ASUS Aura and LiveDash Issues

[spadizzle]

These two pieces of software do not play nice together. Lighting_Control_1.06.29 and LiveDash1.01.09. I installed both and restarted, tried launching Aura and the app crashes on launch. I try to launch LiveDash and it opens just fine and I try to set "Large Temp". Nothing happens, so I reboot once more.

Launch Livedash and set, "Large Temp". It works perfectly this time. Try to launch Aura, still fails to launch. So I uninstall Aura and then reinstall on next reboot.
Aura still won't launch and now Livedash is now failing to launch, not even getting a crash message, just nothing. I am pretty sure these two are sharing some of the same files and are conflicting with one another, any feed back would be appreciated.

Also note: This would be the first time installing any ASUS software on this fresh installation of Win10 64bit


EDIT: I uninstalled both pieces of software and only installed AURA and now AURA launches and runs properly by itself. LiveDash and AURA don't play nice together, need a fix please. 🙂

Hi,

1.06.29 version of AURA Sync instead of making improvements it brings bugs ... Rollback to 1.06.17 more stable (stable ... we'll say it's the least worst now) : http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/Utility/AISuite/Lighting_Control_1.06.17.zip

Lighting_Control_1.06.29 hasn't given me any issues besides the issue with LiveDash. I am able to cycle through all the options. Thanks for the reply.

Here are the known issues so far for 1.06.29 version :

- Issue : Impossible to save the settings "PC off" with 1.06.29 version (the settings are reset each time that the settings are saved)
- Fix : Rollback to 1.06.17 version

- Issue : Optimization problem that generates a high CPU load when color effects are enabled
- Workaround : Use only Static color effects

But if AURA is OK for you, so much the better.

High cpu usage of lightingservice when i use some of the effects is my main issue of my aura. I used color cycle or static and it works fine

Yea you were right. Soon as I rebooted the software was forgetting settings and itg stopped detecting my RAM. So I will be using the lower version. Asus needs to pull that version off there download section.

When you say high CPU usage, what numbers are you stating? I am now monitoring that and its staying steady between 1.7-2.1% I would expect maybe some cpu usage because it monitoring to match the sound output since I have it set to (normal)music mode. For the normal modes its just a repeat thing so load into memory and let it go? Just curious.

I attached an screenshot of every aura effects and its cpu usage. As you notice all of the effects are hogging cpu usage EXCEPT the "Color cycle" (Static and Breathing) which I didn't include in my screenshot. And once that cpu usage of "lightingservice" played around 25-30% the aura light will stuck or freeze and the aura software crashed.

If you mean the cpu usage of "AURA 32bit", I have no problem with that because it played 0-0.5% or 0.7% or point something. My main concern is "Lightingservice.exe".

I am holding pretty much at 1.8-2%. I looked and noticed like Starry night look like to be your hardest hitter. I also noticed you and MoKiChU are both Intel systems. I'm using AMD, don't know if that is playing a part.

One thing I noticed is that your running at 70% Mem usage. All that memory compression might be affecting the performance of Lightingservice? Just tossing ideas out their. I was always told a good rule of thumb is that you should be below 50% memory with normal usage and only spike over when doing your thing.

Im using 8gb of ram (2x4gb team t-force delta 2 2666mhz) and that using high memory usage was come from "google chrome and bluestacks" because I used to play and browsing at the same time. And I noticed that if Im doing multi-task like opening a lot of application the lightingservice cpu usage has also increasing, is it normal or there's something wrong?

BTW, how many GB your ram?
