Arena does randomly not save chaser settings

Post by FAster77 »

Hi all,

I have a bug which keeps occuring but is not constant, so not easy to replicate:

My showfile has only sources from resolume, no video, just generators as I only trigger led strips. I use chaser a lot (like on almost every clip) because i have to specify exactly the effect should be. So there are many chaser effects at work, altho never more than 10 at once i'd say.

My bug: sometimes when I reopen resolume and my showfile, some random instances of chaser lost all their settings and are on "initial settings". For example I would set it to sequence 3 step 2... then save the show. and when I open it up again, the chaser effect will say sequence 1 step 1.
Sometimes some instances do not load correctly and many options are missing, so that it is not even possible to select a sequence or step.

Does anybody else have this issue or might know what the cause is? It seams really random. I have probably 20-600 chaser effects in the whole show file, so when 2-3 of them not load, it is not much, but it is enough to ruin some part of the show.

Thanks for any advice!

What's the best way to share?
I've also attached a foto of how it looks when chaser is not loading (no steps and echo/sustain/release option).

also i've noticed that resolume shows the wrong step number despite playing the correct one. For example it sais step 1 but the slider is clearly further and the step that is played is number 4.

Get your composition from Documents/Resolume Arena/Compositions,
then get your Chaser presets from your Chaser folder, and zip them up.
You can send them to mail@resolume.com
