Does anybody know if they have fixed that hammer so it hurts less?

I do.
The developers are working on a fix.
There will be a Hammer Update to version 2030.3.
A pubic beta will be available.
"Coming soon", if you consider six years to be "soon".

In the meantime, uninstall Hammer 2024.1 and revert to Mallet 2019.12.

Avid Link in 2024:

- Still Intel-based (you've had since 2020 to go Apple Silicon Native)
- Still flagged for having 32-bit components (you've had since 2019 to remove this)

Moogboy. I still have my original Taurus pedals. Man they sound thick as heck.



Sorry for the distraction, LOL

It works but even attempting to browse or move the cursor is a painfully slow experience. Needs a complete rehaul or we can just discuss on this forum. I would say still unusable in 2024.

Verifably unusable on windows 11 Pro.
It's just a blank page, none of the activations work, none of the buttons work.

AMD 5900X
SSDs 12tbs
Sibelius Ultimate (will not activate)
Pro tools studio
Win 11 Pro updated fully as of 8-18-24
64GB RAM
3080 Nvidia

However on my mac it was working fine, with the lastest OS on a M1.

I know some people have problems, but Avid Link has always worked for me.

My big problem is that there is no option to stop it loading at startup and have to manually change a file each time it updates.

It would be a nice feature to turn it off and re-enable when you are ready to do so.
