Do you really just need two colorful icons to ignore the fact that nothing works? Engine 5.0 is a failure pff!
Guys, it’s time to wake up and stop letting yourself be fooled by appearances. I’ve spent hours digging through forums, technical threads, and social media, and what’s surfacing is a total disaster: people dealing with master audio freezes, proprietary hardware no longer being recognized, and the usual glitches that make working impossible.
The crowd's response? 'Just roll back to the previous version.' Do you even realize how absurd that sounds? Going backward is the ultimate proof of failure for a company that sold us a product that, at this rate, will be useless within months. We are looking at a company that prefers to spend money buying up software houses or redesigning aesthetics instead of making the core of the machines actually work. They took Christmas lights and put them out for the 4th of July, hoping we wouldn’t look under the hood.
The truth is that both PC mode and Standalone are becoming a minefield because they prioritized stupid icons and RGB graphics, overloading the systems instead of optimizing stability and drivers. If a professional has to be afraid of loading a track or connecting a computer in 2026, we’re not talking about professional tools anymore—we’re talking about expensive toys. I have no intention of waiting for the next software 'band-aid' that fixes nothing. If they don’t scale back and get back to real engineering, the future of this ecosystem is dead.
