Is TrackIR working?

[ImaginationToForm]

Hello. I bought game from watching CohhCarnage play. :) I have TrackIR software/hardware up and running but nothing seems to happen in game with TrackIR turned on. I'm flying with cockpit view.

[Chico Rodriguez]

Yep, works great! I think you have to turn it on in the options.

[ImaginationToForm]

Do I run the TrackIR software too? I had turned it on in game and turning my head does nothing.

[Chico Rodriguez]

Yes, you always must run the Track IR software before you start any sim or game(except DCS which lets you do a trick once running).

[ImaginationToForm]

I don't know what to do then. TrackIR hardware works in the software. TrackIR turned on in game but not doing anything.

Same thing happening to me as well.

Go into Settings -> Game -> Track IR Support to "On"

The only time it does not work for me is when I am in hyperspace. You will know your Track IR is working if you see the blue light illuminated on your TIR camera after the game starts. Try having your Track IR software check for game updates.

It wasn't working for me the first few times I tried using it with support turned on, tried running it in dx11 and now it works regardless of it running in dx12 or 11, don't really know what really fixed it but im happy

Thanks for all the comments. Updating the list of games is what was needed.

I didn't know this was a thing. Thanks for bringing it up. gonna get my trackir emulation running with my tobii eye tracking and start playing with it pronto!

I already had "Settings -> Game -> Track IR Support to "On" and updated the games list in track ir software and had no luck in getting it to work, and for some reason, on the gamepass version of the game, the option to change from dx12 to dx11 is greyed out so I can't figure out how to get trackir to work.

I just tried the demo, and It track ir worked right away after enabling the option in the settings menu. Seems the game pass version isn't working.

Not just gamepass, I can't get it work on Steam full release either but it works in other games so dev's broke something.

I use tobii eyetracker 5 and emulate trackir protocol via facetracknoir & opentrack tools.
Headtracking did not work for me in the game ether.

I replaced the file "NPClient64.dll" in the folder
"...\Steam\steamapps\common\EVERSPACE™ 2\ES2\Plugins\TrackIR\Source\ThirdParty\NPClient\Win64"
with the .dll file from here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/files/redist/NPClient/NPClient64.dll/download

Now the headtracking works in everspace 2.

Thanks for putting that out there DARu. Fred told me about in another thread and it's working like a champ. Appreciate you both spreading the info on this.
