DEBUG REPORT – Issue in the New RealDash Version

[tulio]

After updating to the latest version of RealDash, the car animations started disappearing during use. I use GIF files to create the 3D car animation, and some of these animations are triggered by steering-wheel inputs (triggers). The 3D car GIF animation only reappears if I manually reload the dashboard.

I noticed that this issue may be related to a specific trigger. In my case, the problem was caused by the fade gauge, which seems to make the animations disappear.

I have tested this on several different devices, and the issue is exactly the same on all of them.
I also tested multiple dashboards, including both old and new versions, and the problem persists.

This does not appear to be a device-specific or dashboard-specific issue, but rather something related to the recent app update.

I temporarily solved the problem by downgrading to version 2.5.5, where everything works normally again.

Please check this behavior, as everything was working perfectly before the update.

There was a change in how gauges in containers use fade:

Old version:

• Gauge fade was set directly to its container fade.

New version:

• Gauge fade is set as “gauge fade * container fade”

This is required for our new dashboard files and may require resetting fades on some old dashboards. When you reset and save on latest version, the resulting .rd files will work on older versions too.

The problem I’m having is with the container fade; it stopped working. When the fade is applied to the gauge, it works correctly.

Thank you for your reply! Yes, that’s exactly the issue. I’m using the container, and the problem was related to the fade gauge. Now I’ve switched to the show gauge, but I’ll need to edit all my dashboards that use fade.
For anyone who wants to avoid this, you can use version 2.5.5, which doesn’t require editing all your dashboards.
