Guest Dug Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’ve hunted a few go to sites with V.71 the last 2 days(thank you XP for adding the .7x digit change to the update series). The pinpoint feature using the coil seems better and stable, but I don’t really ever use it. The MI6 paired fine as usual, but I still had to cycle the MI6 power on a few occasions I order to get it to “talk” to the D2 control. Not a big deal in my book, but wanted to share the observation. The overall functionality seemed consistent throughout the programs, program variants, and global program variables I tried on natural targets. I have not done any artificial scenario testing as of now with this version, therefore I won’t give it the “holy crap” seal of approval for myself yet. But it’s at least consistent through the scenarios I tried it in. V0.7 was a step in the right direction; V0.71 is so far a great next step forward.

It was the first time I have updated since getting the D2 with the Jan 2022 V 0.6 installed. I was careful follow the prompts in the update program and not to plug in the USB cable until instructed to do so. Strangely enough, it would not start the update download procedure after plugging into the USB2 port on my computer, it would just hang at the last graphic screen (11/11) of the update program.. I tried it twice after backing out of the update program, unplugging the USB cable, shutting down the remote, and starting the whole procedure over again. On the third try, I plugged into one of the USB2 auxillary ports on the front of my connected external hard drive instead of the USB2 ports on my computer and it worked fine for both the remote and the WS6. I use the computer's ports all the time and they work fine for other things, but they just wouldn't work for the update program for some reason. Maybe it was a glitch, but it's done and everything seems to be working fine. I did wait for the update to complete, displaying Success, and then waited for the remote to cycle through auto restart and bring up the boot screen and regular operating screen before disconnecting the USB cable. I don't know if that would prevent the lock up of the remote reported by a couple of people, but it might, so be patient and let the program and equipment do their thing before yanking out any cords. I did have to repair my headphones and MI6 and resave my saved programs, but that was easy enough. Hopefully I'll be able to get out in a day or so and try out the new software. Best of luck to you all! When my MC and WS6 report success I push the go back key and disconnect. I've done this on every update. Maybe something else is causing the frozen controllers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftSword Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I heard from someone today that the .71 update destroyed his depth. Couldn't hit a penny at six inches. I did an air test on mine (9" coil, .71, various stock programs, default values) and didn't think I got worse numbers than with .6, but I'm also not entirely certain. Trouble with these tests is always that it's not really a comparison unless you also have a second, identical machine with the older software version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relicmeister Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’m using V 0.71 and everything seems fine. No problem hitting deep targets. I’ve only used sensitive full tones since update and noticed the tones are better than 0.6. Mi6 connects much faster now is another thing I noticed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 If I see no reason not to I plan on updating my other Deus 2 ( with 11” coil) from 0.6 to 0.71 because it’s pretty obviously better. I’m happy to have the 2nd Deus because it’s the only way to have both 11” an 9” coils, but once coils are available alone I’ll almost certainly sell one of the units. It’s too costly to have as a backup only. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, used it all day in hot dirt and it worked very well. No obvious bugs at this point. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftSword Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I went on a brief hunt this morning, and while I found nothing interesting, some of it was fairly deep. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 After doing a few updates that always seemed to lag I tried this method and it works fine for me. Note how the update program is run in administrator mode, and you connect the RC to your PC before going into settings and running update.
