Razer Chroma Lighting???

[Major Trainee]

We are now approaching Feb. 2022, and I do not see any word of a fix to get the lighting effects on the keyboard working again. Does anyone have any insight on this? I know it may sound petty to some, but I REALLY loved the effects and wish they could come back. Rock and Stone Forevah!!

It hasn't been fixed because it isn't supported anymore. It was deliberately removed because razers ♥♥♥♥♥♥ software was creating bugs in the game.

I feel like thats highly unlikely....

Given the source, I tend to believe it.

Pretty sure Loan Ranger spends a lot of time on the Discord where the devs hang out.

Then why are every other single game that has razer chroma that comes out, or still gets updated work perfectly fine then?

I also don't understand, I have one PC with Corsair(ICUE) one with Asus Aura Sync(WHICH IS THE WORST) and one with Razer/MSI(which is probably the best)
But Razer just gets ♥♥♥♥ on cause of old memes cause they used to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I think you misunderstood, I'm just saying that if Loan Ranger is saying the devs removed support; I believe him.

Oh my bad, the reason he gave is what I meant doesn't make any sense is all.

I can't speak to the quality of Razer stuff personally, I've always been a Logitech guy.

Honestly I used to hate Razer, would always use Corsair or ROG(and loved my g900) Razer actually came out last 2 years listening to what people wanted by taking feedback on reddit from users, EX: Viper and Huntsman Mini/TE.

Logitech has also gotten worst oddly enough in the last 2 years. Their mice would last forever, but they've been using Chinese Omron switches in their mice which have double clicking issues way too much(they used to use Japanese Omron switches)

So I found the reason and honestly, this sounds like a load of BS

"Mark - QAʸʸ ˡᵐᵃᵒ — 11/09/2021
We did support Razer Chroma, but decided to disable it as it was creating too many issues. For instance, the Chroma software locked the framerate of some users or even impacted performance in other cases."

If people were having issues they simply could have disabled Razer Chroma support in Synapse so that the lights didn't do anything. I obviously wasn't having any issues(as it seems many others weren't)

It sounds like they just didn't wanna keep the support up for every patch they did....

Almost every single post about random locked FPS was caused by Synapse.

Most users would come here or discord and blame the game and people trying to help them for Razers crap software.

So poof the support is gone so now; because why do Razers job in supporting their garbage tier software, API, and hardware.

Okay, I get that for sure, but why exactly can they not do the work when other smaller studios(with like 300 reviews for their games) still have support?

I've also seen some of the "issues" one guy complained he couldn't get above 120 FPS and another above 64 FPS, like really? Those aren't issues to get 60+ FPS. It also seems the amount of people asking about where the support went, far out weights the complaints.

Also believe it or not but Synapse is one of the better Lightining softwares out there.

Considering I have 3 PCs in the house, with 2 of them running ASUS Mobo/GPU and the rest being Corsair(fans, lighting strips etc) I'm gonna go with I'm not bias either.

ICUE has great software, Logitech's new software is just plain bad, MSI and ASUS are terrible beyond terrible.

Maybe Ghost Ship cannot justify the required resources to work on this issue?
People power is a thing many people forget about, it takes work hours to troubleshoot, work on, and fix problems.

None of us are privy to what Ghost Ship are working on currently, and or what other critical problems they are dealing with that are causing issues.
You also have to think like a business, is allocating time/resources to this going to help your product sell how many people specifically only buy games with this supported?
Also do not forget possibility they have tried to fix it multiple times, and even maybe talked with Razor directly about the issue, maybe Razor could not provide a suitable solution?

There is lots of reasons we could speculate, but only Ghost Ship knows why.
One thing is clear though, the things they are focused on now are obviously a higher priority vs a 'nice to have' feature.

Its a nice to have feature, but not game breaking.
There are plenty of games out there that are doing fine without it, and support for this type of stuff really comes down to the Developer and if they can justify supporting it.

I 100% agree with everything you said, I have to imagine its exactly down to that, it sucks to see but I'd rather have the dev's just say what you said rather then what most people have done and just being plain ignorant are saying that "OMG RAZER IS BAD" meanwhile have no idea what they're talking about.

EDIT: Also thank you for having a civil response vs what Loan Ranger and Shugo have sprouted out.

I love all the games that do have support. Makes the whole games room have a better feel and gets you more into the game. A shame they aren't working on keeping support though as for me the software never caused any issues or hiccups. When you can get the KB/Mouse/Pad all going together

[Mathroy]

I was just trying to make it work right now just like it worked perfectly fine maybe like a year ago... And after 45 minutes I stumbled across this thread. It's sad to hear, hopefully they'll fix whatever was broken with it.
