Hi,
I have a few issues with AC.
- After approx. 3 hours all RGB lighting freezes on my motherboard, except for the RAM which will continue, but out of sync (meaning the rgb on the 2 sticks no longer runs in sync). It can only be fixed by completely shutting down the pc, not a restart.
- When I select all devices under Aura Sync, next time I open AC, my mouse (Chakram Core) is deselected again
- Under Aura Effects, the In-Game lighting effects checkbox is not remembered, it switches back to on every time I open AC
- GameSDK can not be updated (error 16), but this is a known issue apparently

UPDATE:I have been monitoring the RGB freeze and found 2 "AAC MB HAL" processes in task manager. One of them was taking 1.500MB, while the other consumed only 2.1MB... After killing the "big" one, the rgb resumed working.
So I think this process has a memory leak or something. So my guess the real problem is with "ASUS AURA Motherboard HAL 1.2.8.0"
