Armoury Crate (5.3.4.0). This software is nothing but a bad joke.

[Andreaz]

Hello All...

Even with the current release of AC (5.3.4.0), nothing is woking. Aura Sync dont see any rgb stuff and the loading times are horrible.
I really cant understand, who release such unfinished and untested Software over and over a gain. AC is a Software Blob. Could you
finally seperate all Aura and OLED display stuff from such a big, fat ogre of Software that is unable to do anything, except beeing
unbelievable slow und useless, please?

Thanks.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreaz,

Try using the Armoury Crate uninstall tool and reinstalling Armoury Crate.

From the ASUS Support Center, select your operating system then click Show all in blue, it's the third download.

Once uninstalled, install Armoury Crate version 3.2.3.0, head to the update center and update your devices.

Armoury Crate version 5.3.4.0 is working ok for me.

What a joke, I'm not able to use AC for more than a month now, due to error 502.
Now it's error 501, wouah. Only 500 more releases of AC and I will be able to use it again?

And before you ask, yes I've ran AC uninstall tool countless times before retrying !!!

Hi roger123,

If the uninstall tool isn't working for you, a windows reinstall will fix the problem.

Before reinstalling windows....

Make sure all drivers and windows are updated, check device manager all looks good. You could try installing Armoury Crate with the bios at default settings, be sure you're installing version 3.2.3.0.

If none of this helps, you might want to proceed with a windows reinstall.

Reinstalling the OS looks like a joke.

You're really serios? A windows reinstall? Damn, fix that crap! I've done everything already, except reinstall windows. And i refuse to do it. If Asus can't program. Stop, trying it. Sorry.

same issue still exists as my other posts and my post on the last offical thread for bug reports that got closed and no reply ever provided, lightingservice keeps crashing. the last 3 updates have not fixed it, i will not wipe/reload windows. it was working, you made updates, you fix it. I had posted the logs and everything from the last update and received no replies. works for years, stops for 3-4 months, magic you guys finally fix it, me changing nothing....just sounds like you need to stop using your customers as your QA department!

Fresh installation of Windows 11 Pro 22H2 on August 22, 2022, to fix Armoury Crate version 5.3.2. Fresh install of Armoury Crate version 3.2.3.0 followed and It updated to Armoury Crate version 5.0.11.0. Then Armoury Crate updated to version 5.2.12.0. No problems! Today August 29, 2022, Armoury Crate updated to version 5.3.4.0. And this is the result when Armoury Crate updates to version 5.3.4.0 (same as version 5.3.2):

Armoury Crate Device tab sees:





Armoury Crate Aura Sync tab Aura sync sees:



Armoury Crate Aura Sync tab Aura Effects sees:



Aura Creator sees:



When I shut down computer:



If I try to reinstall Amoury Crate version 3.2.3.0 it will try to update to Amoury Crate version 5.3.4 and then Aura Creator will not see any devices. So, I am going to leave it as is for now, because I know I am not alone.

Is there any way I can download Amoury Crate version 5.2.12.0 and Aura Creator version 3.4.3?

I apologise for not specifically contributing to the issue in the thread, but I did want to say that a Windows reinstall should never be necessary to fix these kind of problems.

The 5.2.12.0 update broke motherboard boot lighting for me and several others and I spent days uninstalling and reinstalling trying to get it to work again. It then started failing on install so I was ultimately forced to reinstall Windows. Why is that even necessary?

While a Windows reinstall did fix the install problem, boot lighting still isn't working correctly (I haven't updated to 5.3.4.0 however, as I'm, frankly, too afraid to).

ASUS really need to ditch Armoury Crate. Please just go back to a lightweight, standalone Aura Sync. I dare say, a lot of us don't need all the extra rubbish AC comes with.
