It's really odd that the default value for the web page does not load properly, just tested it myself and seems to be in order, the FaceRig page loads correctly. Make sure you let CoherentUI host process (the UI 3rd party system we use) get through the firewall.

Anyway, you could toggle on the Autosave feature from General Options > Preferences tab so that the environment customization options could be loaded after you change the background or re-launch the app, although I think your suggestion still stands, so we'll review adding it.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
My Autosave option is already on (other changes I make in FaceRig seems to save ok, but not the custom URL).
Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to change "http : // w ww. facerig . com" (without spaces) as the default URL that wants to load in and if I do change it to something else, it's not remebered / saved for the next time FaceRig is restarted or if switching to another background from the gallery then going back (it always resets to the facerig URL).
CoherantUI isn't bocked in my Firewall. Other URLs I try that connect via internet usually seems to load fine.

I'm glad you may consider adding my suggestion though to change the default URL that would be loaded when switching to use the Background Custom Web or to be able to set it as a blank black background until putting on one's own URL.

Update: Hmmm, this is strange. If I manually click the "Load Page" button with the default facerig URL, it will load in that webpage as a background, but without doing that I will always get that error (as I outlined in my original post).
