Need Profile for GLP X4s

I have six GLP X4S in my plot and cannot find a profile that works for them.  Running ETC ION 2.8.2 build 8 with the fixture library version 2.8.1.2. 

I don't need individual pixel control at the fixture, just the usual, pan, tilt, intensity, RGBW, shutter strobe, CTO, Zoom. All of the pre-made profiles have caused my fixtures to be in some kind of perpetual macro effect flashing red and green, with random pan and tilt parameters. I have also tried a few variations and edits of the "normal" mode, and of the "high-res" mode, as suggested by a few forums around the internet. I've consulted the manual, but I can't seem to figure out which parameter is the one causing issues. I might be missing a piece of information, but I feel like I've exhausted most of my practical knowledge. Any advice for how to achieve basic control would be appreciated!

Thanks!

    Hi all,

    Thanks for the replies! After deleting the patch of the fixtures, resetting the modes on the fixtures, and repatching with both the fixture and console in "Normal" mode, I believe I have full control. I didn't get "Hi-Res" mode to ever fully work (if I had more time...), but "Normal" is more than enough for my needs.

    At some point in the process I also disabled RDM over the ETC Response nodes that were providing data to the fixtures for an unrelated issue. I don't have any empirical evidence to suggest that this affected the result either negatively or positively.

    FYI: there is a feature on these fixtures that prevents pan and tilt if menus are being navigated.
