Just back up with FX Edit. It’s easier anyway.
I’m heading into my third year with my FX8.

All, Just a note that we are still aware of the issue with 5.04 for the FX8 and do intend to pay this product some attention once the dust settles on our company-wide effort of launching the Axe-Fx III and FC series. Thanks for your patience and the cool-headed discussion above.

Dont' worry about it. 5.04 works fine, except the backup bug, which only affects full preset bank backups using fractal bot. I find it easiest to use FX8-EDIT to backup individual presets if needed.So if I am getting my FX8 this Sat what firmware should I be running, and do not let it try and update the 5.04? The bot bug is only on the 5.04 right?
And this is why I’d never purchase an FM3. I have both the FX8 and AX8. I purchased on the reputation of continual updates with many here on the forums used to always claim was what separated Fractal from others such as Line6. And now say updates aren’t part of the value proposition. I feel abandoned when there are still know issues that haven’t been addressed. I’d purchase a Axe-FX III (next version Ultra, Plus, XL - what ever it’ll be called) but not the new floor unit. Let’s face it, that’s the only thing they will make sure is updated - as seen with the Axe-FX II. I LOVE my AX8 and FX8. It would also love to not be abandoned so soon
Considering I thought fx8 was excellent several years ago before updates, I'm not TOO bummed about the fact that there will be no more.
Looking forward to more fractal gear coming down the pipeline.

I judge actions over words, therefore the FX8 will be my first and last piece of Fractal Audio equipment. I was interested in buying an Axe-Fx III, but I think I will stick with my Kemper Profiler, which is still being updated over 7 years later.Only time will prove what I'm saying, but FM3 owners will truly enjoy the updates we'll offer.
Now the big question for me is: will there be a successor with effects only, optimized for 4CM and relay switching?
The Wiki is your friend...Someone remind me why this is so much better than my Ax8?
Maybe a side by side break down with live use in mind, thanks!
