How to install Pacedex

Recommended: via the Microsoft Store it's 3 steps with zero Windows warnings. Prefer the direct installer (.exe)? The full path is right below.

Let the assistant turn on telemetry

On first run, Pacedex opens the connection assistant: if F1 is on this PC, it switches the game's telemetry on in 1 click; if you play on PlayStation/Xbox, it shows exactly what to enter on the console. (You can also do it manually in the game: SettingsTelemetryUDP Telemetry on, port 20777.)

Hit the track and race! 🏎️

The dashboard opens in Pacedex's own window (PD icon on the taskbar). Jump into a session in the game: the assistant tells you the moment the first data arrives, and the overlay appears over the game by itself.

Prefer the direct installer (.exe)?

Works just as well — there's just one extra Windows warning along the way. Three steps; after installing, steps 2 and 3 above apply the same.

1

Download the installer

On pacedex.com, click Download free · Windows. The file Pacedex-Setup.exe lands in your Downloads folder.

Windows may block it — that's normal

⚠️Pacedex isn't code-signed yet, so Windows is wary of a brand-new app. It's not a virus. Just get past the warning:

a) If your browser warns the download is dangerous, click the next to the file and choose Keep.

In the browser
Pacedex-Setup.exe
Keep Discard

b) If you see the blue "Windows protected your PC" screen, click More info, then Run anyway.
