Aside from the profile not automatically switching, even manually setting the profile as default results in it not working in the game. It keep using the default one.
Anybody else experiencing this?

 

Problems started appearing after following instructions to uninstall Synapse in regards to another issue. 

Double checked settings. Even did the trick of installing Chroma app to disable the apps.

So after losing 4 hours on my free day I solved this (for now). 

https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/1baxavq/solution_for_issues_reinstallinginstalling_razer/

I did a manual clean up, which resulting in the profile(s) to work again. 

  1. Manual Cleanup: I started by manually removing all Razer-related files and folders from my system, including:

    • C:\ProgramData\Razer

    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Razer

    • C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Local\Razer

    • C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\Razer

  2. Registry Cleanup: After backing up my registry, I removed entries related to Razer from the following paths (please be very careful with registry edits and ensure you have a full backup before making any changes):

    • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Razer

    • Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Razer

    • Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

 

It is super annoying that with each update you guys release something breaks or acts up. And we're stuck with finding a solution losing precious time.

Thak you, Razer has been good with responses to me, I will try what they suggested first and if that fails will try Synapse 3.  Will Synapse 3 work with the keyboard i have purchased? Deathstalker V2 pro tkl?
