SimHub Troubleshootings
If Somehow SimHub won't work anymore or does not start here is a list of instructions which should solve the problem.
- Make sure to have the .net Framework 4.8 Runtime is installed : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net48
- Make sure the your system is up to date (Windows 10/windows 11), depracated OS versions (Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 ...) are not supported.
This is a known wpf issue caused by apps using mahimicosd.dll (a third party overlay component): https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/707
It comes in many audio software suites :
- Sonic app (ASUS)
- Asus Rog Phoebus Sonic studio v1.1.14
- ....
There might be other softwares using the same technology and breaking wpf, the hardest part is to locate it and uninstall it
Due to the multiple ways used by simhub in order to read data from the games (UDP/TCP/In memory/Shared memory), some antiviruses can detect simhub as a virus/malware. You can report the false positive to your antivirus vendor (even if most of the time they won't care about it :( ) and white list SimHub
I've moved manually the install directory and/or the installer can't start anymore (previous installation disk missing)
If you have moved your install directory or the disk does not exists anymore you can simply reinstall simhub using the /DIR command line switch over the installer exe specifying the new install location :
SimHubSetup_9.4.4.exe /DIR "d:\MySimHubInstall"This will proceed like any regular update and replace the install location with the new one.
Please follow these guides in the order they are ordered and must be executed in the given order
