PS Eye + Automobilista2

[eccemat]

Hello
On 02 November, I tested the software with PlaySation eye + manycam + OpenTrack + Eyeware Beam Webcam.
It works with Assetto Corsa, but unfortunately not with Automobilista 2.

Is he the only one in this situation? If not, what should I do?
Tinker with something, wait for an update or buy a webcam?

If the software is as good as I hope it will be, I'd like to buy a better cam. What advice would you give me (specific features)?

I'm sure the answers are in Discord, but I don't read English (old stupid Frenchie) and I'm lost in the discussions, so thanks for any help.
With my sympathy, Mat

Hi, replying here officially, so there's a record for others, even though we're chatting on Discord.

We'll try to get our hands on a PS3 eye cam soon, so we can figure out the driver issue as it seems to be quite often used. The Manycam workaround works for now however, but is of course not ideal and one of our users did measure a slightly lower framerate due to Manycam.

As for your issue with Automobilista 2: I understand your frustration. Please note that we don't directly control OpenTrack and Beam is not linked to the problem directly. As long as that octopus moves in OpenTrack then Beam is working fine.

Webcam > Beam > OpenTrack > Automobilista 2
PS3 Eye Cam > Manycam > Beam > OpenTrack > Automobilista 2

However, for the link between Automobilista 2 and OpenTrack some seem to have experienced similar issues, that seem resolvable. Please have a look at this reddit post:

- Windows firewall was blocking the permissions to opentrack
- it only works if I start the game in "Steam VR-Mode"

Hi
After downloading the demo, I trying for 1h30 to make it work (PS3 Eye/Automobilista), but don't, so I decide to buy a good webcam (logitech C920) and test again, but the demo is out of date.
OK, I buy Beam and try again... without result and without solution.
OK... Refound Beam. (The first time of my life I refound something)
Today, you suggest I try again with some tips... maybe it work.
I could try on a demo but I don't have the right to redownload it...

I bought Beam -again- and tested -again- with all tips (helmet view, steam vr, head movement, triple screen on/off, with and without ManyCam...) without any results...
I specify that AssettoCorsaCompetizione works.
I don't understand how you can claim that your product works whith Automobilista2 if you don't even know how to do it !?

Hi, if you want we can have a quick call over discord to help debug this (afternoon CET hours work best). As previously mentioned, Beam is working fine. The connection that you're not getting to run so far is OpenTrack (an open source 3rd party software, not tied to Beam) > Automobilista.

There are quite a few videos of users with OpenTrack and Automobilista 2 getting it to run (e.g. this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81a-ZQUywoM), so I believe you're a small tweak away from achieving it. Have a look at the video at 3:16. I'm suspecting that "coutnerintuitive" setting to SteamVR or OculusVR in Steam might be the culprit here.
