MSI Afterburner skins broken

[spaceytoast]

Hi,
I've been using mii system 2 (modified) skin for a while and have noticed recently it doesn't work...

I have read this thread:
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=40034

And it didn't solve my problem - strangely it still shows the GPU name and load % but the temperature, framerate, fan etc are all nulled.
I've tried other skins that use afterburner and they don't work either.

I think it started after I updated afterburner/rivatuner

Rainmeter 4.5.12.3616 (64-bit)
Build time: 2022-03-02 7:13:16
Windows 10 Education 2009 64-bit (build 19042)

Any ideas would be much appreciated,
thanks in advance

So, if you install the previous version, does it work again?

Posting the incriminated code would help. The original version of that skin by abu46 doesn't work for me either in the case of GPU temperature, until I change:

Code: Select all

DataSource=GPU temperature

to:

Code: Select all

GPU=0
SourceId=0

I think the issues are related to either the code, the settings or some unsupported device - don't think they are "broken" since mine still works for the newest version of MSIAB (bar the fans which are not supported for my laptop). Are you sure you monitor the desired data in MSIAB?

In afterurner I seem to not have the option for GPU temperature or core clock, so perhaps my graphics card (RX Vega) isn't fully supported?
I definately remember it working before - perhaps I will try rolling back the driver.
Thank you for your help, you've given me a new direction to look in!

Although the code you posted (by the way, you can use the </> button at the top to post code, instead of placing it in a spoiler) misses some additional files holding other variables and such, it was enough to see that it works for me:

Yep, it might be that your card / driver isn't fully supported, especially if it worked before and you upgraded your computer / driver recently (I was lucky to have my components fully supported when I upgraded mine last year). If it's about the card and not the driver, you can ask (nicely, since the developer is quick to get annoyed given his workload, but otherwise a nice and helpful guy) on their forums how to solve this, or when / if your card will be supported. They made some improvements to support the newest hardware lately, and it's a work in progress.

If you clearly remember it working before, with the same card, it means the problem is on your end and doesn't worth bothering to ask stuff about the card there. For example, like here.
