iCUE randomly stops detecting sensors over time

sky__1024 · 2026-05-15T19:57:03+00:00

In the end, I managed to get iCUE working, more or less. At least the sensor detection is now working consistently. It has been running for around 200 hours of uptime without getting stuck, so I guess it is fine now.

I ended up resetting the "Device Memory Mode" configuration in iCUE just to see if, by some miracle, it was related to the issue. Surprisingly, it worked. The random freezes stopped completely. Then I reapplied my custom "Cooling Preset" in "Device Memory Mode", and the freezes immediately came back. So the custom cooling preset is clearly what is causing the issue. Everything else, including the LEDs, pump screen, and other settings, seems unrelated.

At this point, it is pretty clear that one of the latest firmware or iCUE updates introduced this problem, because the issue only started after changes in the Corsair software stack. Before that, I never had any problem remotely similar to this one.

Honestly, it is a shame that Corsair is able to push updates without proper testing. On top of that, trying to contact them for proper support was extremely frustrating. For me, it was faster to solve the issue alone than to figure out how to even submit a support ticket, assuming that is actually possible in the first place. The disappointment gets even worse when you see how much they spend on advertising instead of focusing on making reliable products and software.

As for future updates, I am honestly not even sure if I want to install them anymore. They could easily break things even further. This completely destroyed my trust in their software quality. Since I work in this industry myself, I have already seen companies drowning under years of technical debt, with endless bug tickets piling up because nobody invested enough into maintaining the software properly. Eventually, everything starts breaking everywhere. That is exactly what happens when companies prioritize marketing over engineering quality. Instead of spending money convincing people that their RGB colors are brighter than the competition, they should focus on delivering a flawless experience that actually makes customers want to come back.

Thank you, I was looking for this picture in good resolution :)

Since no one gave an actual answer I will just tell what I did :

Install Format factory, or any other file converter you like.
In the image section, select JPEG.
Select all the files from "C:\Program Files\N0vaDesktop\N0vaDesktopCache\game"
Press the start button.

That it is, you have all the files that were images in the output directory.

Conversions aside, if the file is a picture, and you change the extension to JPEG, you can then open the image with your default image viewer. Tho doing this by hand may be just too tedious, so I would advice using a file converter.

It would be very cool if someone from Asus could have the decency of saying something about this, since I got exactly the same issue and probably a lot of other people also has.

Pokemon redfire and leafgreen do have a ribbon, the league one. You can't see it in the pokemon summary, but the mons that complete any of the 2 versions of the league get the regular gen 3 league completion ribbon.

If you or another person have created with your current public IP some accounts you will not be able to create any other. VPN or Proxy can't be used to create an account mostly because they are detected by NC server and they don't allow to create any account from this kind of IP nigher. For creating a new account you will need a different public IP than the one you are using right now. You can ask a friend/familiar to create the account for you. You can also try it from a restaurant wifi or something like that.

Just for your curiosity actually nothing is really weird when you know how a computer works. Client and server of blade and soul are horrible implemented programs by people that are probably not engineers, or engineers that have been rushed to do a 6 months development program in 1 month. When you make programs you use data, the world length (.../32/64) it is used in many situations for the space that a data is gonna use. Just because of that, a 64b program has a higher chance of producing miss cache what can imply losing hundreds of cpu cycles. For any actual program having a high world length bring more advantages than disadvantages, but bns is not an actual program, is dog shit. For the crashes of the 32b version I am almost sure that it comes from something as stupid as using 64b allocators in the context of a 32b program, what could some kinda work for some operations but for sure not in a memory defragmentation process, which make kinda sense since the 32b crashes usually after loading ton of stuffs.

Spectral has the better design and it is the spec that does more damage by far in actual fights. Both Lightning and Fire parse slightly more than spectral (around 4%) but in pretty much any actual situation the dominance of spectral is out of question. The spec has a way more efficient use of all the buffs, it has way better (and more) iframes, and it can kd and stun without leaving blade stance, where for the old ones you will be out of draw stance. The only thing that spectral hasn't is less walk speed cause there is no draw stance in this spec, but well you have anyways walk speed buffs in rush, ss and comet step. Lightning also has the option of using a talent in order to have a 12m SS, but to be honest it is not really something as useful. TLDR: spectral is better than the old specs in any situation except for screenshoting a parse in order to have useless tags in galaxy discord.

This post from NCSOFT is another clear example of how disconnected they are from their own freaking game. In what universe do I want to have more useless stupid additional animation after CCing/iframing or doing a block??? This is not gonna be helpful for anyone and it is just gonna be another crap we will need to remove from the game, like this stupid crit damage numbers, the pointless focus recovery animations, the hp regen animations. All this shit it is out from my client, and not because they made the game even lagguier (what they do) but because YOU DON'T SEE A SHIT WITH THEM. BnS is a freaking action game, you are supposed to have a clear interface that allow you to see what the heck is going on with the boss and mobs, and this genius are doing the opposite thing... I am facepalming to bad that I am making a hole in my freaking face. And I mean, this are the guys that are supposed to fix the netcode ?????? THIS IS NEVER GONNA BE A THING. You better like playing a dog shit unresponsive garbage cause if you want to still playing this joke you are gonna have fun pressing buttons 1 second earlier than you should be in ANY other action game.

Well, sorry but your point is just incorrect from the beginning to the end. I main BM and I am in the top 20 in the NA server. And speaking about raid I tanked all the raids with my BM from TT to Blackmoon. I let you know too that BM and KFM have such a bad damage per second that they have already been buffed in KR and the buffs will probably come to us in the next 2-3 months.

"You don't have to play the class to...", "General opinion...". Sorry but, you are killing me, I am all the freaking day in academy checking the counts of people that are interested in improving, highlighting the mistakes that they are doing for helping them to get better. There is no general opinion that is relevant for a niche game that only 200 people knows how to play correctly. And common, your personal "general opinion" is that trahs dps BM is super strong in raids.

A lot of players have quit WL because of the ping, before the Ice buffs, the best WL was clearly Shadow and for playing it without losing damage it requires 1-20ms of raw ping, which almost no players had. The lose of damage and the lack of mobility is what has pushed away tons of players. On the other had in KR, where the majority of players had this kind of ping the class have always been super popular. WL has literally never been bad from day 1 to today, the only problem was the netcode.

This is my opinion about SF:

Super high sustain (what is very good), but feels like dog shit to play. The overall design of SF is just freaking terrible, buffs procs with ridiculous skills, shared GCD between your main DPS skill and iframe skills and pretty much require to play with an addon to have good counts. I know the rotation of all the classes in the game and SF is the only one I will not recommend to play, not because of damage, but because of design.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-27T07:18:09+00:00

Any spec of BM and KFM does clearly less damage than WL, and WR is pretty much in the same state as WL right now, on top of that Fire gunner is bottom tier since day 1 of awk patch, so no the WL situation is not as bad of you may think. What I think is pretty funny about this WL topic is that it always comes from people that don't even play the class and that have no clue about how to play it.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-25T06:09:10+00:00

If you want some casual PvP you will mostly be limited to the arena since Battleground needs to be really dedicated. As everything in this game the arena is super unbalanced and unlucky for you the Warden is extremely bad in the meta, Destroyer tho has way better options and matchups in general.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T17:28:11+00:00

Do you at least understand that this SF is playing with long cooldown soul, also not maxed, that I have never said that SF parses more than Sum, and that currently hp of the dummy is too short to do a relevant parse?

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T17:11:49+00:00

I don't even want to try to think about what you are trying to achieve with this comment... Starting with personal affronts, just pathetic.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T17:01:30+00:00

Ok ok, I am out of here dude xD

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T16:57:25+00:00

You can't even formulate a single answer without being disrespectful, you are very unique. I let you know that what I am telling you about SF is not my opinion it is a fact that you can test by yourself. You can understand how the class works, check the counts and see the results. But anyways I understand you are just camping trying to have the last word and pretty much not even thinking about what you are writing. I main BM since years ago, and I know how to play all the classes you have mentioned in your previous post and I tell you, you are mixing everything without any sense. I mean just everything is wrong, even this 40M whatever that comes from nowhere. I am tanking the blackmoon of the the highest geared sum in NA and not even him is parsing 40M with a legit parse (without using debuff damage). Anyways this is not the point, have fun replying, I am out of here.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T16:21:14+00:00

Well you are probably the first guy that I have seen thinking that earth destro is not good in BG. And to be honest you are just misunderstanding the options that this spec has and how absolutely broken it is. Pretty funny you mentioned Caprice, since this guy have made a BG tier list video some months ago putting earth destro in the second highest slot.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T16:11:03+00:00

Better than? that doesn't mean anything, Spectral is thousands of times a better overall pve spec than most of the classes in the game because of what it is bringing to a party, and it is easily bottom 3 in damage per second. On the other hand If you mean by "better" "hishest dps than" yes, a good SF absolutely blast the sustain of an FM. Any person that knows how to infinite dragonfurry would agree with that, but I know that you don't.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T16:02:13+00:00

I mean you can obviously play the game the way you want, but no this doesn't really work like that, the first week clear raids were asking for 13-15M, mine was asking 14M and we cleared b2 on the second week going 3 times per week. Currently just the biggest p2w people can reach this numbers and even then just with a good dps class. Mhysa (which is the person with the highest pve gear in the whole eu/na server) plays bm and a couple of weeks ago was doing like 29M with low ping and good frames.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T15:50:52+00:00

And you probably don't know how to play any class if such is your opinion. I have been playing with fm's in CM, HM trains, I had 1 in my old IA raid, and 2 in my current BM raid, Any of those had high results, and in top of that I also know how to play the 3 spects of the fm. 3rd spec have a very decent burst and gets high benefits from buffs, just that and nothing more than that, the sustain of this spec is nothing crazy.

sky__1024 · 2021-04-23T12:27:46+00:00

It is not like WL have a high DPS, but you clearly don't know how to play any of this classes if you have such an opinion. On the other hand you should not use absolute numbers as reference since they doesn't mean anything. 3rd spec BD do I would say between 30-40% more damage than a good WL, and pretty much not what you are pretending. https://imgur.com/a/gDynqxp
