Over the years I have completed quite a few sequences using Xlights for all of my stuff, RGB and A\C stuff last year everything worked as it should. I always backup my files, I always save my sequences, this year I removed a lot of static elements from my show, so instead of running 15 Lynx express controllers I pared it down to 8, I opened xlights and am currently running V52 I then re-assigned channel numbers to my remaining A\C elements, makes for fewer extension cords. Now the sequences that I used last year if I open them up using v40 it shows every effect is there but when I render it and hit play the effects are not visible, if I open the sequences using v52 the effects are not even there. The effects I am talking about are strictly for my A\C singing element, all RGB stuff works as expected.
I hope I have explained my self fairly clearly any ideas??
