Having the following issue
1) installed razor Synapse 3 (as i followed the instructions on git)
**Note only the Synapse 3 was installed. nothing else (all other apps are unchecked as i assumed only the Synapse app is needed)
2) when running elite chroma I get an error "elite chrome is unable to find the razer chroma SDK"
Also i didn't find the option to install the SDK...

your kind help is needed
 
Update:

Even that the installation steps don't mention to install any other module (only Synapse 3) I tried installing the Chroma connect module.
Now Elite Chroma app starts and then immediately crashes, event log shows 2 entries:
(note i tried also running as admin with same results and also note this is fresh win11 installation + all latest .NET distributions)

The TG Factory error/crash is due to new thargoid content that EC doesn't recoginse. I had it with the maelstroms until Elrith updated it. He had issues getting notifications from the forums so my guess is thats the issue now as the last issue I raised is still untouched. I'll raise an issue on github as thats where he initially responded before.

Thanks, u mean my startup crash and error is related to the thargoid content even that the game is still not running?
regardless appreciated if you can add my crash/logs to the GIT and hopefully to have this fixed asap.
many thanks

Sorry for the long delay. Version 1.18.2 is out with the fix. Please grab it and let me know how it goes.
 
hey so i just installed the v1.18.2 app, and i gotta say i absolutely love it! which makes the issue im having just that much more frustrating: the lighting seems to randomly switch to the default macro for the razer blade 15 and wont go back to the EC macro until i open synapse 3 or click out of the game, or both. i dont know what triggers it or how to find out; any help helping you, help me, would be greatly appreciated haha @Elrith . as i said i absolutely love the app, it just shuts down randomly with no explanation
 
Considering buying a Razer Huntsman V2 keyboard and found this while googling for Elite Dangerous Razer Chroma stuff. Judging by Falcon's post I'm assuming this is still supported, or at least working. Is there any documentation? I'm wondering whether it's possible to automatically highlight different key groups (i.e relevant keys) depending on what state the game is in (e.g. in ship, in station, in galaxy map, in SRV, on foot, etc).

It still works great on my razer cynosa, it does highlight different groups to a degree and you can customise the bindings colours. Elrith still provides updatea and fixes when needed, have a look at https://github.com/poveden/EliteChroma for more info. Personally i find it really good and wouldn't play without it.
 
does anyone know how to change the strobing color effect when using the frameshift drive or in jump? when i first downloaded and started elitechroma up it was perfect it had the starlight effect where it looked like i would be "passing stars" with little white twinkles when i landed at carriers or get close i would see flashes of light imitating the flashing lights on the carriers and now it switched to a rave flashing all colors, random colors flashing while charging fsd and in supercruise. i didnt change anything, uninstalled and installed, cant change any strobing effect only the static colors.

Make sure that in your settings is setup with the correct folders. It looks at the journals and for the elite Dangerous client is running. Also... if you have a dual monitor setup your focus is on the game. If you tab out of the game to look or move your mouse to a different monitor. It will go with your normal chroma setup. Hope that helps.
 
Grab version 1.18.4. It now supports PowerPlay 2.0 "contested" legal states as well.
Can any of these be implemented? Been think for about a week on how this could be useful to chroma or if it would be worth the effort.
  • Added a new status flag SupercruiseOvercharge for overcharge status.
  • Added a new status flag SupercruiseAssist for whether assist is active.
