CAM Software always broke?

[Cjhalgmad]

So is it just me or does every CAM update seem to just mess up one more thing. over the past few updates iv'e had a LOT of trouble having cam register my Kraken x62 and now that i got a hue+ things aren't getting any better. i had to unplug my USB header from the mobo to get it to register and even still, every now and again CAM still needs a re-install to get it to work. Sometimes when CAM turns on it says my CPU is at 0'C all the time (wish that were true) and sometimes it says that my GPU is N/A. Now that I have the HUE+ sync settings don't even work for me, only the Kraken actually changes the effects to the sync option. 

 

The point of this thread is to hopefully see how many other people are having the same issue as me as even though I love NZXT products, the software that you are required to use is frankly and unfortunately broken.

me too, absolutely awful s/w. ive always had trouble installing this cooler s/w. I believe I had too install "antec cc driver" to make it work.

Ok thank God. I love their products but damn, their software is always 1 step forward 2 steps back.

I recently updated CAM and have no issues so far. Had past issues where settings weren't being saved but fine now.

I would say now its mostly fine aside from incorrect readings and settings not working, but mainly the true issue is drivers uninstalling themselves somehow. i either have to reinstall the software or the USB header

That's f*cked mate. Wouldn't even use CAM anymore if that happened to me. It could be your system seeing as people have varying results. Not to say there's something wrong with it, changing and adding hardware can sometimes mess with programs.

I would prefer not to use CAM but I have too for the lights i spent £50 quid on lol. also the cooling is controlled through it so don't have a choice.
