  • Has anyone had a problem saving to USB. Running 1.8.1.0. I know I have saved before and was trying to export my user prof and I cannot get the external drive no matter where I put the usb. Can boot up MA2 and it see's it. I just updated to win11 latest update last night and wondering if that is the issue. I haven't saved in a few weeks so cannot be for sure. Re-installed 1.8.1.0 and still no luck.

  • you can just copy paste the show file on your pc from C:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\gma3_1.8.1\shared\shows to your USB stick's D:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\gma3_1.8.1\shared\shows or the other way around.

  • I thought of that also. But is a lot for me to do when I am just doing the basics of learning at home not really taking it anywhere. But I hope the new release comes soon because this last update was huge and ate up memory so I deleted rollbacks. And now when I create windows in my views the views are not coming up with position, color etc etc. So cannot rollback and am not in the mood to reinstall windows. But I am planning on getting a MacBook Pro in a few weeks amen to MA for finally making the software to work for mac. Just like windows update to screw things up and we are the Guinea pigs to find out the problems.

    Do you have any fixtures patched?


    Also I highly recommend having a shortcut to your Shows folder on your desktop anyway. Since I do tech support, I have a huge pile of versions installed, and so I have a folder on my desktop which just contains shortcuts to each version of onPC and also the shows folder for each version:

  • This issue is fixed now in v1.8.8.2 which was released yesterday.


    All of the grandMA3 hardware is running a custom Linux, except for the grandMA3 onPC command wing XT and grandMA3 onPC rack unit, which are running Windows 10 IOT.

  • Thank you. Going to look for the download now. Will on this site similarly to MA-Share set up a section for LUA do you think. I am a member in a facebook but I think it would be best to have a main place to come for questions and answers. I probably should ask these questions in a new post.
