Known Issues 

General 

  • MacOS: In cases where two versions of a supported application are installed, the non-active version may start when Loupedeck uses press actions.   
  • In some circumstances Loupedeck+ may not wake up after (OS) sleep mode   
  • Live2D and LibreOffice apps with custom profiles are not recognized by Loupedeck 
  • Occasionally, Loupedeck Live devices remain active while locked screens are locked (Win OS) 
  • Developers may not be able to sign in to the cloud environment 
  • No translation is available for Marketplace's "no internet connection" notification (in any language). 
  • Using Search doesn’t highlight the “Custom” tab even if “Custom” contains search hits in the Stored Custom Actions folder 
  • Transparent icons, or icons with black background, don’t blend in on the CT wheel but appear grey on black background 
  • When Loupedeck+ or Loupedeck Original are connected, access to the UI is not possible 
  • In the UI, profile changes in the task bar menu do not always reflect the active application 
  • Custom Groups can only be deleted when they are empty of actions 

Custom Adjustments 

  • "Optional action before" adjustment cannot be removed. The workaround is to change the action type to e.g., "Run" and then back to "Shortcut" 

Ableton Live 

  • Plugin support for Ableton Live 10 must be installed manually from the Loupedeck Support pages.  
  • “Clip Launch Mode” – control center scales incorrectly on Live S console 

After Effects 

  • Some shortcut actions do not work with After Effects being installed in different language than English 
  • After Effects 2022 is displaying “Easy Cheese” error on Windows. After Effects is working normally after closing the popup with the exception of few adjustments from “General” action group.  
    Not working adjustments on Windows with AE 2022 are: Opacity, Rotate, Scale, Move. As a workaround the corresponding adjustments from “Transport” action group can be used. 

Audition 

  • Multiple Loupedeck control surfaces can be seen (bug in Audition)

  • Crop Tool does not initiate when action is used (affects windows users) 

Final Cut Pro

  • Localization (translation of action names) is temporarily disabled

  • Masking workspace is empty for old profiles (article on how to fix
  • Pressing Home button in masking does not return to develop mode

  • ‘Activate Crop Tool by Rotation’ has inconsistent behavior  
  • Filtering actions are affected on CT/Live if Rating/Col. button has been pressed on Loupedeck+  
  • Actions from Keyboard group do not work

  • Viewer Count – widget does not work 

OBS Studio 

  • Windows: If OBS Studio is restarted a few seconds after having closed it the Loupedeck will not connect as it has not finished disconnecting from the previous instance (5.0.3) 
  • Changing scene collections has a chance to break functionality 
  • Icons might not get updated on Loupedeck boot 

Philips Hue

  • For some users: “Cannot adjust volume, no active playback device” 
  • Sign out from Spotify linking and sign back in 

vMix
