has this bug crept back into the code? Sharpcap v3.1.5181 recognises my gpcam but subsequent versions don't, with or without the SharpCap Pre-Requisites Installer.

I'm using windows 8.1, 64 bit.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

it's a glitch in the latest software from Altair that incorrectly fails to recognize some of the older GPCam models. Hopefully we will have a fix from them soon, but until then you need to use that older version of SharpCap to see early model GPCams.

cheers,

Robin

Will there ever be a fix so that i can use my MTGM034M GPCam in anything other than sharpcap3.0?

Hi,

as far as I'm aware this isn't likely to get fixed – I believe that changes made to support the new models have made the Altair software incompatible with the very oldest models. Unfortunately this isn't something I can fix in SharpCap itself.

Cheers, Robin
