Fv2 Launcher Download

Since update to the latest version, my computer is slowing down substantially. Especially when I open Outlook or open a browser (Firefox or Chrome), the power usage would jump to as very high and the CPU would be up to 60%. Generally the CPU would be around 30% or 40% when I did not have anything open or running.
Try to find which application running in the OS background environment. such as the application running in system boot automatically. A idea could use to search the application. Sort the CPU usage from high to low, and then post the screenshot here.
Same problem. Kaspersky Lab launcher 30% CPU usage. Try switching it off and on again. So go to KIS settings, click on File Anti-Virus, make sure Security level is Optimal, turn File Anti-Virus off, save, confirm. You will receive warning notifications. Turn File Anti-Virus back on, save, confirm. Kaspersky Lab launcher should now be using 0 to 0.4% CPU usage.
Just went through the ordeal described on the microsoft page. Yes, finally found the culprits. It was not Kaspersky...I recommend to reserve 2 h or so, since you will go through frequent reboots. I had a scribble block next to me to note down which parts I disabled and what the RAM / CPU usage was after each step. Because after a few changes you turn mad ;-)
But in the end I was able to bring down RAM from 7.3 GB usage to 4.2 GB. Main memory eater was Docker Desktop which I only need from time to time but which after an update was configured to fire up each time Wnidows starts.
And also as a hint, even if I disable EVERYTHING according to the MS article I still have a MEM usage of 3.4 GB. So, at least on my computer (Lenovo Yoga C930 with 12 GB RAM and WIN10) the stories from people saying 2 GB is all that WIN and the basic services occupy is simply not applicable.
Hint #2: I also could not believe that the total of all programs / services listed in the MS resource monitor should amount up to the total RAM usage listed. But I sat down finally with a calculator and it is really adding up to this. So, no hidden VM mem eaters or whatever some people claim that there is in the dark shadows of your MS system ;-)
to add: CPU usage is high after system start, but then in all configurations leveled down to 1 - 4% after 60-90 sec after I saw my WIN desktop, no matter what system configuration I chose. After disabling all unnecessary crap, I finally arrived at 1%.
I figured to uninstall Kaspersky Total Security and remove the Kaspersky Extension from Google Chrome and guess what? From 20% ++ CPU usage, it decreased to 1.1 - 1.5%. My fan noise is not noisy as when Kaspersky was installed. The temperature is slightly better now.
We are on V8.1.0 and are experiencing the same thing. Project title does not have any special characters (though parent project does). Nothing described here has worked. Work around is to add any other application then change its configuration properties to match the project that you are unable to add via the usual method.
Just an addition incase the previous solutions did not help, I faced the problem of not seeing the project on the client launcher and later figured out its because I had a blank project with no windows in it. Just adding even a test window will make the project appear on the client launcher. Hope that helps!
Best Practice
It's good practice to download and install the Designer Launcher every time you install a new release of Ignition. The Designer Launcher is a separate application and is not part of an Ignition release, so it's important not to have an outdated Designer Launcher shortcut residing on your desktop
Until the point when someone finds an exploit and you didn't apply the patch since it's just a launcher. There's certainly less risk of an exploit with a smaller codebase but running out-of-date software is generally bad practice and I think particularly egregious in this case since updating the designer launcher is minimal risk to your production environment
Whenever an Application is launched from a Launcher, the Launcher will check to see if it needs an update. If the Gateway containing launched application is several revisions ahead of the Launcher, the Launcher will provide a popup notifying you that an update is available.
However manual upgrades can be performed. Simply download and run a new launcher installer from a more recent Ignition Gateway. During installation, simply set the installation directory to the same directory as the old launcher.
As of 8.0.13's bundled client/designer launcher, you'll get a prompt if you connect to a gateway that's got a significantly different version of the launcher available. Not quite auto-updates, but pretty good.
...
That aside, they only get better, so there's certainly no harm in updating
I think ultimately the issue is that of communication. Once a project gets above a certain size you will have different people controlling the gateway software installations vs those who are building the application. So there is always the chance (ok 100% certainty) that one group doesn't talk to the other about what version of software is in use. Thus is makes sense to automatically minimize the friction by getting the computers to do what they do best - talk to each other.
My test gateway is running on Ubuntu (just to see how Ignition handles linux) and this morning Ubuntu told me that there were new updates available. After doing said updates (1) I could no longer open the Inductive website in Firefox (2) Thus Ubuntu stopped me from downloading some software called Ignition HMI, that's apparently full of exploitable holes
This is on 20.04.1 LTS updated as of today. Firefox 84.0.2 (64 bit). Running in a VM under Windows 10
I just loaded youtube.com and www.wikipedia.org from firefox within this system, but I can't get to support.mozilla.com
But I've also had the firefox crash reporter pop up a few times today.
nslookup works for inductiveautomation.com and returns 52.52.32.221
But I can't ping it. Firefox fails to load, but it will redirect from the http:// to the https:// url of the site before dying.
But I can get to the correct inductive site via 2 other systems (windows and mac) so I know it's just the Ubuntu system. My guess is something was screwed up with the update, but as this is a test system I don't really care too much about that aspect.
Same problem here, I even have the same certificate on the Ignition gateway and the ssl termination point in front of it (a web application firewall). Designer launcher works directly to the gateway, but not through the WAF (SSL Certificate not found). The certificate is trusted: LetsEncrypt.
All, not sure if it has been addressed elsewhere in the forums, but Designer Launcher using Self Signed certificates on a Gateway with redundancy needs to have the Subject Alternates included in the Master and Backup gateways. It will ask to trust both certificates. There should be a note in the section stating this is required for Gateways using redundancy.
I'm currently running into issues trying to get Vision Client to run on my Raspberry Pi. I have it running the latest version of the 64bit Raspbian OS. Downloaded the Client Launcher from my Gateway on the primary computer, downloaded as a .tar file. I unzipped that and have been unable to get it to actually execute. What I have done and tried so far:
JavaFX is not available on most ARM cpus, so anything in Ignition that depends on it will fail. The legacy launcher doesn't need javafx itself, and can therefore launch any client that also doesn't need javafx. (IIRC, you cannot use the JxBrowser component without javafx.)
So my questions are:
1: where do I get the files required to launch a vision client on my raspberry pi 4
2: what are the install steps
2:a I have a blank pie ready to go so can start from scratch.
As of Ignition 8, 32-bit Vision Client support was dropped; the availability of 32-bit Java Runtime Environments (JRE) will diminish overtime as the technology is slowly deprecated.However, in an e...
Since the patch yesterday the game launcher won't open for me. It briefly flickers ("initializing") then disappears. I've tried repairing it, reinstalling the game and restating my computer but nothing fixed it. Does anyone else have this problem or know a way to fix it?
i think the launcher is probably already running but stuck, so you need to kill off the "Gw2-64.exe" process in task manager. its also possible the launcher is failing to patch itself due to permission issues, so make sure it can write to its directory (don't put it in program files, but on your desktop or user folder is fine).
For me the launcher window only appears after I kill the task in task manager. So I click gw2, nothing happens except my cursor telling me something is loading. No launcher appears. Go to task manager, end gw2 process (its a high power process). As soon as I do that the launcher appears like normal.
If I don't do the task manager process I can click on the gw2 icon and a process will appear for each time I click but no launcher window will open.
I still have that problem. Guild Wars 2 processes don't seem to close correctly when ending the application. You can do a workaround by killing all GW2 process manually, but I really hope this will get fixed sooner or later.
