EasyView is cooked this update

[Redlights5744]

I updated to 2.0.3 to test out the new software update fully expecting bugs but not this. Ran a dummy project in EasyView and it was bad. Froze the board multiple times and the visualizer as well.

It would crash even just sitting idle. So not a big problem, just revert back to 1.2.6 for the mean time until it gets fixed. Well went back to start working on a project this weekend and the Wolfmix will not communicate with EasyView. It will for 10 or 30 seconds then freeze up. I delete fixtures and add new ones to the show file and controller file to no avail. I can not get the controller to actually control fixtures anymore. If I close the show file with out saving and reopen, I can get it to connect again but it looses connection less than a minute of opening.

The controller is recognizes EasyView when launching from Wtools, but not much after that. I’ve already reverted back to 1.2.6, restarted my pc. This new update cooked all ability to pre program shows. Literally didn’t have this problem yesterday or every day this week until today.

I more run into problems with Wtools itself since these updates it seems to me

I'm kinda disappointed in easy view all together and kinda mad I spent the $100 for it.

Many of my fixtures just looking NOTHING like they should in easy view. For example, freedom sticks - they shoot out a beam of light, looks absolutely nothing like they do IRL. Also, the ADJ Stinger II - can't even program it in easyview because it just looks like crap. Same with my Rockville LED Panels - you can't see the specifics of the fixture so programming it on easyview is basically impossible.

I am now just using easy view to manage my project and assign mappings. It's absolutely my biggest disappointed with this stuff so far.

Easyview has always been really bad

Use L8 CE or Capture if you want a decent visualiser experience that resembles what you're expect in person.

I think if you take the time to know it it’s a pretty powerfull program. At first I thought the same but now I think it works just fine!

Swang has a valid point about Freedom Sticks and some of the other fixtures not being realistic representations of what the lights will actually look like though.

Yeah sometimes you need some imagination but it’s also possible to edit the fixture to get a more realistic view of what it would be… tou can access this by the right menu and click the right button on the fixture maybe it helps.
