  • hey, i'm new here and stumbled on this forum on a google search. I’ve been using v2 for about 4 years now and I love the software however this compatibility issue is really driving me crazy. I searched your forum and found a few things to try but none of them worked for me. So here is the problem;

    Software installation goes great, load udmx output module it works most of the time however when I try to close the program it crashes 100% of the time and restarts in German.

    This doesn’t seem to be an OS or hardware based issue as I have tried it on x86 and x64 machines both Intel and AMD processors with varied RAM configurations and quite a few operating systems 2k, vista (x86 & x64), XP (x86 and x64), W7(x86 & x64) and always the same result. Leaving the device plugged in and the plug-in active results in a crash. After any crash it becomes locked in German unless I remove the program do a registry clean restart and reinstall.

    Trying to circumvent the problem by shutting off the plugin and removing the device works, sometimes. About 50% of the time it will still crash but I have been lucky by saving my work before I touch anything that could close the program.

    I tried switching to v3 and other software but nothing that I have found can do the things I need like v2 does. .

    Like I said I did check the forum to try to find an answer but I can’t seem to find anything that solves this language problem. I have gone as far as to remove the German language file from the installation directory only leaving the English. But somehow it keeps finding German somewhere on my computer.

    At this point any help would be great

    Thanks:argh:

  • Maybe you could switch to using Art-Net as the DMXC output and an external Program to output that to the uDMX?

    Have a look here: https://www.illutzmination.de/udmx-artnet.html?&L=2

    Maybe trying his output plugins is also worth a shot (if it's not what is currently used anyway): https://www.illutzmination.de/dmxcontrol.html?&L=2

    German is the default compiled-in language. In fact, the German language file is mostly empty. Therefore, you cannot really remove german.

    I wonder why it keeps switching...

    However, the currently active language is stored in the registry. You shoud be able to switch to english by simply double clicking the attached file after removing the .txt file suffix.

    Kind regards,

    Stefan

  • Thanks Stefan I will try this!

    As your DMX Cue program get bigger in size the program will crash more often & it will change to Default "German"

    I leave my on most of the time, But when shutting down , I save the program, I close all DMX windows ,,,,,,,, than I wait a 1-min or 2-Minutes than I close the program works almost 95% of the time I hope this Helps
