No Shadow FX or Launch anymore?

from Stardock Forums

I also just now noticed that ShadowFX is not in my Object Desktop, nor is Launch.  I am trying to configure Shadow FX but I can't find it.  The Object Desktop window only shows 10 programs.

Now I tried, Options-> unhide software that is incompatible with this system, and it still didn't show up.  Then I came to the Shadow FX option here and the "Try it" download, which downloaded me a version from CNET.  I don't want to install a CNET program, when I should be installing directly and receiving it thru Object Desktop.

Shows in all the pictures of Object Desktop, and is listed as part of Object Desktop 2018.  So what gives?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, this is what I get on Object Desktop program listing. My guess is that Stardock cut down some programs.

But if you're active subscriber, than your ODM will have all those programs.

How do I reply with screenshots?  I have just done so twice but the posts have been spirited away by the internet ghost hole.

 

I have been LIMITED and CONTROLLED for posting new messages to the forum of this PRODUCT WHICH I PURCHASED USING REAL MONEY TODAY.  WTF are these forum orchestrators thinking.  It says I can file a SUPPORT TICKET, but as I mentioned in my other thread, that is at an HTTP (non encrypted) interface.  I will not be doing that, and make it easier for impostors to fake all the information I get here. 

This entire event reeks of the same fraudulent internet community that the internet is sick from / of. 

I need some proof that any of this is in fact hosted by STARDOCK. 

Even when I tried downloading the Shadow FX program, it took me to lousy CNET for the download.  That ain't right at all. 

Then they have the nerve to accuse others of pirating.  Sure enough this entire interface is being controlled by pirates.

Nope Jafo, for newer posters here there do not seem to be a picture insert button.  Unless I'm missing it ? (Pic uploaded to imgur)

They were removed October first for any purchases made after that date.  Any who purchase prior do have them.

There is a picture insert button it is the plus sign not intuitive at all.

No worries.  I just deactivated one of the computers (old account) that had ShadowFX.  I never used it till one of the two more recent computers was added.  So it's no biggy to just deactivate it.
