Chroma + Hue - No more custom Synapse layout?
Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a pack of Philips Hue bulbs, which I immediately set around my monitors, knowing that Synapse can link the technologies.
But after experimenting a bit with the possibilities, it seems there is a major flaw that I havent been able to find a solution to.
The 'entertainment mode' from Philips' application, that is meant to adapt depending what happens on your computer (music, video, gaming) seems to override everything. And by a everything, I mean both Razer's very lighting profiles but even Hue's own parameters.
What really bugs me is that now, my Blackwidow or Firefly don't even do response lighting layouts : for example, when playing Overwatch, you should have a color depending on the character, along some ingame info appearing on the keyboard (cooldowns and effects among others). But when I actived the sync with Hue to get the lighting ambiance on top, it overrides that. It's not that bad, but now the whole setup is one color rather than having many little things as it used to be, with what I expected to be just the ambiance lighting from the bulbs to increase immersion. Now the whole thing is immersive.
Synapse Studio doesn't allow anything, given it says that Hue now controls the lighting system. It seems a bit reductive given how much effort Razer has put into having a lot games to have special profiles in them, only to see it overrided by some lightbulbs behind a screen.
TL;DR - Hue overrides Synapse layouts in games, is there no fix?
