Connecting Cobalt Offline to Capture, 7.3.1 vs 8.0

Question

Hi, 
 I have Cobalt Offline 7.3.1 installed in a Windows 10 and connected to an instance of Capture running on the same PC using the Microsoft loopback adapter. This works fine. 
 I have now installed Cobalt 8.0 in addition on the same PC and have it set up with the same settings (both versions seem to share their settings). Capture does not show any external sACN universes. It's as if Cobalt 8.0 wasn't sending any sACN at all even though Enable Output in Offline Mode is set. 
 Is this a bug in Cobalt 8.0 or am I missing something? 
 
 Another puzzler: I have opened the Net3/ACN Device List in Cobalt 8.0 but now the menu item is gone from the browser of both versions.

Hi, 
 
Thank you for your assistance in uncovering this issue!! 
 
Enabling ACN under the interface protocols is done to allow for RDM devices to be seen by Cobalt. I have investigated and unfortunately it does look like offline mode is not outputting correctly. We will add the fix to the next version. In the meantime if you start a session normally it will still output as expected. 
 
Thank you,
