OS 14.0.3 Release experiences

1st Official Post
    The Profiler Model referred to in this thread is ...
    ☑️ Profiler Player

    I am on win 11 latest version here.

    Just installed the release version of the 14.0.3 OS when prompted. New OS release version installed OK. Rig Manager v61 did not install correctly. I reinstalled a few times over - tried two different downloads, repairing and uninstalling by different methods etc. No dice.

    I wondered if the ASIO driver might be the issue so I tried a restart and then a new Icon for Rig Manager appeared in the Start Menu and everything seems to be OK. Might be necessary to restart to complete the new install.

    After updating to OS 14.0.3 Release and Rig Manager 4.0, Rig Manager has become very laggy when selecting or activating rigs. The Kemper unit responds immediately and plays back correctly, but switching rigs within Rig Manager is shown noticeably slow. I click or double click on a rig and it takes several seconds until it responds visible. I can’t work like this at all and will have to roll back to the previous version. I sincerely hope this isn’t related to having a large number of rigs, as I use Rig Manager as a large amp and cab library, which has worked perfectly well until now.

    Same here, unfortunately…

    Also noticed that all my classic rigs are now way lower in volume on OS14. All settings are the same. To confirm my impression I did make recordings and rolled back to OS 13. And yes in DAW it shows clearly that OS14 is around 4dB less volume!!

    One well known problem with the Player is still not fixed in 14.0.3: Monitor Output source is always Master Stereo after reboot. The Value shown in Rig Manager always correctly remembers the last setting. But you always hear Master Stereo, even if any other Value is shown after reboot.

    I always set it to Master Stereo and back to Master Mono, then its working fine until the next reboot. Then it's again: Master Mono is shown in Rig Manager, but in fact Master Stereo can be heard.

    For now, you can't use Rig Manager and a DAW using ASIO drivers on Windows at the same time. ASIO on Windows will have all the features back in an update. Sorry for any inconveneince caused.

    Sorry, but with all that issues (instable RM, no DAW connection...) - why is that a public release?

    I´m rolling back to OS13 because its impossible to work with OS14.

    I also experienced the v1 profiles being lower in volume. I also have been unable to get rig manager to see the profiler when connected by usb although I haven't spent much time messing with it I never had that problem before ever with any firmware.

    GString just to report it also here (I already contacted support). With the new beta, as well as with the new release, I am having issues also with the generic drivers (not only the ASIO).

    Indeed program like GuitarPro does non recognise any longer the Player, and cannot reproduce audio through it.

    Everything works if I revert to OS 13.

    Same here, everything is laggy in RM

    Unfortunately, the Kemper Stage MKII still has the problem of a loud popping sound when starting up.

    The problem seems to be solved when shutting down, but there's still a loud popping sound when starting up, even in version 14.0.3.

    Sorry, but this should be clearly audible during testing.

    Same here! GuitarPro won't function with the Player on OS 14. But with my Mk1 Powerrack also on OS 14 does.
