Administrators Technobeard Posted December 22, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 22, 2017 This will be the official discussion thread for Link v4.9.4.28. If you'd like to report a bug, please respond to this thread in this format: Version of your Link software. NOTE: If you're not using v4.9.4.28, please install it and see if the bug has been fixed. What version of Windows you're using. Summary - One line / sentence explaining the issue Detailed description of the issue - This part can be as long as you want. It should be detailed enough so that we can clearly identify the issue and attempt to replicate it. Attach photos of the issue to the post that help #4. Changelog: Hardware playback restored for SP RGB fans, HD RGB fans, ML RGB fans, and RGB strips. Bug Fixes: Fixed situations where leaving Corsair LINK running for 3+ days will result in high CPU usage. Known Issues: Users connecting Lighting Node PRO or AXi USB dongle to Commander PRO USB hub may experience detection issues if Commander PRO is connected to an AMD chipset or ASMedia USB controller. (Fix ongoing.)CPU core numbering may not report correctly for some users. (Fix ongoing.)Extra fans may appear under motherboard info after Link is left running over an extended period of time. (Fix ongoing.)Systems with AMD graphics cards may report one extra graphics card. (Fix ongoing.)Mechanical hard disks may not enter sleep state. (Fix ongoing.)Changing profiles does not change DRAM lighting. (Scheduled to be fixed in next release.)LL RGB fans will require the Corsair LINK software to function. This is a limitation of the Lighting Node PRO and Commander PRO hardware.CPUs with more than 16 cores will not report all cores. This is a limitation of Corsair LINK being a 32-bit application.

Administrators Technobeard Posted December 22, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted December 22, 2017 The direct download should be uploaded later tonight. If you update through the app you should be able to download it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutLore Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Thx. So.. just upgraded to 4.9.4.28 to try and fix this issue - but it has not fixed it. Seems that someone else had a similar issue before that "self resolved" - where they were using a mixture of LL120 and LL140 fans. Note in the images below that each fan should be a single color, but there are 2 that are mixed pink/green Version of your Link software: V4.9.4.28 & V4.9.3.25 Windows 10.0.16299.125 Fan LED's "bleeding" into each other 6 LL120's, LNP V0.5.104 (also tried earlier version but it didn't even have LL fans as an option) If I have fans set to different colors or effects, some of the fans get "color bleed" from the fan in front/behind it. Same with the effects that use all the fans - I.E. Pong at one end gets screwy. If I remove some fans - even right down to only having 2, the problem is still there. I have changed the order of the fans, and also swapped out both the hub and the LNP (I have 2 of the 3 packs, so have double) and nothing fixes this issue - I can only think that it's a software problem but it seems like it's not a very common issue. Here's my config in Link Here's the front fans (No.1 is the lower fan, no.2 above it) Here's the rear fans - (No.3 and 4 in the top, No.5 at the rear and No.6 is CPU) Note how 5 (rear) and 6 (cpu) are split, as though link thinks there are actually 7 fans.

huppra Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Its been countless releases and I still cannot place corsair link on my top monitor without it immediately moving to the lower monitor.

OutLore Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Have you tried reversing fans 5 & 6 on the RGB Fan Controller? Thanks for the repsonse - if I switch any of the fans with other fans I get the same result - I just tried it specifically with 5 & 6 and got the same result - no change.

DeadxWreckoning Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 For Corsair employee Dustin - I reported on the last version of Link that I couldn't install the update unless I closed everything in my system tray because the Link installer would crash every time I went to update either through the Link updater or the standalone package. Well it did the same with this version, so I closed apps in my tray one by one. Turns out it's caused by MSI Afterburner and/or RivaTuner (when I close Afterburner it closes both). As soon as that closed, I was able to update without crashes or error. Dunno what's up with Link but it conflicts with those and has for others.

Zotty Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hardware playback restored for SP RGB fans, HD RGB fans, ML RGB fans, and RGB strips. It should be noted for those with LL fans and Strips (and indeed if they also have HD/SP/ML fans also in their system along side LL fans) You will no longer have synced lighting effects with out Link running Which I personally don't get as the above 'fix' is to mostly please those that Don't run corsair Link not really an issue but my system now looks all miss matched when shutting down and restarting Maybe a hardware playback toggle could be introduced?

DevBiker Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 who knows, acknowledgement either way would be great. Otherwise that coupled with Corsairlink crashing everyday, I may have to ditch the corsair eco system for something more stable. What crashes are you seeing everyday? Can you post some stack traces from Event Viewer (look for something with .NET Runtime as the source) or the log files from C:\ProgramData\CLink4?

If I understood how to stack trace I would gladly help. I had to cut the logs to just cover recent days as they were both over 60mb. As for the crashes, it will just randomly crash, I added the event viewer log to the post above. I will just come home to windows app crash popup asking me to send a report.Client_Trace.logService_Error.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hmm.. this was not a successful update for me. I have been sitting on Link 4.8 and Commander Pro firmware 0.21 for a while to maintain the hardware playback and accurate temp probe readings. I did update to the 4.9.4.28 this morning and C-Pro firmware 0.41. I hooked one HD120 into the C-Pro and my other fans remain on my motherboard. Both of my temp probes no longer provide readings and are static at 0.0C. Link rhythmically loses the one HD120 (Fan #3) and it pulses in an out of both Link and AIDA sensors. Closing AIDA did not resolve the issue. Mutliple reboots did not resolve the issues. Additionally, the C-Pro (or Link) is detecting a phantom fan in slot #1. Based on the value, it appears to be the raw pump speed data from my X62. Since the temp probes and the one GPU rad fan linked to the probe are my uses for fan control, I rolled back to FW 0.21 first. I was about to roll back Link as well, but after the reboot following FW 0.21, all was back to normal. I am not sure if this is firmware related, Link related, or a combination. I am going to let it ride on this Link version and FW 0.21 and see how it goes. The only issue I had on 4.8 was the 0 fan bug. EDIT: The 4.9.4.28 and C-Pro FW 0.21 combo did not last long. The same issues with faulty temp probe data, phantom fans, and wonky data returned. Add mismatched voltage rails to the list (12v rail reads 3.31v, 5V reads 12.015, etc). I had a hard time removing it as well and had to use a 3rd party tool. All looks back to normal on 4.8 and 0.21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aebelsky Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 So my Corsair H100i v2 now returns to normal after sleep mode. After about a year, I no longer have to reset it on the device manager. THANK YOU CORSAIR FINALLY!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatsDirty Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Will the demo playback lighting mode be back as an official lighting preset? I actually really enjoyed the rainbow wave look of it on my SP120s. Going back to 4.9.3.25 just for it. Lol Edit: Is there a way to go back to 4.9.3.25? I've installed the 4.9.3.25 version but Link still shows the latest 4.9.4.28 version on the About tab in CL4. On that previous version I would be able to exit CL4 and have the demo playback effect go but on this version it doesn't anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner007dc Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Thanks for bringing back the HW playback feature. Works great again and finally can update from 4.8.21. Obviously my only issues are the ones in the known issue section. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
