Hey! I managed to get webcam face tracking working on proton-cachyos for VRChat. The issue was that VRChat uses DirectShow (not Media Foundation) for camera access, so your mf.dll patch alone wasn’t enough — the critical fix was also needed in quartz.dll, qcap.dll, qedit.dll, devenum.dll and avicap3…

I have using AI to assist with patching parts of DirectShow and Media Foundation (MF). I’ve discovered that VRChat utilizes DirectShow; testing with DirectShow’s AMCap.exe shows it is working correctly now. However, VLC capture still encounters issues (preliminary analysis suggests it might be usin…

I’ve tested it, and on my device, I’m not experiencing any black screens or freezing issues. It’s already 1:30 AM here. I’ll try to build a version of proton-cachyos with these integrated hotfixes tomorrow. Good night! This is my computer configuration [image]

Good night! Great to hear you’re working on an integrated build. Just a heads up — the black screen issue on my end seems to be NVIDIA-specific.

[image] Senko: tar -xzf proton-cachyos-camera.tar.gz -C ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/ it works!! thank you SO much for working on this your timing could not have been more perfetct <3

So glad it works for you! Big thanks to LilFishyChan for the original patch — without their work none of this would have been possible. But hey, someone had to figure out that VRChat uses DirectShow, dig through Wine logs at midnight and put it all together! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:…

It works on Fedora 43 here! But it’s freezing every 10 seconds because the world map can’t load video players with this patch atm
