Is there a common issue with AE3/FW11 communication?

I see a lot of these kind of threads since the release of AE3/FW11:

Is there a common issue with AE3/FW11 and communication or are these separate problems with different causes?

I guess what I'm getting at is whether Fractal has identified a problem with AE3 and communication with the Axe-FX or if the problems people are having have nothing to do with AE3/FW11.

To my knowledge, Fractal has not addressed this issue one way or the other. AE will timeout on my main computer. Nothing I have tried so far fixes the problem. So I installed it in an old computer and it works so far. It is inconvenient to have AE on a different machine, but at least it works. First World problem for sure. Still, some official word that it is/has/will be investigated would be encouraging.
 
I had my first connection issue last night - Axe edit just wouldn't 'see' the Ave FX II.... Latest version of everything (Drivers, Firmware & Axedit).... Turned off the Axe FX and back on.. problem solved.

To All,

I am running the Windows 7 x64 and have had the 'Time Out Error' problem with frustrating regularity since updating the USB driver to 168. I have since rolled it back to 167 and found that the time out issue has gone away. I might suggest trying that.

Cheers, Mike
 
I am getting it intermittently still on the new AE also. I think I will look at drivers. It certainly seems to be a driver type thing. Win Vista 32bit.

EDIT: Anyone have a link to the prior Win driver?

As I understand it, the latest driver release was a fix for Vista systems (though it solved my Fractal-Bot issues on Win7x64). I think many people have had good luck staying with the previous version.
 
Sigh... I think I will try it with a hub... I know that it is actually recommended to plug directly into the PC but today when I powered down the Axe my external drive which was in the middle of a file copy disconnected. Maybe my PC has some sort of funkiness wrt to its Mobo USB interface that a hub could buffer it from. I figure worst case scenario is it continues to be flaky.
 
Well, great. I needed to make some patch changes and saw there was a new AE version that was only a few days old. Installed it, and now I can't edit anything. Every block I select just gets a timeout error.

Very unwelcome update. Any good workarounds? Worth mentioning everything was working fine before I upgraded. Is it possible to downgrade to the old version? I have stuff I need to get done for a gig. I can't spend all night dicking around with software bugs.

Long answer: What version did you upgrade from, and what model is your Axe-Fx?

Short answer: contact Fractal support.
