TrackIR update 5.3 can't load profiles

[Jade_Monkey]

Hi everyone,

 

I recently updated the TrackIR software to 5.3 and now I can't load Requiem's profile, which I had been using for a long time.

 

I think the old profiles might not be compatible with the updated software? 

 

Did anyone have a similar experience? Any workarounds?

 

 

Thanks!

You need to make new profile.... I know it's sad.

At least it's what I have done.

I had the same problem. TrackIR 5.3 changed the the profile location. Profiles are now stored in C:\Windows\User\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\Profiles. Copy Requiem's profile in that folder. It show up when you start TrackIR. NaturalPoint-TrackIR should have given us information about this before we installed.

I had no problem at all loading my profiles after updating to 5.3.

I did uninstall the previous version prior to installing the new version.

Same here. I uninstalled the previous version completely. I did take the precaution of backing up my profiles beforehand, just in case, but the new one installed and ran with no issues.

Thanks for the responses!

 

I ended up making my own profile.

In the past editions, TIR saved the profiles here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\Profiles

 

In V5.3 they are saved here:

C:\Users\your profile name\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5

 

It took me a while to find them, but they are there.

 

Good luck.

This.

And if you can't see the AppData folder (means you can't see hidden folders/files), click on the Start button and put %AppData% in the search field, press Enter and you should be there - OR - change your settings to be able to see hidden files:

Jasne, ze mozes, pretoze sa pri instalacii prekopiroval na to nove miesto.

Ak si ale budes chciet natiahnut profil od niekoho ineho, musis ho umiestnit do 

C:\Users\your profile name\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5

Inak Ti ho nenajde
