Keyboard cannot change lighting effect after synapse updated

I'm using RAZER HUNTSMAN. A few days ago, I updated my synapse 3 to newest version. After a period of time, I found that the lighting effect cannot be changed by switching profile with 'fn'+'application' key. For example, when I have 2 profiles, one is using RIPPLE light effect; another one is using WAVE light effect. I can switch between these two light effect with 'FN'+'Application' key on keyboard previously. But now, when I press 'FN'+'Application', it only changes my profile's key setting, not including the lighting effect. Now I can only change the lighting effect by clicking inside the synapse software. I have tried to reinstall synapse, but the same situation happens. Is it a bug for new version synapse? Thanks

I don't have a solution but I do have the exact same problem. My lighting effects will not sync with device profiles and I have to manually change the effects in Synapse. I tried setting different effects to each profile but the effects will not change despite having changed my profiles. Any solution?

There's a work around I believe. I found out that you have to use hypershift key and set a key to "Change Profile" with the "change lighting effect" option checked. Once you do that, it should be able to change the profile as well as your selected lighting effect.

I see. It can be a solution. But still, I hope Razer can fix this problem, because setting another key combination specially for changing profile and light effect is a bit annoying. XD
