44-
Launch VRCFaceTracking, and from the Modules tab, click the "Install from package" button at the top, and select the VRCFT-Tobii-Advanced Module. Upon relaunch of the application, you should see a new module called "Tobii Advanced" being loaded.
40+
### 3) Download [SRanipal_1.3.6.5.zip (Discord Link)](https://discord.com/channels/849300336128032789/915075185328152606/1017600042837753906)

#### 4) Install and configure [BrokenEye](https://github.com/ghostiam/BrokenEye/releases)
47-
Download the latest release and place it in your folder. Run this and follow the [instructions there](https://github.com/ghostiam/BrokenEye/blob/main/README.md).
42+
:::note
43+
While SRanipal v1.3.1.1 does work with BrokenEye, we strongly recommend using v1.3.6.5 as it has been shown to have more consistent and reliable eyelid tracking over v1.3.1.1 when used with the Crystal.

#### 5) All together now!
50-
Now that you have all of the required software installed, it's time to put it all together. First, launch PimaxPlay and SteamVR. Once SteamVR is running, launch BrokenEye followed by EyeTrackVR (Beta!). Then, launch VRCFaceTracking. If you see your eye preview in BrokenEye and EyeTrackVR (Beta!), you're finished!
46+
Download SRanipal_1.3.6.5.zip from the VRCFaceTracking Discord Server in #file-share and extract the contents into the same folder as BrokenEye.exe. You do **NOT** need to run SRanipal.

Some users have observed EyeTrackVR using a lot of their CPU. On newer Intel CPUs, this can be mitigated by disabling e-Cores in the BIOS. If you are unsure how to do this, please consult your motherboard's manual, or consult the internet.

Ensure that the contents are **NOT** in a sub-folder and are in the same directory as BrokenEye.exe
