Hey guys,

I installed facetrackNOIR last night for another game but since then it has broken freelook.

Since then my screen centres on where my arms are aiming instead of the torso as previously.
I can find no way to change this and from what I can gather from other threads, the only way to stop this is by removing the driver completely?

Surely there must be some way to disable it so I can play MWO as per normal!

Thanks

Greetings,

Even if you go to the task manager and 'turn off' that application? Then open MWO, still there and locked to the arms?

Yes that's right, I don't have facetrackNOIR running and have the camera unplugged but something during the installation (Or something MWO detects) means that the new point is still locked to the arms (circle crosshair) instead of the torso.

I read on this thread how his freelook was still broken after removing the software:

His situation is different though as I still want facetrackNOIR installed to use with another game, I just don't want it altering my MWO gameplay by locking the screen onto the arms!

MWO detects TrackIR from the "NaturalPoint" registry entry. Remove the entry and MWO won't detect TrackIR anymore, however, FaceTrackNOIR will restore the registry entry the next time you start the head tracking so it needs to be removed every time before starting MWO. It'd be better if they'd add a manual on/off option.

Awesome thanks for the tip clr.
It's a manageable work around until PGI can provide an actual switchable setting for us.
Will have to give it a try!

I have found that if I adjust the settings in FreeTrack protocol so that the interface is "Use FreeTrack, hide TrackIR" and run it once like that, it stops messing up the MWO freelook. Still messy but better than mucking about in the registry, I think.
