Please check the Log file for any errors. It's in %AppData%\\GameDog\\logs Also check if your firewall or AV might not block GameDog from opening a Port. Try running as Administrator.

thank you for the quick response

I've disabled windows FW and the only thing that I can see on the log file

is

GameDog.ViewModels.MainViewModel - IsSdkAvailable returns false.

don't know what it means

I've also tried with admin priv

thanks

Sorry for the late response.
Does this always show when you start GameDog?
Just to make sure: The "Toolbar" you mean is the Home, Games, Settings at the top, right?
It should actually display an error message when the error happens you receive in your log. Make sure the SDK is installed under Programs and Features and if it is not, try reinstalling Synapse.

Right now the Razer SDK does not allow Apps to uninitalize the SDK but they are working on it. Once this is done GameDog will allow that 🙂

Hi,
Very good job with this app, I tried it for over a week, and it worked perfectly for me...
However, I'm trying this past days, and it has stopped working. I can start the app, and Enable it on Razer Synapse, and then, my Chroma profile freezes, but when I start CSGO, it doesn't go yellow (how it did when it worked), and I get my freezed profile while playing.
Please, I need help !

It's really weird that it suddently stopped. You did restart your computer (and not just put it to sleep) to see if it works afterwards?

Lately this issue seems to be more common. Did you by any chance update Synapse before it stopped working? I somehow suspect the recent Synapse update even so the official Release Notes don't state anything Chroma related and the Update works for me with the Mamba TE (only thing I can test right now).

As a workaround it should work to turn off synapse completly before starting GameDog and then CS:GO and keep Synapse turned off: Rightclick on the icon in the taskbar and choose to close Razer Synapse.

Actually, I have moved between two houses in the past weeks, and it gave me this error in both of my computers, which I turned off and restarted multiple times. As you say, it's weird. I'll try to exit Synapse and see if it works.
I'll let you know on further news.

I sort of have a problem, I have Steam and CS:GO installed on different partitions, when I launch gamedog, it does turn my keyboard yellow signifying the program is working correctly, but when I go to GAMES it doesn't list anything, any idea on how to solve this issue?

Yes. Go to Settings and make sure to set the path to the CS:GO folder correctly for example like so:
G:\\steam\\SteamApps\\common\\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\\

I've already tried to exit Synapse and use Gamedog, but it still gives me the same problem.
I don't know what else I can try... :frown_:

It seems like latest Update really included some Chroma changes even so it works for me here for the Mamba TE and I can't try the blackwidow and Firefly before I get home on Monday evening (or even Tuesday).

Can you check what version of the SDK you have installed? When you start Programs and Features you can see the Version of the "Razer Chroma SDK Core Components".

I have version 1.2.4

Thanks. That's the latest one as far as I know.
Would be nice if you could give me a few more informations:

What Chroma Devices do you use?

What OS are you using?

Do you use any other Chroma App or could you try another one?
Best thing would be to try a non Colore App for example the Audio Visualizer and see if it works or gets stuck, too.

So just to understand it right: The current Color of the Mouse just gets stuck and doesn't change to yellow as it's supposed to do? And that started just a few days ago?Did this by any chance start after the Synapse Update? (Check the installation date of the Razer SDK where you looked for the Version number)
This issue occures on two independed computers?

Did you unplug/replug your device(es) into different USB Ports?

Happy to hear that. Because this program is very cool. Must be keyboard main app. Thank you!

I'm using a Blackwidow Chroma.
I'm using Windows 8 in both of the independent computers.
I also tried the Audio Visualizer and it works perfectly.
If, for example, I'm using a Police chroma profile, when I start Gamedog, it freezes, and when I start CSGO, the color doesn't go to yellow, and any effects are shown. It started this Friday, it worked good all Xmas. Honestly, I didn't even realize Synapse had updated, I didn't got any message, and I don't know how to search for updates.
The SDK was installed on the 3rd of January 2016 on this computer, I can't check the other one until next week.
I will try to unplug/replug the USBs

then it doesnt work with CSGO

Check if when you start GameDog there is a config file being created under:
SteamApps\\common\\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\\csgo\\cfg
Called "gamestate_integration_gamedog.cfg".
