Hi,  I am sorry to ask this question or make this comment as it has been in the 13 pages of post multiple times already.....  So I have a Mac... And I would like to know exactly what I have to buy to get this obsidian launcher working...  I have heard of virtual PC.... If this works then I guess I have to buy that and then do I still have to buy a windows program?  I suspect it may be cheaper to buy a cheaply cheap laptop already preloaded....  I wish there was a Mac version of this launcher...  In almost ten years this is the first time I have actually regretted switching to a Mac....  Thanks to any for the advice...  I have one techno guy at work who may be able to help so I will hit him up when gets back from vaca (figuratively speaking... Not actually wacking him with saber Smiley
Show him saber,  and he will come:).

I'm having trouble with this since the new version.  I cannot get the launcher to load no matter what I do.  I run it as administrator and install it as administrator but it never loads.  I uninstalled and re-installed but still nothing.  I'm turning the saber on, plugging it in, and then running launcher but the launcher does not come on.  I've had zero problems with the previous version.  Any insight?

I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

Am i the only one with major issues with the New Obsidian Launcher?

I just got my Emerald Belicose and i ordered it with Blazing red, but then i wanted to try to mess arround with it.
I followed the instruction videos on how to use this program, but when i start it it says "An unexpected error has occured. Please contact support if the problem persists". Now when i turn my blade on it does'nt lit up, it on lits up if you clash it and if i do, it lights up as blue :s?

Somebody explain to me how to get the program working beacuse i can't do 1 single thing with it and every time i press a menu that error message pops up...

Someone please, i want to use my saber so badly!

I get a lot of errors when running this program. Even when I have not connected any saber in the USB slot, it tells me that an unexpected error has occured. When I plug the USB in, I also get an error, but I get an obsidian USB serial number. When I try to "Write Sound Fonts" I get an "Device Configuration Failed" error.

Where can I download previous version of this launcher?

@kakaduan: If you're following the instructions, did you also pay attention to the "run it as admin" thing? Also, be sure to change cour locale settings to US (if you're not an US resident) before running the program. Otherwise you'll encounter even more problems than only that message.
How did you order your saber? Did you choose any blue shade for FoC? If not, then it's probably an Emerald board issue. Try to remove the batteries in order to reset your saber. After that your saber should be working again. This can happen if you have communication problems between the Launcher and the saber, especially when using a faulty USB cord or when your batteries are not charged completely.

@Akimoto: For the error at the Launcher startup, try the "run as admin" option and change your locale settings to US (if you're not an US resident). The other errors can occur if you have either a faulty USB cord or, which is more possible, batteries that are not charged completely. Always charge them before you make changes, otherwise you'll encounter errors or damage your boards

Does not change anything. Installed as admin and run as admin. My computer is English. I have tried two different USB cords, a long and a short one. The batteries have been fully charged as well.
The symptoms indicate faulty software as I get an error just by running the software, regardless or not having an ultrasaber connected.

Turn your saber on, then plug cable into saber. then usb end into laptop. wait for it to detect everything. 

~Also use a different usb or RETARD pc, then  follow the steps I gave you.  let me know if that works!~


/praise

1st shot!

After spending a full week, Sat to Sat, trying every solution on all of the "problem" threads, (and there were a alot of them, none of which helped my issue)

I pulled out the old POS alienware and ran the launcher like a dream... Huh

.....hmph, never woulda guessed it

Similar story but different ending...  I tried continuously to get boot camp running on my Mac for a virtual PC... No luck... My Mac air may be too old or has had to many updates... Anyway I got a cheaply dell laptop with windows XP and loaded the launcher as well as required updates and it worked like a charm on the first try.  Way to go US for keeping PC alive...  Tongue. Seriously though, the launcher  works perfectly and the product is fantastic...   Now to work on next orders... Hmmm...

Easy to solve: change your locale to US, then you should have no problem with the times and colour previews in the Launcher Smiley

I've been trying constantly to get this launcher to load up and I'm at a loss.

I'm running Win 7, the saber is brand new and I'm using the 3.1.4 launcher in this thread.

Whenever I double click the launcher, whether it's through the desktop shortcut or the actual exe file in the folder, nothing happens. I can see the Obsidian program in the processes on my task manager so I know it's loaded up in some capacity but it refuses to show. The saber itself is recognized by the pc and the drivers install just fine. That part's actually the least of my concern.

I've re-downloaded, uninstalled, re-installed. All multiple times and all both as an administrator and just normally. Still nothing. I tried it once on another computer and it actually worked the first time. Then after I closed it, the same problem occurred and it won't start up again. I'd done literally nothing to the computer in that time between.

I'm not sure what else there is I can do at this point.


Hello guys

I've been searching this topic's pages for a while and have noticed this problem above coming up a few times. I havent yet found an answer to this that solves the problem. I too have a new emerald saber and tried the launcher. Worked fine. shut down the program. all good. then tried again, program wont pop up at all. process is running but doenst actually seem to do anything, regardless of a saber being connected to the pc at all. Tried re-installing, running installer and program as admin, and even in various compatability modes (winxp, win7), but no success. I myself am running on win8.
It seems to be a problem with the software program, and not with the saber or anything between the saber and the software.

There's no Mac version available right now. You can only run it on a Windows PC until there's a final Mac version available. Or you use Bootcamp to run a Windows copy on a Mac and run the Launcher that way.

Not the answer you will want to hear, but right now you can use a Virtual Machine to run a virtual Windows Operating system, or you can use something like WineBottler
