.

4) Click "ColorP1" and input the code it gives you into a hex color code checker such as https://www.color-hex.com/



That should return the same purple as you see in the race results. If it does not, you have an issue likely due to screen resolution or scaling on your PC's monitor.



And most important of all, READ THE WHOLE THREAD. Every post! You're not the first to run into an issue, and the question you're about to ask has likely been asked 5 times already.



Hope this helps! And again, huge thanks to Septomor!



Edit: Opponent AI difficulty is set to hard as that's how I play the game. Not sure if it makes a difference, but it may.
 
Nah, not at all. It's no different than rubber banding a controller. PD has no way of identifying how inputs are coming in.
What do you mean "no way" ? Inputs are precise to the milisecond for every input how could they not know ?
 
...well, since you are mentioning bans, what about years of rubberbanding over and over through various GT games, not to mention GTS and current GT7 up until this script... in fact, what this script do is basically rubberbanding, and then instead of you to exit and re enter the race, it does it for you, not directly on console, but over PS remote play... Maybe I am playing it from my work, so this should be banned to, me playing from work?
 
What do you mean "no way" ? Inputs are precise to the milisecond for every input how could they not know ?
I mean, yes. They could see repeated precise inputs if they wanted to. Do you really think they're observing every player's gameplay inputs to issue bans for grinding races? There's absolutely no way.

But, I'm not here to convince anyone to do something they aren't comfortable with. Just trying to help those who want to get this working before PD makes this the second race in the championship to further gimp people's ability to earn credits in this game.

Personally, I'm 100% certain they won't ban anyone for this. And if I were to get banned, GT7 is the only reason I have a PS5. I'll sell it and go back to sim racing on PC.
 
Not sure i understand.Im using a regular ps4 pro to try the script not my ps5.
On PS4, you have to adjust a few timings within the script to account for longer load times. Did you make these edits?

There are three lines in the script that you have to edit, lines 193, 206, and 224. Those lines are related to the wait times for loading screens between races and menus. Change those line values to 41500, 12000, and 40000 respectively. I found this in the original V1 thread:

https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic...dits-per-hour/?do=findComment&comment=2525317

With these values my script has worked on my HDD PS4 a maximum of about 10 times in a row, but again I keep having connection issues. Every now and then it will hiccup, I assume because of a connection interruption that threw off timing. But 10 races is a pretty good sample size so if your connection is rock solid I would think these timings have the potential to run all night long.

There are a few markers I've noticed that dictate whether or not the script is running correctly. After the race finished, a results screen pops up. After a second or two it should scroll down to the bottom, then click X repeatedly through the next few menus, payout, etc. It will come to a menu with a "replay" and "next race" button. Within a couple second it should click right and then X to select "next race". Sometimes this doesn't happen correctly. It'll either select the replay or take too long, and if either of those happens it's going to **** up. But if it clicks through that sequence smoothly then you're off to the races, literally. Full disclosure, I have no clue how to read or write scripts so I have no idea why it messes up occasionally but I'm assuming it's always my connection issues.

No i didnt,i`ll have a look after tea time.Im not pc literate so im not going to keep on trying,i`ll try it on the ps5 to see if it works on that.Thanks for your help anyway.👍

For PS5 users, I had to do it via Timing because by Pixel kept playing the replay after the race was done.

Also, annoyingly, I set it up at like 10 PM, went to bed, and then remembered the script broke because the daily mileage adds in another button press thats not accounted for :lol: woke up to only 2 mil and like a couple hours wasted.
 
I'm using an older v1.0 script as I had issues where it would stop at the results screen or looped the replay. I didn't try the timing option, but this version is working perfectly so I won't touch it, haha. Already over 3mil in credits this morning and I was down to less than 200k when I started. I'll be running this pretty much non-stop every night, buy LD cars, lather, rinse and repeat.

I'm running the script on my PS4 and it works perfectly. The script is great, but the damn game itself keeps getting hung up on loading the second race in the championship. Completely random with no pattern. Sometimes after 3 cycles, sometimes it will go three hours. Really annoying to have to keep restarting the game. I have had absolutely zero issues running the game on my PS5, but the PS4 version seems so unreliable.

They dont need to look at any inputs. All they need to check is how many daily kms someone has driven. No way you could do over 2,3k+ in a day by yourself I'm pretty sure.

They never cared about rubber banding to earn credits, and they won't start caring now. No reason to be paranoid about big brother Sony/PD spying on your gameplay habits.
