Trackir not playing nice with Arma

Post by Cpl_Agarne »

Hello

When I'm in a game of arma with the trackir on I can't run. I'm stuck in walk mode. If I turn off the trackir I immediately start to run. It's random, doesn't do it all the time. I haven't been able to see what triggers it but turning off the trackir kills the problem immediately. Unfortunately once it starts and you turn it off, if you turn the trackir back on it is usually still there.

I've checked and there are no errant trackir modes set in the control settings.
Thanks

Do you have the hotkey buttons, F8, F9, and F12 assigned to do other things, within the gaming application?

Are you plugging in directly to the system, or are you using a hub?

Have you tried isolating the device on the USB ports?

Have you tried turn off any kind of power save feature for your USB ports?

In the "Device Manager" you can right click the "USB Root Hub"(s), that show, and then select properties. On the power management tab, uncheck the box that allows the computer to turn off the USB port to save power (i.e. uncheck the box). Sometimes that has an impact on the connectivity of the devices.
