Track IR update.

[Itkovian]

Salutations,

 

I recall Track IR reportedly not working on 64-bit systems. Has this been fixed in Track IR's 5.1 software version?

 

And a minor technical question: would I need to uninstall my current TIR software, or does it update properly?

 

Thank you.

Version 5.1 works fine on x64 systems. I'd advise to indeed uninstall the old version first (save your custom profiles to be safe - if you have any)

Yes

If not version 5, uninstall version 4.1.0.38 then install 5.1 final.

track IR 3 PRO VE is working fine with me, and version 4.xx

 

(on 64bit of course)

Very well, thank you.

 

How do I save my custom profiles anyway? (only got 1, for BoB2, I'm not one for fiddling with such)

make sure the driver is uninstalled also in device manager. in some cases the old driver remains which will give problems with your new trackir 5.1

It will ask you during the install process.

It will ask you during the install process.

 

... you mean the uninstall process? If I don't back up my profiles before I uninstall then it won't help during the install of the new software, right?

Look in the directory were you have installed your TrackIr driver, there will be a map called "profiles".

And do you simply copy/paste those files back in the new version's directory for it to detect them?

During uninstall it will ask if you want to back them up. During installation it will ask about backing up profiles, the save profiles should be in the same directory when you reinstall. Given that you installed from TIR5 to a newer version of TIR5.

Ah, excellent then, thank you.

I just got my TIR5 today. It replaced my TIR3 that I never did upgrade to Vector Expansion. Anyway, why didn't someone tell me how much better TIR5 is?!!?!

 

Well, actually, every post I've read said the TIR5 was better but I really had no idea what I was missing without 6DOF. Wow! This is very cool stuff! And yes, the tracking is much, much smoother too.

I know what you mean!

I have track ir 4 and 5.

I bought track ir 5 because i have trobble whit the 4, And then the problem still exist. I have the orginal Natural point hat whit the hat clip in the middle, so i figured out that was the problem , not tree dots but 4!. so i just put some tape on the hat and now it works grate.

So now i have Track ir 4 as back up
