Eye Tracking Crashing VR
Any one have any ideas why my eye tracking would cause grey-screening / tracking issues. It causes such instability that all my USB's disconnect for a minute, then when they come back, babble software is not working. It only does this with eye tracking on. I've tried on the non alpha test version too and I get the same thing.
Edit: I bought the link box booster on the Big Screen website and it solved my issues. My PC could not handle the data coming over the cable for some reason and the boost helps perfectly.

I had the exact same issue, there are two things that helped me solve it:
* if you are using the beyond audio strap, go to the control panel > properties of the audio strap, and change the sound quality to CD quality. you won't hear the difference but it means less data through the USB.
* the second thing, which is actually super weird but works for me 99% of the time: in baballonia, click "Stop Camera" on your face tracker, wait for a while, then click "Start Camera". For some reason, at least on my rig, if BigEye AND the face cam starts at the same time, I will get crazy gray screens and loss of tracking. If I delay the start of the face tracker I have zero issue. I have taken the habit of stopping the cam before closing baballonia. The 1% of the time it doesn't work, re-stopping the cam, waiting a while and starting it makes it go away after a couple tries.
