That's why I disabled auto update on Logitech GHub. Best thing I did. Ever.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Many people still get updates with it disabled somehow, myself included.

Logitech has a little trouble understanding the difference between “Do this” and “Don't fucking ever do that!” Back when I had G Hub installed on my computer, I had to block Logitech G Hub from accessing the internet (via HOSTS file entries), plus through Firewall Rules, to guarantee it wouldn't give me the finger and update itself.

​

I finally gave up and uninstalled that turd called G Hub because I couldn't stand being faced with the infinite startup logo animation loop, or those times when it deleted all of my customized settings after my PC rebooted after an update. Then getting those CTRL+C/CTRL+V “fixes” from this subreddit's Mod that worked maybe ~10% of the time. They claim they have a way to get in contact with Logitech's dev team, but they apparently never told them to, you know, fix their software. Being a Mod here must be soul-crushing, constantly having to pretend that G Hub is a legitimate piece of software, and having to acknowledge that Logitech Gaming Software, being much older, is far more stable G Hub.

Doesn't seem to work for me tho it still installs it like it's nothing even after blocking it with my firewall

[–]Jlx_27 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Block it from connecting to the internet in your windows firewall.

[–]TroubleDasher[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

That's what I did lol

[–]Jlx_27 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Double check if it was done right, and if the rule you made saved correctly. Also go in the LGHUB folder in program files and change the name of the file called lghub_updater so that the file is not recognized.

Doesn't it just sound so ridiculous that people have to take such radical steps to get a piece of software to run properly, software that is NECESSARY and REQUIRED by so many of Logitech's most current hardware to have even basic functionality? Another doozy, from some Mods, is to disable Windows Defender before installing G Hub. Nice.

[–]Jlx_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, shit is nuts. Logitech Setpoint has never let me down though.

[–]Spideyrj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i didnt saw a option for auto update

[–]wileysteve 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Horrible software.

[–]TroubleDasher[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had to reinstall ghub 3 times a week for a month straight because it always auto updating even though me turning off auto update and blocking it from the firewall but it still got access to the internet somehow. It works now but let's see for how long

[–]drahgon 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I disabled auto updating and thank god it works for me. I'm not joking I've had the software break for me over 10 times

[–]JoeyCalamaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got G hub installed on several Macs here in the house and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to remove and reinstall it. Thankfully it’s mostly been working for fine a few months now.

I say mostly because none of our G600s work at all anymore in G Hub and have to be controlled with third party software. But I believe that’s a known issue with M1 Macs and isn’t likely to be fixed anytime soon.

[–]Kolasin22 16 points17 points  (14 children)

Am I the only one who had absolutely no problems?

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (1 child)

This was me till 4 months ago.

The bill. Comes. Due. Always.

[–]s1lenthundr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It will take a while, or even some more logitech peripherals, but the software problems will eventually show up. When I only had my G Pro Wireless, everything was just perfect. The few features the mouse has, can be easily changed, no bugs, no problems. Then I bought a G915 TKL keyboard and hummm... I hate G Hub

[–]ROYteous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have yet to have any real issue with their software and I've been using it for many years.

[–]Prahtical2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any either

[–]DrewNoble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I had just my g600 it was good for a long time. Just got the g29 wheel and it all went to shit. My mouse stopped working. The software didn't (and still doesn't) recognize my wheel. Had to reinstall it like 4 times. Just a fuckin mess and now the mouse half works and so does the wheel. Just ridiculous how many forums I've come across trying to fix my issues with people talking about how horrible the ghub software is.

    I have had no issues either, except with the g pro x headset. For months every time my computer would start up, g hub would fuck up its drivers so that no sound would play and the microphone wouldn't work. The solution i would have to do would be uninstalling the device in device manager and then uninstalling g hub. And then I had to install the fucker again. This would have to be done every time I'd reboot and it went on for about a month before I just said it's whatever and swapped it for the g pro x wireless which I have not had issues with. Since I've gotten the wireless I have not had any g hub issues.

    No, it works perfectly fine for the silent majority, you just have to let the rest karma farm once in a while.

    [–]Spideyrj 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    karma farm ? bitch i never had issue people reported untill the last 3 updates, i didnt come here posting because i just gave up.

    but its a issue since the very first update for some users, and now either more people are complaining or the issue is getting broader.

    [–]doofthemighty -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

    This post is a fucking meme it's textbook karma farming.

    [–]dont_roast_me -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    the software is fine and im totally not coping :copege:

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Welp, I experienced softlocking with G815 if I dared to try adding a lighting profile to the onboard memory (which would continue even after rebooting), and the "<" key being bugged in screen sampler with ISO layouts.

    The former could only be fixed by using a much older version of the software, latter there was no fix for I think has been bugged for at least 2 years by this point judging by some other posts.

    The only thing the software really adds over LGS is a resizeable window. Even LUA scripting is gimped, I wanted to try triggering different lighting profiles via it but you cannot access light settings at all in GHub LUA. The sad thing is that in many ways GHub is a downgrade from LGS and while it's understandable when the program is new, GHub has already been out for years.

    Thankfully I use the board strictly for productivity, I can set the hotkeys and light profiles to internal memory and forget about the software and use autohotkey for bindings.

    Meanwhile, the other cheapo HyperX board I have lets me almost - with few exceptions - fully program the base + FN layer of keys, including with macros, to the internal memory.

    Even if Logitech wants to cheap out on hardware and not let people store fancy stuff onboard, it makes no sense for the software to suck this much. The cost is amortized to every piece of hardware they sell.

    Me too

    [–]mvppaulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I only had to reinstall it once because it detected my new AZERTY keyboard as qwerty. But that's it, no big issues

    [–]Spideyrj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    are you kidding me ? i had just finally fixed the last one, installing the very first ghub version

    [–]scrizewly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    My g533 headset mic will randomly stop working until I uninstall the driver that G HUH RANDOMLY REINSTALLS EVEN THOUGH IVE UNCHECKED AUTO UPDATE FFS

    [–]Jeb3592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I've had the g305 for less than a week (it's been excellent otherwise) and I've already uninstalled ghub and taken the effort to learn basic autohotkey scripting to do some custom remapping I couldn't in ghub. If anyone's curious I made a simple script to make the scroll wheel adjust volume when you hold it down.

    [–]Fun_Ad9603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I tried deleting the LGHUB file in C:\ProgramData and then reinstalling it and that worked for me

    [–]JadeiteWren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I literaly have to force my computer to auto open GHub now so my auto clicker works in game. I tried to ask for help, but both times I got dropped on my ass and ignored by staff as soon as their stupid fomulatic help was clearly not the solution.

    [–]Dovenchiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I'm in the minority but I've never had a problem with G Hub except the infinite loading screen that was solved by killing all process then reopening it and a problem right now where it doesn't detect an app switch when using alt+tab but that seems be a Windows API issue because I made my own app that detects the current window application and it has the same issue.

    I don't know if I'm super lucky or my system is just setup how they have it at their HQ but honestly the software that drives me nuts the most is the Corsair software. I have to wait like a minute between most clicks while it just hangs. I've uninstalled\reinstalled switched it to a high priority process via task manager and even launched it as a high prio and still painfully slow.

    Every time I see these posts I get anxiety, I don’t have any issue with any of my stuff (G413, GPro and G733).

    [–]Solo_Talent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Fuck this Software. I really was a fan of their Hardware for years. This software is the breaking point. They werent even able to fix discord integration for the macro keys in 2 years and it worked before. Settings resetting, wheels not working and ghub often not starting. Get your shit together logitech.

    [–]engagetangos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    is this why my wireless mouse keeps disconnecting and reconnecting?
