Hello, every time i launch free track it works for about 20 seconds to a minute and then it just shuts down without an error message or anything. My camera is still on after it crashes and in the task manager shows it still running. I have no idea whats wrong with it. Can anyone help me? I am running windows 8.1 on 64 bit

I think that you have aoto minimize enabled.Freetrack stays active but not visible.In the taskbar you see a circle icon, when you right click on it you can select restore and freetrack come back.It is always better to minimize freetrack while using it ingamen, it uses less resources this way.

have you checked those setting with the arrow?
If freetrack is still running in the taskmanager, it is not shut down but minimized(at least that is what I call it).I don't use win8 myself.In win7 icons can be hidden, isn't this possible also in win8?

You should give FaceTrackNOIR and OpenTrack a try, they are more future proof. Freetrack isn't in development anymore for years now.

MsG,

Freetrack still works for a lot of people, why should they change it for other ir-tracking software?Even after 7 years with no update freetrack still works, even with win7, win8 and win8.1, Freetrack not futureproof???
With freetrack you can tweak a lot of things, maybe to much, more then in FTNOIR.And then I must admit, for some people it is easier to work with FTNOIR because there are less settings to tweak with the curves.
I don't think you can say that one of the three is the best.
They are all "special"in their own way.


In an other reply of you on someones post I already said that I also don't use freetrack anymore because  I wanted to use a ps3-eye. ;)
