studiovarey Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hi there everyone. So I have been had a repeated behaviour that has now repeated across 2 machines - and I am starting to think it's caused by VW, and I want to know if anyone else has had similar behaviour. After extend use of my M1 Mac (repeated behaviour on a MacBook Pro and an Air) the brightness keys on the keyboard will stop adjusting the brightness of the screen. The buttons appear to still work as the screen image with the 'progress' bar appears, but the screen brightness doesn't change. The brightness can still be changed from Control Panel. I am checking this behaviour against the few other patching third party programs I have installed on both machines, but so far it appears it's a VW issue. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I am using VW 22. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Heard that for the first time. But unfortunately can't test on my M1 Mini as I have no more any Apple Monitor. And my Wacom Cintiq will not make use of these keys but needs its own driver menu for changing brightness anyway. Quote Link to comment
wloco Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Also experiencing this problem, M2 Pro w/ VW 2024. The issue seems to resolve itself when I close VW. Have you found any more information regarding this? Quote Link to comment
darienzaq Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 when you swipe up to show all windows it adjusts fine, until u swipe back down. it also makes twinmotion UI flash at times. Quote Link to comment
M5d Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) Same here, Mac Studio + Studio Display. If Vectorworks is left as the current desktop of Spaces and the screen saver activates, the monitor will (often) go to full brightness and the brightness keys will stop working. I did contact Apple soon after purchase in 2022, but they had no other reports and I soon worked out the bug only occurred with Vectorworks. Most of the time you can just switch spaces and the brightness keys will start working again, occasionally not, at which point I just close and reopen Vectorworks. And if you can remember, switching away from your Vectorworks desktop before leaving your computer for any length of time will prevent the bug happening.
