I'm experiencing a weird problem with my Hog3PC 2.6.0 Build 2071. I know that previous versions of the software would not allow you to run it, close it, and run it again without a reboot. However, with this version, it seemed to work okay until I started using it.
I would run the program and create a new show. I'd patch, create some cues and save the show. Then I would close the program and run it again to create a new show. (I know you're wondering so I'll tell ya... I teach the OS for a lighting course and each student comes in individually and I walk them through the basics). However, the second running of the program without a reboot would allow output to dimmers through the programmer but when the cues are saved to a cue, even though the cue has the correct contents, the cue would not show output. Shutting down the program, rebooting the computer and then running the cue again, the cue runs with no problems.
Now I'm just setting up for a production that opens in a week and I've run the program ONCE and it exhibited this behavior again. I tried to PARK some dimmers (house/works while my crew were hanging) and the lights went to 0 when I hit PARK. I tried many times... no go. Saved the house/works to a cue and ran the cue.. no output. From the Programmer, no problem. After a reboot, parking and cues work fine.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
