Tobii Eye Tracking not supported anymore

[MattyB]

Why would they drop this. it was already implemented into game,
since a few versions ago it is no longer supported....


PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!

Any head/eye tracking would be great
I still have my TrackIR 5, still lookin for newer games to use it and the only ones are the high end developed ones like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous etc

Try disabling the Anti-Cheat software see if that fixes it?

No, really seems to be broken. Once the game is entered, it shows an error in the game console about not being able to load the tobii plugin or one of its dependencies. I hope the funpimps fix this again.

They wouldn't drop it because it was never added in the first place.

In Sylen I trust. If you say it worked in the past. You can access any of the old beta versions right now. See if you can find on that the eye tracker works.

It's a feature to Tobii whether the games are supported are not. It's not an added feature from the developer.

I would guess an update in 7DtD broke Tobii's support of the game.

Oh, so they're like a 3rd party modder but the devs & pubs never committed an agreement with Tobii to support the feature. Cool. It'd be nice if Tobii at least contacted the devs & pubs to ask for support in the finished version, you know, by striking a deal.

I'm sure anybody following Bethesda over the years heard a few things about paid mods, but uh the sales of those mods went into Bethesda's pockets, not some 3rd party. Since you're paying the 3rd party the money, you gotta complain to they and ask why it's not supported.

Look how much work modders in the industry do to keep their free mods updated when dev patches break them. If you were to pay that modder $229 USD (the price of the Tobii eye tracker) you can dam well bet that most modders will find a way to make it work.

Edit:
Oh btw. On Tobii's site. None of the material there uses the ® symbol next to the game and I'd bet the marketing material there is not approved. Just saying, lawyers are a thing.

Tobii is not a modder, they are a hardware company. Games can have built-in native support, or the Tobii can just act as another controller on your system, like a mouse. In that case it's like Logitech mouse software having profiles for games.

I'm curious about the specifics from a legal & game publisher point of view.
