I did some testing today with my Mustang II and Windows 7 64bit and discovered a problem. When I first load Fuse, everything seems to be working fine, including the preset knob fix. However when I close Fuse, I get an error:

FUSELauncher has stopped working
Description:
Stopped working

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01: fuselauncher.exe
Problem Signature 02: 2.6.1.30
Problem Signature 03: 500745a7
Problem Signature 04: FUSELauncher
Problem Signature 05: 2.6.1.30
Problem Signature 06: 500745a7
Problem Signature 07: e
Problem Signature 08: 4c
Problem Signature 09: System.NullReferenceException
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

So I close the error window and relaunch Fuse. The window opens up dimmed out with it stuck saying "Starting Up..." in the lower left corner along with the light flashing red/green. Closing Fuse gives me another "FUSELauncher has stopped working" error.

If I reboot the Amp and relaunch Fuse, it will then work normal again. Exiting Fuse will again get the error and require an Amp reboot.

Thanks for letting us beta test and I hope you can sort this out.

Hi Chumazik,

Thanks for reporting this. I will get your information to our Software team. Please send me an email as well with your Forum name, real name and the text from this post, and we will follow up with you directly. Thanks very much.

This does not correct the knob problem. Two clean installs on XP and Win7 have same old hassle.

For me exactly the same! Only difference: I did the test with a Mustang I.
As long the software is running, everything seems to react a little bit faster than before.

Switching OFF the amp *before* terminating Fuse and switching it ON *after* starting Fuse helps for the error described above.

Me again.

On my 64 Bit Acer Aspire the Beta doesnt work at all. I get the above error everytime the amp is switched on or the USB cable plugged in. Tested with the same amp. The first computer I had the positiv results with is an older 32Bit Notebook.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your feedback. The "FUSELauncher..." issue is an issue that we are looking into now. I was able to re-create it a few minutes ago on a PC I have with me. We will be digging into this further once we are back in the office tomorrow morning. Thanks very much for reporting your information and for your patience. We will follow up shortly.

Waited a long time for this and the Knobs are working fine for me now..thanks!!
And yes, now I have a launcher problem after I close out of Fuse..32 bit, windows vista nothing special.

And thanks for adding timbre back !!!!
I can live with the launch issue for now.

I discovered another bug today. The display for Cabinet in "Advanced Amp" is not always showing which cabinet is actually being used. Sometimes it changes when switching presets or amp models, sometimes it doesn't.

How?

I scroll through the presets and the UI display knobs stay stuck, as always, with my G-DEC3.

Maybe the bug is only fixed for Mustangs? It's the first time I read that G-Dec owners had it too.

Hi Bezmotivnik,

You may want to perform an uninstall of Fender FUSE and re-install the version 2.6.1.30 build. It sounds like the install may not have overwritten the older Fender FUSE files correctly. Please let us know how this goes. Thanks.

Bezmotivnik,
I have a g dec 3-30. Not understanding computers all that well I simply uninstalled the old 2.6.0 software and installed the new bata 2.6.1 and all the knobs are working. Timbre is back again as well.
There is a launch issue when you close out of fuse and try to get back in and, as Alan stated, they are working on that. I just leave fuse open until I shut my system off.

I had the same! So, it's still not clean. The error doesnt depend on the amp-model, the condition that it occurs is the same graphical and functional structure of the advanced amp section. I saw it when I changed from a Champ-preset to a Twin - suddenly I had a champ as cab in the "clean 12string" Twin ...
