This maybe entirely my imagination, but since upgrading to the latest software release I've noticed the desk feels a little sluggish. The 'hour glass' appears more often on what should be relatively simple key strokes, particularly the Record+ functions (e.g. Record + Focus). I've yet to actually plot/run a show on the new version software, although that is coming up very soon, so I'll be able to say more for certain if it's hanging more often. Is this something anybody else has experienced, or is it just my imagination perhaps?
Yea we are having the same problem. Our board has crashed twice in the past 3 days of tech week. Luckily we have been able to recover the show. What could be causing the sluggishness? Is it windows xp freaking out? Also when we updated we lost our origin screen configuration, and are haveing a hard time setting up our two screens back to the way they were.
Follow up: will a show file written by Congo V6 run in 5.1? We're no longer confident that V6 is stable enough for a show, but we open in two days. If we "downgrade" back to Congo V5.1, will the show file work?
Show file backwards compatibility: Because of the large changes to preset and time ranges in v6, a v6 show file cannot be read by v5.1. The old version have no possibility to understand the new preset and time information correctly. This makes it difficult to go back from v6 to v5.1 since a lot of data will be misinterpreted.
How much work have you done on the show file in v6? If there is a limited amount of work done on the new version, we could try to merge your changes with a show file from v5.1, if you have one. Please let me know if we can be of any assistence.
