The new cortex app is just...



Razer Cortex is glitching out, every time I open it it just does the windows failed to launch and says "This file is corrupted and will not launch." What should I do?


Sorry to hear that. Maybe that happens because one of these.

1. The installation of Cortex beta was interrupted cause installer failed to extract.
2. Some installation files of Cortex beta was corrupted.
3. The installer was corrupted.(This one happens extremely low.)
4. Installation was successed, but files corrupted after closing installer.(I think Cortex beta installer is fine, but some programs got this issue. Don't make the conclusion with other cases.)

In my opinion, you should reinstall Cortex beta. Download Cortex from website and upgrade it to beta.

the fps counter doesn't show with the game loading

Hey there!

Thank you very much for being a beta tester of Razer Cortex 10. My name is Michelle from the Razer Cortex technical support team. I will be delighted to assist you with your concern.

Here could you please let us know which game you played? As games with anti-cheat software will block the FPS display feature, the FPS counter will not display in games with anti-cheat software.

We look forward to your reply.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,
Michelle

The new UI looks pretty neat, but I am missing the playtime that used to be on the game that you select.

Hey there!

Thank you very much for taking part in our beta testing. It's great to know that you like the new UI. We also improve the whole performance of Razer Cortex. We'd especially love to hear from our users if you have any comments, feedback, or any bugs you encounter.

Regarding the gameplay time issue, if I understand you correctly, you mean that you lost the gameplay time recorded in Cortex 9, am I right?

Razer Cortex 9 saves the data on the local PC, your gameplay time would be lost if you reinstall Razer Cortex. While Razer Cortex 10 saves the data in the cloud, the data will keep in our app if you reinstall Razer Cortex as long as you log in with the same Razer ID. Since the way is different, some data would be lost in Razer Cortex 10. But if the game is from Steam, GOG, Origin, or Ubisoft Connect, the lost data would be back by connecting Razer Cortex to the platform.

We look forward to your reply.

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you very much for your kind support. You are right. This friend needs a reinstallation. @GoGoGoSushi, could you please reinstall Razer Cortex 10? You can install Razer Cortex 9 first and update to Razer Cortex 10, or you can install the beta version directly here: https://rzr.to/Cortex10Beta

Please never hesitate to let us know if you have any comments, feedback, or bugs you encounter.

Thank you very much for your patience.

The new Cortex look is fire, I think it could use a little smoothing out. (Smooth transition from tabs etc.)

Well, you can able it in windows settings.
First, you need to search 'animation' in windows settings. Next turn off and turn on that features.
I can't customize my game, someone please help me.

Hello, @27awesome23! It's first time to see you in this thread.

In my opinion, your post isn't relative with Cortex Beta. But it should be nice if your post was a new thread of General Discussion or Razer Cortex forum.
I hope you post a new thread about this more.
Great Job , amazing this

Hello, @bookClaretinteractive417! Nice to meet you!

Sorry to saying this, but there's no way to kill onedrive process in cortex. I think it's windows services, but unable to detect.

But you can stop syncing files manually. Just click onedrive icon > setting icon > pause syncing and select time you wanted to pause.

It's a shame to learn this, we should be able to kill a process by name without having to depend on detection.

If zou like to tinker around zou could create a desktop shortcut that runs a kill command.
Good Luck!

Hello, @Maximusisback! Nice to meet you!

I'm sorry, but there's a problem with this. If we just kill onedrive processes, it could cause some error with online files. (I lost some of my files when I tried it.) So, I don't recommend that method.
This pc is amazing
I like the new design - it's AMAZING.

In Razer Cortex 10 Beta, games with anti-cheat software will not display FPS counter to avoid potential risks. Valorant has the anti-cheat software, that is why the FPS counter does not display.

Thank you for your patience.

Hey there!

Thank you for sharing your inquiry here. Razer Cortex has added Microsoft OneDrive to our white list to avoid the potential risk of damaging your files. That is to say, Razer Cortex will not stop the syncing process when boosting. If you want to stop sync when playing games, please check this article and stop the process for some hours.
