V4.04 Update??
 

Does anybody Know what's happening with the new update?
I was expecting it today.:?

Sotousa,
I am a beta tester and I just tested Hoster 4.04 beta 9. All is good with beta 9 except for a couple of small things that MTU will fix.

I am not an employee of MTU but I have been a beta tester for about a year. Looking from the outside in, seeing what most users don't see I have to say Microsoft bailed on their long term programers like MTU by releasing Vista before it could do everthing XP could do.

Folks want to say that MTU is doing the same thing by releasing Hoster 4 too early but anybody with any sense should see that you can't build a house of stone if all you have is wood. Microsoft dropped an unstable operating system on their porgramers and have done nothing to help. I hear Mac sales are up, wonder why?

Don't hold me to this but I feel 4.04 will be released before this week is out.

Thanks for being paitent.

fingers crossed i need this before Friday or i will have to host my show with an alternative program i have just for the key change problem :f

Hey Rob,
I'm with ya. You can use 3.40 or go back to another version. I assure you, we are all working hard for a solid release of 4.04.

Thanks

any bugs yet
 

Jim,

I am just as excited abiut this upgrade as everybody else did you run into any major drawbacks when testing this upgrade, I haven't really had any problems out of 4.03 the only version I had major issuses with was 4.0-4.02 after that and some major upgrading on my laptop I haven't had any problems. I LOVE MY HOSTER:g:t:w and only forsee bigger and better in the future.:g:c

None at all. Like you 4.03 works great for me, won't do without it. The biggest problem MTU faced with 4.04 was getting video to run on Vista correctly, every time. It's been a bear but we (the users & MTU) came out on top.

One change that was made out of common sence was we now see whatever is on the Show Display on the Preview Display. To read the lyrics I have to unlock the preview window and make it a little bigger but this is no big deal to me. It's good for one gig where I can't see the TV.

They fixed a bunch of small bugs (Some I didn't see). My testing suggested they release 4.04 two betas ago but other tester found issues that could not be allowed in the release.

4.04 is like driving 4.03 only better. :w :c

Awesome, so release date was the 16th do we have an estamated date for Hoster Power 4.04 or will we be waiting a few more days.

Can't wait for the end of October myself I believe this is going to be an interesting trip to say the least and by then we will have used the new 4.04 a few hundred times and can compare notes. The hoster users here are so scared of change they don't want to upgrade from 3.xxx. I have talked to several that say they won't upgrade, to me this is crazy how could you not upgrade a product that only keeps getting better Yeah I know that there have been a few bugs here and there but you can always convert back to an older version if the upgrade didn't work.

MTU will have a beta for testing tomorrow I'm sure. If it passes, it will be released ASAP.

I'm like a turttle, I have to stick my neck out to get anywhere. :r :w :t :c

well I was one that was ticked with 4.03 and did say somethings i should not have said but after all the updates were done 4.03 works not bad at all and can only get better great looking program makes things go a lot faster. Like it wasn't fast before lol again looks great. And for most KJs out there they may not need an upgrade but i must say this one is a big difference.
Thanks MTU

when i downloaded the 4.3 demo version, i had problems, my cd/dvd dis- appear, songs and lyrics out of sync, stutters etc.will the 4.4 fixed all these? without me going into the registry to fixed my cd/dvd problems?

not sure what your setup is but with what i see and what happen to me yes i believe if you install service pack 3 for xp and all others for your machines motherboard yes. If its vista your talking about then all i can say is vista is a piece of crap at this time maybe after sp2 or 3 it mite be ok lol.

I expect to release 4.04 today. :)

Looks like you'll get 4.04 tonight. :w

Thanks for being patient.

Jim :g

you should know better than to release a new version on the day before the weekend !!!! :g:g

Today is Thursday. :t

---------------------------------

Ha ha ha ha ha........you edited on me! Too funny. I think the usres are pushing this pre-weekend release.

NOTE: I advise that anybody who plans on running a show with Hoster 4.04 this weekend, run a test show first at home. This will asure that your system will run 4.04 and will familarize you with using the program. You will have to set up the show display for your needs anyway. :w :c

Jim :g

Oh Joy !!:w

Good thing I have a week between shows. LOLhttp://forum.mtu.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It shows that 4.04 is available, but the download link delivers 4.03

4.04
 

Same here got the 4.03 download link maybe they haven't got it hooked to the link yet give it a couple more hours I m sure we are all going to be happy with the improvements and new features.
