[#3463] TrackIR Head Tracking Causing Glitching/Flickering In Menus

[Nimrod989]

Version and language (e.g. 7.10 Hotfix 1, English, etc.).

7.5

Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).

No

Game start being played.

Timelines, ships in all missions.

Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.

I am getting flickering menus with TrackIR head tracking enabled when in a ship, the video below demonstrates this. Disabling head tracking with Ctrl+T stops this.

Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.

None

Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves *, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).

No error messages are displayed, the game functions normally, disabling head tracking stops the issue.

Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).**

Here to confirm this using opentrack via UDP

Also, hoping that for the devs is a small change (I know it never is, but I have some hope):

PLEASE, if a connection with Opentrack is established, overwrite the connection with tobii and give priority to opentrack... I integrated tobii inside opentrack, I don't want to use the tobii native integration for multiple reason (head tracking doesn't work with tobii 4c). X4, which is my favourite space game, is the only one that doesn't support this, because as soon as it sees a tobii in the system it makes it win over everything else, no matter what connection is established. If it is just an "if" somewhere in the code, please please change it <3

1. Version 7.5 Language English
2. No mods only DLC
3. Timelines, Open Universe the head tracking is different you can no longer look at the map and move the head.
4. Exactly the same issue as in the video above.
Since the new update and Hyperion Pack I've started having issues with track IR. The issue presents itself only when I open up any menu including the map ect... There is a split screen that follows the track ir and makes the game unplayable. I've never had this issue in the past. If I take a screen shot with steam it does not recognize it but you can clearly see from my phone the issue at hand.

Do not bump threads. When there is new information, we will post let people know.

If you want the problem to be solved quicker then provide the information requested at the top of the forum, along with any further details that you think might be useful to someone trying to find trace and fix the issue. Making pointless "+1" and "fix it" posts achieves absolutely nothing, and if you continue to do it then your posts will be removed.

Switching off the keybind for resetting head tracking seemed to work for me. At least the menus don't flicker anymore but there is still an occasional flicker in-game and seems to get worse over time. The default keybind is set to scroll-lock so that is causing some interferance when using Track Ir. Hope this helps in finding the root cause.

I have a similar problem, which makes the game unplayable. https://youtu.be/AbEtTyPlAgU

Game ver: 7.60 (562021) German + TrackIR5 (Drv.ver. 5.5.3)

-No Mods
-The problem occurs in any situation where the game interface is used, such as the map, settings, or the top panel in the ship's cockpit. I’ve tried all the settings available to me. None of them helped
-I haven’t played the game for a couple of years. Since then, I’ve upgraded Windows and completely rebuilt my PC (All drivers are up-to-date)

PS. I can't upload my DX file in this post, so see it here pls. viewtopic.php?p=5285125#p5285125
