X52 Pro profiles wont load

[JKing]

Hi all,

 

I've just installed my X52 pro again since formatting last month. I kept all the .dat and .pr0 profiles, however whenever I try to launch one now I get the following error:

 

<filename>.dat does not contain a profile for this device.

The device has not been profiled.

 

Now, I would generally post this on the Saitek forums, but they have disabled forum registration and I cant find anything that gives me a troubleshooting suggestion.

 

Since I have both .dat and .pr0 files for all my profiles, I dont understand why they wont load. The software/driver versions I have are:

 

Driver: 5.7.0.24

SST Software: 4.3.4.17

 

Could it be due to a driver/software mismatch? I'm currently trying to download the lastest SST software, but its going at 10kb/s for 221 mb...

 

If anyone has experienced this and found a solution, please let me know!! Cheers

the .Pr0 profiles can be either for the X52 or the X52 pro. It sounds like they may be for the vanilla X52. Although the files are the same format, they are not cross-compatible. The file type relates to the version of the SST software being used, rather than which stick the file is for.

 

Edit: See how they work with the new software. I'm sorry to say that seems to download very very slowly. I got similar speeds, and just had to leave things going overnight.

Hi JKING , it makes some exists 2 Format of profile, the format .Dat (old version of the Software SST) and the Format .Pro (News version of the Software SST) for Hotas X52 (single and PRO) and its two format are not compatible between them

Thanks for the replies, I think the problem was I created the profiles in the SST SD5 and now I'm trying to open them in the new SST SD6 and I dont think theyre compatible between software versions.

 

Looks like I'll be creating the profiles from scratch again!
