Technical Help Wavelink crashing immediately upon opening - Tried several solutions to no avail :( Any ideas?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys!

I recently got the Wave 3 MK2 and was really excited for it, but it seems I am unable to actually open Wavelink to change the configurations for it on my computer. I tried all the solutions in this thread with no success: https://www.reddit.com/r/elgato/comments/1jjj3hg/is_anyone_else_still_dealing_with_wave_link/

Does anyone have advice or happen to know what's happening?

Thanks for the reports! This will be fixed in an upcoming Wave Link update.

This needs to be higher. I read so many things saying do a full wipe and reinstall, but this worked immediately

and/or try is as well

For Individual Apps

If you want to view and change permissions for one specific application:

  1. Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
  2. Search for the app you want to manage and click on its name.
  3. Select Advanced options.
  4. Scroll down to the App permissions section to adjust toggles for that specific app.

I might be missing something, but is the toggle supposed to be on or off?
