Tobii Eye Tracker 5

[ilonia]

Bought Tobii eye tracker only to find out it doesn't work anymore with DCS..
DLL file is in correct folder.. Win is fully updated. Tracker works fine in all other games. Hope this gets corrected

weird, im not to sure what else other then dowloading the eye tracker software and customizing it from there, mine works fine

Yeah, it may not be the tracker.

I don't use it but I know people that do and its working fine.

Thank you both.. I'll keep troubleshooting

Check the latest app version and you will find HeadTracker.dll in it
Manually copy HeadTracker.dll into the game folder Eagledynamics\DCSWorld\bin (dependson the game platform of DCS, e.g. Steam, Epic...etc).

Yeah I have been using Tobii for the last few days with no problems. At one point in the last month or so I had to leave the DCS beta and I also set my DCS startup option to launch the game normally because I had previously had it on the MT start option. I posted about it in these forums. One of those changes fixed Tobii after it had suddenly stopped working after a recent DCS update. I would try the file copy first as that seems to be people's go to. I didn't know about the file option when I was troubleshooting at the time.

By the way, I play all kinds of games with Tobii and it is the best peripheral that I have ever purchased by far. I absolutely love it. Have fun. And depending on what you play, you may want to eventually pick up the free Opentrack software because it increases the games supported by Tobii tremendously.

Also, Troll Norris had posted a bit more detailed explanation of the file move in a previous Tobii post. It may help you.

So, have you never used the Tobii 5 with DCS, your post reads like you've just got one only to find it isdn't working ?

[ryansw989]

Just checked, mine is working as it should.
Couple of questions -
- Is it the Steam version ? If it is standalone you may have to add DCS link to your Tobii game Hub ( where you input all the settings for x,y,z axis ).
- If you have used other Headtracking devices prior, ensure these are not conflicting, preventing Tobii from being actioned.
- Lastly, which sounds like you've already done, copy that Headtracker DLL file over to DCS

Other than that, Tobii support are great, may take a day or so to get back but they sorted an issue I had where an update had caused Tobii not to work. I had to completely remove Tobii files and reinstall, but Tobii scattered files everywhere so they have a inhouse uninstall tool.
