Light Converse - Lightconverse - Hog Connectivity Application doesn't launch

Hello everyone!

I’m trying to connect Hog4PC direct to Lightconverse on the same machine without success.

I downloaded the Connectivity Application (www.flyingpig.com/support/hog3/downloads/VisualizerConnectivity.shtml.foo) and followed the guide (lightconverse.net/lc/download/lightconverse_hog3%20direct%20connection%20guide.pdf) carefully.

The guide says on the first page: „2. As LIGHTCONVERSE opens, a Wholehog DP dialog box will open at the bottom right of your computer screen and a Hog icon will be placed in the Windows task bar„. But this isn’t the case.

I tried different versions of the Visualizer Connectivity tool, uninstalled it and installed it again. I’m using Windows 8.1.

I think the main problem is, that the previous installed Lightconverse (Net-In Version with dongle, installed months before Hog4PC), doesn’t launch this Connectivity tool. It’s another version of Lightconverse, then the one shipped as accessory to the hog consoles, but it supports HOG-Net (fixtures are patched on HOG-Net).

Does anyone have an idea or any experience with this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Lydia

I have a similar problem, when the LC open the driver 3.1 open fine but the new one 3.2 dont open i check the task bar and dont see it.
I re-install the old 3.1 and works then install again the 3.2 and this dont open.

The process change?
Im follow the HOG4_HOG_Connectivity_Driver_Guide.pdf manual only change the hog-net to fixture net port.

I'm having this issue as well.

I don't believe its a networking issue as i can join the show on my Full Boar 4 Running 3.2. from my HPC running 3.2. The networking is all there and working. The issue i'm having is that the Hog connectivity Driver doesn't launch when i launch LC. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the latest downloads and followed all of the guides above with no success.

Devin,

Read the current release notes for 3.2 paying attention to the overhaul of the connectivity to LC. I think this will help you in getting everything playing nice.

the connectivity driver doesn't have a pop-up window any more. that is normal.

if you set the computer running LC and your full boar to DHCP (on the fixturenet port) and have the visualizer stream running from the start menu of the fullboar they should be able to detect each other. it should be that simple.

I have a hog 3ipc and a full,boar on the way. On the ipc, with the last update done for the 3 series, the connectivity driver will not launch. Even with all networks off, and firewall disabled. Should I just give up and wait to use my full boar on Art-net?

Does it work with the fullboar when they both have the same settings (IP, net number etc)
Can you connect to a show that is started on the fullboar and then connect with the ipc to the show?

Is the correct connectivity driver installed in the matching version?

Matching software versions, IPC and full boar can see each other when networked, still no action from the connectivity driver.
