I have purchased facetracknoir 5 days ago and installed it with the v203a plugin pack. In this time until now it worked flawlessly with the faceAPI Tracker Source, though i was a bit bummed that the software would detect my Elgato HD60 Pro Capture Card as default camera unless i disable it in the device manager.
By disabling the device and then rebooting, forgetting to reenable it, i wasnt able to boot into windows now twice. Time consuming, but fixable.
Now i was looking for how to improve my user experience and read about the v203_2 faceAPI Plugin Update, which supposibly adds the ability to choose my camera without having to disable other devices, which was just what i needed.
But now i am running into the same issues i read some other users experience as well: the faceAPI engine state is TERMINATED, starting FTNoIR_FaceAPI_EXE manually gives the error code -13 (was hard to see when the window instantly closes again).
I have tried reinstalling both the main software and the old plugin pack many times, restarting my computer inbetween many of those moments, disabling different devices in the device manager to at least get a different error message from FTNoIR_FaceAPI_EXE, but it won't go away and i cannot use the software anymore without faceAPI working.
I am launching FaceTrackNoIR as admin, also tried to manually start FTNoIR_FaceAPI_EXE as admin, give the entire folder full security permissions .
There shouldn't be any software running that has control over my webcam before faceAPI .
Another thing is that i sadly can't recall if faceAPI worked today before i tried to update it, so i can't say with full confidence that the update was the issue.
My Webcam is a Logitech C922 and i can say that faceAPI worked until yesterday in the little time i was able to spend with the software.
If additional information is required, please let me know.

UPDATE: I managed just now to restore functionality to faceAPI by going back to a System Restore Point from 2 days ago. I will attempt to update faceAPI with the v203_2 Setup again and if it bricks again, I at least now know i can use a System Restore.
Will post another update in a moment.

UPDATE 2: It works with the update, i was able to choose my webcam and the engine state is TRACKING.
I can't tell what i did with my pc in those last 2 days that made faceAPI not work anymore whatsoever.
I'll post something again, should my situation change.

I'm glad it works now. Have fun!
