If you are running Windows version of RealDash on same local machine with the game, see this forum post first:

- Have both, game and RealDash connected on same local network.
- Find the IP address of computer running Wreckfest 2 and RealDash. If they are both running on same machine, 127.0.0.1 can be used as IP address.

  - Find game save folder, typically starts with .. Documents\My Games\Wreckfest 2\
  - open telemetry\config.json file and edit
    - “enabled” to 1
    - “ip” to ip address of a device running RealDash. If both are in same machine, use 127.0.0.1
    - Note the “port” setting as it needs to be entered into RealDash connection settings.
