It's downright atrocious that 6.2.4 and 6.2.5 were shipped the way they were. Bugs happen, but for god's sake bugs like the fans not spinning up should be caught in automated or manual testing. Why is XOC (and flow control, but that rant is for a different time) so insufferably bad?
With XOC right now, regardless if updated or clean installed:
It does not start up automatically, no matter how many different rituals (checking the box to start up with Windows and quitting, checking the box and changing something and hitting apply, re-installing, etc) that a user should not have to follow, are attempted. If I use task scheduler to start up XOC at startup, it launches like it should, but does not carry any previously stored settings.
The fans do not automatically spin up, again, regardless of ritual stated above. I have to manually hit "fan curve".
The fan curve applied is always "custom", regardless of what selection I have made. I prefer the aggressive curve for my Hybrid, yet every time I hit fan curve, it's always "custom".
I like the popout for the system information graphs. Unfortunately it tracks nowhere near as much as afterburner, and, as is routine with XOC, my selections do not stick. I have to manually tell XOC at every launch what I want it to track. It always loads defaults.
Some of this is basic stuff that has been in Afterburner without issue for ages. Corsair's beta iCUE software is lightyears ahead of XOC and Flow Control.
I'm a fanboy of EVGA. I tell everyone to buy EVGA everything. The amount of money EVGA has gotten from my direct suggestions to hundreds of employees is not a small amount. But this software in it's current and continuing state will singlehandedly deter me from buying anything EVGA unless EVGA commits actual attention and resources to it's software, because IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE HARDWARE.
I'm sorry for coming off a little harsh, but I literally manage software releases for a software company and CANNOT BELIEVE the back to back broken nature of XOC 6.2.4 and 6.2.5.
