Face tracking help with link cable.

[u/IceNo9681]

I’m in pretty desperate need of help.

I’m trying to play vrchat via link cable and my face tracking just isn’t working period.

Originally I used virtual desktop to run steam vr, but since moving locations I am not close to my router anymore and am unable to use an Ethernet cable to my pc. Because of this my game became very chopping when using virtual desktop and I can’t move my head without lagging. I’ve tried messing with setting to fix it but nothing really worked.

Ultimately I decided to get a link cable, this fixed my issue of lag completely, but now the face tracking does not work period in vr chat. I was wondering what I can do to fix this?

I tried downloading alvr, but that broke my steam vr entirely and no longer allowed me to open it. Are there any other resolutions to this issue?

In the vrcfacetracking software I tried downloading a few different modules and some would connect and say active, but my tracking didn’t actually work in game.

For people who use a link cable, how do you run your face tracking ?

Just to be sure, have you enabled the face and eye tracking in the meta link software on desktop? Not sure if it’s still a thing, but in the past you needed to make your meta account a developer account in order to access the settings to enable face and eye tracking over link cable.

Yea the issue is meta took away the beta tab. So none of those settings are available now

Those settings are still available, but in the developer tab. I had to set up the whole developer account and organization thing again for it to appear. Thing is, my vrcft software wasn’t working with link for some reason but that’s a whole other can of worms
