Strobelight - LightBoost Utility for AMD/ATI and NVIDIA

[Jinba ittai]

I plugged old DVI cable again, in order not to exercise plug and unplug between DVI and DisplayPort cables. Thanks for the work and information you have given us. I hope DisplayPort issue will be resolved near future.

I can second Jinba ittai's report that it appears Nvidia Drivers 511.23 broke something as I can no longer initialize the display. Same error as above:

Code:

[2022-01-31 01:42:11.805] LOAD(AMD): LoadLibrary("atiadlxx.dll") = ERROR 126
[2022-01-31 01:42:11.805] LOAD(AMD): LoadLibrary("atiadlxy.dll") = ERROR 126

[2022-01-31 01:42:11.809] INIT: No compatible displays found.

As soon as I rolled back to 497.29 initialization succeeded again (after which I updated the drivers once more, since 3D mode remains active as long as the monitor isn't unplugged from power).
I'm on Windows 10 and both drivers used are DCH.
I hope you can look into this but even if you don't I still appreciate the work you've done; and it's not a major issue to install older drivers to re-init with when there's a power outage (or to connect the monitor to a UPS!).
Best regards!

Edit: I should also note that even when started with strobelight-skip.exe it cannot adjust the initialized monitor's brightness anymore.

Confirmed. Was getting "no compatible displays found" message. Reverted to drivers 497.29 and it's working again. Thank you so much!

Anyone dared to test a newer version? 511.79 was released last night but I'm feeling lazy
Hoping that 497.29 wasn't the last version for this to ever work.
Don't really want to invest in a new monitor before prices drop a bit more for 240Hz WQHD

Hey so I just installed 511.79 and everything's working as it should now.

I'm gonna wild-guess, but from their own driver patch notes there seemed to be an issue that was messing up stuff at the G-Sync level, which once turned off, it couldn't be reenabled, maybe the culprit for that shared its influence with LightBoost here.

Anyway, enjoy your current monitor for a while longer!

Thank you, i wouldnt noticed that it actually was a driver issue,

So i can also Confirm that updating to the lastest driver (511.79) fixes the issue.

Im also running the VG248QE with lightboost for years now and was shocked when the monitor got insanely bright suddently^^

[Nageki]

Can also confirm that NVIDIA driver 511.79 fixed the issue.
Here's to another couple of years with the VG248QE

Hi, I recently discovered Lightboost and tried activiting it on my Asus VG248QE with this method. I tried initializing the monitor with the strobelight application via HDMI and DisplayPort, but get the same "no compatible displays found" error with both connections.

My GPU is an AMD RX 6650 XT. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is that log with DisplayPort or HDMI? Show me the log with the other connection as well.
