Thought I’d give the desktop a go but I’m struggling to get it to work. I’m probably missing something simple.
I install it with no errors on both windows 10 and 11 - both laptop and desktop.
I the select the asio etc and it says mod audio started in a pop up to the right. And that’s it, I don’t get anything after that. NO minimised screen or anything. No notification to say it’s crashed.
Any ideas on what is wrong.
After you started the “engine” dit you clic on the « open web GUI » button? If it didn’t work just open your regular browser and enter http://127.0.0.1:18181
Just tried and that isn’t working either. I think it’s crashing for some reason. But it is showing in the task manager.
Just finished a test session with MOD Desktop on Windows 11. It felt incredible and I didn’t run into any issues at all. Everything ran smooth as butter.
I’m really impressed with this so far and I keep my fingers crossed that this can be released one day and with the plugin store.
I will keep testing it and report back if I find any bugs or other quirks.

Same for me. Tried it quite some time ago on an aging Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows 11, and it worked perfectly out-of-the-box.

Regarding bug reports. Is Github the correct channel for adding our findings?
There or here, both ways should reach the right people

I’ve only had two small inconsistencies so far when testing on Windows 11.
-
The zoom in/out functionality is a bit inconsistent for me. Sometimes I cannot zoom in the first 3-5 times. The zoom in animation starts, but then snaps back to unzoomed state with a short glitch of the graphics.
-
The drag to replace a plugin is a bit inconsistent. I’m sometimes unable to replace a plugin no matter where on the plugin I try to release the new plugin. The replace symbol appears, but doesn’t replace the plugin once releasing it.
Another issue I have is that I cannot start the Mod desktop service again after Stopping it (without restarting the PC). I see that Jack is still running in the Task manager after stopping and trying to start again. But I’m not able to close the task from Task manager, it stays active. So by the looks of it this could perhaps be part of the issue.
Update: The issue indeed seems to be related to jackd.exe service which is not terminated when stopping Mod Desktop. It stays on as a service. And it is impossible to close it even with PID delete/shutdown commands from the terminal. If I try to start the Mod Desktop again it doesn’t work, but another jackd.exe service is still started. This can also not be terminated.
Here is the jackd + host log when trying to start the Mod Desktop the second time:
