Whenever i try to run facetracknoir i press start and nothing happens. When I open settings on faceapi it says engine state= terminated. The start and stop buttons dont do anything. I tryed opening faceapi.exe and it just says api error code -13.

Hello Tristan,

This page on our website describes possible causes for the '-13' error: https://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/Trackers/faceAPI.htm

What kind of webcam do you have?

  Hello, Wim. I have the exact same problem with - 13 mistake on droidcam connected to tracker. tried to run as win 7,8, no results. NoIR can see the camera output in its camera tool, but facetrack shows TERMINATED. tried to cut out that .dll, but still TERMINATED. tried to run the program without the camera attached to laptop, no results. seems like the problem is in that .dll or it somehow connected to win 11

I use my phone camera by connecting it to the computer with an app called droid cam

It has worked before on a different computer but since I changed computer it hasnt been working.
