Track IR stuttering
Anyone know of any fixes for this?

EDIT: I managed to solve the issue by changing video processing mode, in camera settings, from Precision to Standard. Solved the issue completely and TrackIR works great while flying in Arma.

Clean sensor and reflector.

Update all software.

Run sfc /scannow as admin to check and fix disk integrity. Do defrag.

Check that it's allowed in WinDef firewall (probably incorrect but there might be overwrite code happening. idk wild guess there. lol).

It might be a memory issue. AV can do that. Kill all other unnecessary background programs using "Task Manager" and/or "services.msc" and/or WinDefender Firewall.

Exactly how is it stuttering? The app itself is showing the camera view of the dots and model rotatation/translation stuttering? Or the ingame view is not as smooth? There is a preciscion mode option in the settings.

Other than that, there is I think a way for the data stream to be interupted if you have both a USB 1 device (mouse or keyboard) and a USB 2 device (trackIR camera) in the same hub. They have to combine to the slowest common denominator data rate. Also having a USB storage device like a USB-stick or USB powered harddrive doesn't help the camera gettings it's data to the PC in a sufficient rate.

The best fix is to limit your framerate to 60 FPS exactly. The reason is that the TrackIR 5 updates at 120 Hz and to get smooth motion you need your game frame rate to either divide or multiply the 120 Hz by an integer. 60 FPS is the only practical choice.

I actually managed to solve the issue by changing one of the camera settings. Switching video processing mode from precision to standard fixed the issue completely, unfortunately you need to switch it every time you use it since it always defaults back to precision even on custom settings. Using callmetomme's (youtube) settings.

So thankfully it was an easy fix, even with my framerate being pretty all over the place, I'm playing with a beast PC 13th gen CPU, 32gb 5600mhz RAM so I can usually get well over 100fps while playing Arma although it fluctuates as much as you would expect anywhere between 70 and 180, without effecting trackIR performance oddly.

Thank you for all your replies.
