Fantastic! Thanks again to the whole crew for all the time that goes into these updates. It's much appreciated!

[Popo-B-Trippin]

Great job, guys! Thank you!!!

[Hockeyhunter1956]

Thank you for all the hard work and keeping Vixen 3 as great software for my light show!

[jmassaro87]

Thanks for the update. Love the morph effect. I think the Wave effect is broken though. When changing the styles the preview (nor the effect in the sequencer) changes at all

[ShadowLight8]

Thank you for all the work you all do on Vixen!

[JCB]

I have reproduced the problem with the Wave effect. Sorry, I made a mistake in some maintenance on that effect. I am submitting a fix. I assume it will be included in an update "U1" to Vixen 3.7.

I updated last night and today whenever I click on "Setup Display" the program shuts down. Any ideas?

SOLVED

We need to see some logs. We have a couple people reporting crashes and others that are working just fine. Many folks have been using the dev builds all along so there is something odd going on. If you want to create a ticket at bugs.vixenlights.com and attach your logs, we can take a look and see what is going on.
