LiveDash no longer works with latest AURA 1.07.79

[Zammin]

Hi everyone

I am using a Maximus XI Formula motherboard and I've just updated my BIOS and AURA to the latest version in order to take advantage of the new iCUE plugin. However since installing the new AURA, I can no longer control my LiveDash. I had some issues with the previous version of Aura where I could still select animated GIFs in the LiveDash app but couldn't choose component temperature/voltage readouts. Now it's stuck on the default CPU temperature mode no matter what I do. At this stage the LiveDash app is only capable of turning the OLED display on and off.

I was previously on LiveDash version 1.05.03, which was the latest version on my motherboard's download page. However I found a link to version 1.05.06 on this forum and gave it a try, but the same issue persists. It's not got anything to do with the iCUE plugin either as this issue started before I even installed the plugin.

Does anyone know how to get my LiveDash working again without switching over to Armoury Crate? I've read that Armoury Crate is very buggy and bloaty, and I don't need it's extensive functionality. I just want to regain control of my LiveDash again.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

was able to source the last few versions. will do some testing and see. not holding my breath. so much time and work for such a trivial feature. incredible they can engineer a motherboard but software is like voodoo to them.

well, day 3.

worth noting that i completely purged everything rgb and asus related via every means possible. revo/manually/registry etc. Upon reinstallation of an old version of aura and livedash. once again - both work.

gonna make a system image real quick as ive already spent a shameful amount of time on this (like i do every time it magically breaks) and then im going to upgrade aura version by version till it breaks again.

then im going to do one final entire purge/clean and install just the latest version of aura to try and ascertain if entirely falls on the shoulders of the newest aura.

for now, what i can tell you is if you do a proper purge of all things asus from your system and install 1.07.66 and livedash 1.05.06 it will work.

during this endeavor, i happened across an open source alternative to aura called openrgb btw.

its still brand new, but it doesnt try to screw the user by locking them into a vendors ecosystem, its vendor agnostic as an rgb standard actually does exist. big corp just doesnt conform to it for #profit.

its ran portable and as such doesnt bloat your system with all kinds of un necessary services/dependencies etc.

best part, made by a single guy in his spare time for free. Imagine the things a huge multi million (billion?) dollar corporation like asus could accomplish with their resources. Or not.

definitely the latest version busts live dash. was able to upgrade to/use 1.07.71 just fine. sometimes you gotta roll with the punches. Not like they have a QA department to test these things when fanatical users who spend hundreds on a single motherboard can do it for em 😛

ok

/cynicism off

clear out, downgrade to 1.07.71. profit.

I can’t seem to get any version of live dash work with my XII Extreme program won’t even load. Anyone got LiveDash and a XII board working with out armoury crate? I dont want to install that thing. *

No armoury crate here and live dash is broken. I gave up on the software from asus on this as I think they have also

I got a reply from asus support regarding Live dash. They said that LIVEDASH is EOL and wont be updated anymore. And armory crate is the only option going fwd.... BOOOOO.

I really dont understand that they dont realize that people dont like armory crate. LOL. People dont like bloatware.. They want a simple tool to set things and thats it. They dont need all the extras. Its too bad who ever is leading that team/department doesnt see this. Its like what happens when the lead developer of a game isnt a gamer. LOL. Its a shame.

I created a tool that FINALLY manages to properly uninstall/install AuraSync/LiveDash/AiSuite3 on Windows 11. Give it a try!
