Screens flashing on Kontrol S4 MK3 with newest Traktor Pro 3 updates

C4P0221

If i update my Traktor Pro 3 software, the screens on my dj-controller start flashing.

Also, the controller or program seems to crash from time to time. If this happens i reboot the controller, bpm's reset theirselves, and both decks start playing by themselves.

PC itself is fully checked, and shouldn't be the issue.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I would understand this from the cheaper models, but the most expensive controller should be able to play along nicely with the software it's made for.

processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics      2.90 GHz

RAM: 16,0 GB (15,4 GB free)

OS: Windows 11 Home x64

Latest working version on the controller is Traktor Pro 3.8.0 46

It's a known bug. There is a beta out that fixes it.

Either downgrade to 3.8 or use 3.10.1 beta.

Regarding the crashes, do you recall circumstances / triggers? The last interaction(s) before the crashes occurred?

I can confirm that beta 3.10.1 fixes the issue with screens on the S4 MK3.

I've tested everything this weekend. During a 6 hour jparty i've experienced multiple crashes, I've stopped counting after 7. It always seems to be during a transition between two tracks.

I'm going to test the beta during this week. I'm going to install it today and let Traktor re-analyze my labrary (because the last crash even caused a bunch of tracks to fully dissapear from my pc.

the screens flashing has been resolved, but the crashes haven't. After about 15 minutes of playing music i get a loud buzzing sound which only goes away if I turn of the controller.

After a reboot everything seems to work for about 15 minutes again, and than the same thing happens again.
