To update to the latest version of Armoury Crate, reboot and the update will run in the background automatically (do not open Armoury Crate for 10-15 minutes, and plug in the power for notebooks).

Before reporting issues, please make sure you have the latest software and firmware.
Be clear about the key issue. Mark/edit posts which are no longer relevant, tracking multiple posts in several pages not only takes time but the issue becomes unclear.

When reporting a new issue, include the following info:
1. Clear description of your issue
2. PC / Laptop
3. Aura Sync products
4. 3rd-party peripheral, audio, or lighting software
5. Wired / wireless connection
6. Reinstalled Windows?
7. Windows version & build
8. Previous version of firmware or software that worked as expected
9. Any screenshots of the issue
10. Use our log collection function: Settings=>About=>App diagnostics
Please provide a log, it's much easier to provide fixes if we can replicate as accurately as possible.

NEW - When your issue has already been reported
To make reporting easier for you, if you see another member post the same issue you are experiencing:
1. Simply reply and add your name at the bottom of the post. (If someone else has already replied, then reply to that post and add your name to the list)
2. Record and generate a log.
3. Private message me and include the following:
a. The post link at the top right of your post (copy and paste the link)

b. Link to your log file stored in cloud, and screenshots if any.
c. Service version info

Click on the Generate log data button
Save the log file to a location of your choice.

Even though the log file is encrypted, share the log file with me by PM (provide link to file in cloud).

Many issues have been posted previously, but a very small percentage of people have PM'd me their log. If in doubt, just send a log and remember to record first. If the issue is after shutdown: provide a log for before shutdown and one after (2 logs). Thanks everyone!

Hello to new members, welcome. To respect those who have posted before you, do not spam the thread until you get a response. There is a queue, and so you may need to wait (unless only a quick response is required). This is a discussion forum, not an instant helpline (contact ASUS Customer Support in your region). And this thread is dedicated to issues specific to Armoury Crate, if anyone has suggestions - please find related threads or start a new one. I'm here to help so stay positive, If anyone persists to make this a complaint thread - he/she will be removed from the forum permanently. Dealing with such posts will result in less people being helped.

* Remember to provide sufficient info - read the first posts of this thread, there are examples.
* Avoid posting and reposting while you troubleshoot, this results in multiple posts and I may not be clear which ones are still relevant. You can update previous posts to consolidate, delete if necessary so we're not trying to replicate an issue when you have already resolved it.
* Please indicate if you know how to fix an issue or we have resolved it, some of you have done that to help others - much appreciated!

Thanks!

I noticed some people asking about the disappearance of the OverDrive button. The latest version of Armoury Crate requires you to update the driver for OverDrive as well.
First you'll need to uninstall the existing version (Settings>Apps>RefreshRateService). Some people reported that the pop-up is in Chinese (I have informed the team), just select the following.

Download, unzip, and install the latest version of RefreshRateService:

Hi MasterC@ROG, it is possible for ASUS to push out an update for these services automatically like the RefreshRateService when app such as Armoury Crate require the latest version of it.

As it is not really user friendly for people to keep checking the service version and to reinstalling it all the time. By asking us to manually install the new version, it would also risk the customer (us) doing mistakes in the procedure, risking our whole machine to maybe malfunctioning in some way.

This is just a comment. In my opinion, it is might be better to make the Armoury Crate compatible with all versions of RefreshRateService as I hardly see any performance difference with the different version of this service but I might be wrong as there might be some reason behind I don't know of.

I'm with you on that, and I have reflected this to the team. It's not clear for users to know what to do.

MasterC@ROG,

So...Can I assume that an automatic update of ArmouryCrate/RefreshRateService will be pushed out by ASUS to fix this on a later date? Instead of manually uninstalling and reinstalling the RefreshRateService.
