What's my console's IP address?
Go to Settings -> Network -> View Connection Status.

This might show as "Automatic" if you have no internet connection. Ensure you can actually boot the game up, then check again.
My car is just driving in a straight line at 30mph?
Check your event.
ClubmanSharp uses the Tokyo Expressway Clubman Cup Plus event, not the Japanese Clubman Cup 550 event.
My lap times are much slower than the expected times listed on the wiki homepage!
Verify every single part of your tune against those listed.
- Lancer Evolution IV GSR '96 (expected laps 1m14s to 1m21s)
- Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo '91 (expected laps 1m16s to 1m24s)
- Subaru WRX STI Type S '14 (expected laps 1m16s to 1m24s)
Also check your controls and assists are correct: You must set Pedal Controls to R2/L2, Steering to Left Stick, and Nitrous to R3 button. Assists are set to automatic gearing, TCS 0, ASM off, Countersteer Assist off.
I keep losing the Clean Race Bonus!
First, try rerolling your AI grid by exiting the event and reentering. If you've done that multiple times and you keep getting bad AI, you can reduce the Max Throttle setting to artificially slow the bot down so that it doesn't lap the AI near the end of the race. I recommend using a value of around 240 to be safe for almost all grids.
What does "Current State" mean?
This is what ClubmanSharp believes to be the current "menu" state of the game. As it does not use pixel checks, it must use the changes in received data to determine what's happening. The states are:
- Pre Race (the menu with Start, Settings and other options)
- Race (driving on track)
- Race Paused (the game is paused while driving on track)
- Race Result (after crossing the finish line: receiving credits, Daily Workout tickets, etc.)
- Replay (the replay that is shown after finishing the race and receiving rewards)
- Post Race (the menu with Replay, Retry and Exit options)
If the "Current State" does not match what is happening on screen, report this in an issue alongside a screenshot of your game (ie. the Remote Play window). In future updates, ClubmanSharp may be able to recover from this with your help.
Sometimes due to network issues or the delays being too short, the bot will get stuck on the Post Race screen. This will start Stuck Detection (Stk) mode, where 3 states attempt to resolve this situation:
- Stk Unknown (state believed to be Pre Race or Post Race, attempting Pre Race)
- Stk Post Race (attempt failed, so we're trying Post Race now)
- Stk Pre Race (now trying Pre Race after we were Stk Post Race)
If the game stays stuck, the bot will give up and show an error message. However, most of the time, this sequence should resolve the situation.
What does "Estimated Credits" mean?
As it does not use pixel checks, ClubmanSharp has no way of knowing if it acquired a Clean Race Bonus.
As such, this value is:
(1st Place race reward + (Clean Race Bonus × estimated Clean Race Bonus success chance)) × races completed
(70,000 Cr + (35,000 Cr × 98%)) × races completed
What's the point of HidHide / my mouse is moving around! Help!
HidHide is a tool that can only show controller inputs to specific applications. This allows you to only provide Remote Play with access to the virtual controller.
To use HidHide, open the HidHide Configuration Client (search for it in the start menu).
First, add RemotePlay.exe from whereever it's installed (usually "Program Files (x86)\Sony\PS Remote Play") to the Applications list by clicking the + button in the bottom right.
Then, in the Devices tab, tick the "HID-compliant game controller" option while ClubmanSharp is active. Finally, click "Enable device hiding" in the bottom right. Now ClubmanSharp only has access to Remote Play, and can't interact with anything else!
