    Hi all!
    My trackIR( Up to date) doesn't work anymore with the new Build(798) in 64. It was working with build 77O in 64 bits. I have to revert to 32 bits:mad:. Any ideas how to make it work or should we have to wait for an ISI solution?
    PS; of course I've windows 7 64

    Cheers

    Same problem here. It won't work at all in 64bit and when I choose 32bit, it works few seconds and then game freezes and I have to close it through task management. This problem was also the last build.

    Running Win 8.1 and all latest drivers.

    Hi Jani!
    for me it works fine without freezing in 32, strange for you:(! Should be interesting to know if somebody has the same problem as you.

    Now it's working in 32bit mode. Issue was caused by DashMeterPRO plugin. I delete it and now TrackIr working again.

    Ha! I just spent all afternoon fixing the mounting base on my trackir so I could use it with rF2. Then find out it doesn't work in 64bit. I should pay more attention to the forums I guess. ( trackIr unit did get fixed though, guess that is something)

    @Rik
    This is where I got the idea from:

    http://oldfokkers.myfunforum.org/archive/trackir-4-repair__o_t__t_1477.html

    I didn't have any heavy duty malleable wire on hand but I did have some solid wire solder (.125 dia.) to use. My led tv is about 2 inches thick so I ended up with a piece about 9 inches long. I started from the middle, making the tail piece and formed it to the front. It's soft enough to conform it to tv monitor but more than enough ridged to hold shape. Then you just have to find away to attach your remaining piece of trackir to it.
    Mine was broke on one of the front legs. (I still had the barrel swivel, one front leg and all of the rear leg)

    So I clipped off the angle of the remaining front leg and clipped of the angle of the rear leg. When I put the remaining front leg straight ahead and including the rear leg, I had a perfect surface to duct tape the rear leg to the bracket made out of .125 dia. solder wire.

    I know they break in different places, could be I was lucky with where mine broke. Nonetheless just do as I always do in a dilemma, open your eyes and look all around the house in nook and crannies, eventually you will see something that strikes your fancy to use.

    When I was younger, I loved to go to hardware stores (you remember when there actually such places, ran by an old man) browsing to see what was available for use in an emergency. End of prose.
