I'm getting the error: “Camera malfunction - Please wait while camera initialises. “ I know other people have posted the same issue but I’ve not been able to fix this problem. The head tracking seems to be working just fine in all axes.
I've tried switching off the positional tracking but this doesn't make it go away. All other Ctrl-Q menu items seem to be working as they should.
Is it possible to add a hotkey to just make the message go away please? There doesn't actually seem to be anything wrong with head tracking and this is stopping me enjoying my games which are perfectly playable in every way.

Re: Camera malfunction error
I'll add a timeout to the message, as it is useful in some circumstances, however it persisting for a long time is unnecessary.

Re: Camera malfunction error
Change of plan.. next release (coming very soon) will have a parameter in the config.xml: warn_camera_malfunction, if you set it to:
warn_camera_malfunction="0"
Then you won't get that warning at all.
Similarly you can turn off the warning if you lose positional tracking (or go out of the tracking cone), with the parameter:
warn_positional_lost="0"
warn_camera_malfunction="0"
Then you won't get that warning at all.

Re: Camera malfunction error
Thanks Dr Beef that would be really helpful. I appreciate I may still have some underlying issue but this is a great workaround for me in the meantime.
