Cross DJ 4 not starting anymore

Hi,

After upgrade to Cross DJ 4.20 , neither 4.20 or 4.1 or 4.0 are running anymore ('32 or64bits versions) : with or without U-Mix Control Pro device connected or not

The software starts , shows the splash screen then stop

PC up to date, no AV except Windows Defender , PC rebooted
Cross DJ reinstalled as well

Installed ASIO4ALL and removed U-Mix Control Pro app

Is there any way to get a log file somewhere ? :evil:

I'll give a try on v3.43
=> installed it right away and worked flawlessly on 64bits on BlueTooth (didn't try ASIO4ALL yet)
=> asks for serial over and over depending on which version is used ????

Try deleting (/renaming) the mixvibes.settings file.
Located in your Win local user profile folders

Very strange situation.
Assume you use W10?
Try repeating the delete/rename.

Now only use the 32 bit version till everything in the setup works. Only after this use 64bit version. Just to make sure that it's not a driver issue somehow.

You could also try if you can create a (txt) file in the .settings folder.
Once created open it and edit (create) content. Now save. Then rename the file.
By this you tested if you have rights to create, rename and edit. Which you should have for this folder.

If you DJ for $$$$'s, IMHO, stay away from V4.2, even if you can get it to stay open - too many unresolved problems.

Playing only for friends on birthday gigs so don't bother too much but so disappointed from the low/bad quality of the release 4.x on PC (hope it's not the same on Macs)

Have auto Hotcues disapperead after analysis ? :redface:

Worked for 2 hours tin row hen failed to restart after laptop sleep
Reboot didn't solve the issue and I had to jumb back to 3.43 : hopefully I had saved my playlist into M3U

Restarted OK this morning : really unreliable as software

Is the 32bits version more stable ?

Are they still developing the software for DJs or they gave up already and everyone will have to move to other softwares more reliable ?

My previous bug in Autoplay is still there when you re order on the fly the list and move to the next song => crash
Maybe it works with Autoplay only when the list is static :(

As well Automatci HotCues disappeared !!!
