eye tracking 'waiting for gaze' in ETS2 but fine in ATS #29
Description
What happens?
As you know, I've had this working just fine inn both games before now during the testing phase.
However I noticed that with 15.1 that the eye tracking element of the foveated eye tracking is not working and stating 'waiting for gaze' when switched on. I've tried numerous dlaa.ini saves and restarts but no luck,
Exactly the same process and settings work fine in ATS and eye tracking is as expected.
I've attached a log (level 4) for you to take a look at and see what's up. Thanks

Before you send
- I set
log_level = 4and quit the game before I took the log. - I tried with DLAA off (
Shift+F11) to see if the game itself shows the problem.

another thing I've noticed - it's something clashing with OpenXRToolKit companion app as if I disable it, then gaze shows correctly and tracks as expected.
The odd thing is that AMS has no issue with the toolkit being active, only ETS2, and in older versions I was testing eye tracking just fine across both ETS2 and ATS with toolkit active.

Your log shows it here:
ERROR Eye tracking: the eye gaze suggestion from above the runtime with ours appended FAILED (-47 ...)After that, every gaze reading was empty, so the menu stayed at "waiting for gaze". ATS seems to start its session only once, so it did not happen there.
Fix: in v0.16.0-rc3 the mod makes a new eye tracker link when this happens. https://github.com/JRDevo/ETS2-ATS-DLAA-DLSS-Injection-Mod/releases/tag/v0.16.0-rc3
In the log, look for this line:
ours appended with a FRESH gaze setIf you see that line and the gaze follows your eyes, the fix works.
