Popular Post Denis Milette Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi guys and gals. On OSX, is there a reason/solution that when one of my machines wakes from sleep, Synergy cannot reconnect? I need to either kill the process or remove and add the client screen! Very tedious. Worst part is I can't do otherwise than put it to sleep (MBP so I just close the lid) because Synergy prevents the laptop from activating Screensaver! So, can I do anything about this? If there is no solution I will be going back to version 1 as this is beyond annoying: it's time wasting. Thanks 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post atwixtor Posted March 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2018 I am having the same problem. It worked well in the earlier 2.0.x releases, but I think starting around 2.0.4 it's become very unreliable upon wake/re-login 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgrimm Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yup, same thing happens to me. Never worked since I've installed the software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I checked in with support about this back at the end of January. Quote ...this is a known bug that we're working on. It currently affects less than 1% of users, so it could be a few months before it's fixed. Are you happy to wait? Remember we're also able to offer a refund. I certainly hope that 2.0.8 will fix this issue. On another note, does anyone else have the issue when their second Mac screen does finally go to sleep that it freezes on the black screen with a pinwheel and you have to force a restart?

slmcdee Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I created a post that pointed out several issue... that they won't approve. So I rolled back to version 1 Quote I've used this product for at least 10 years. This version 2 has been a dismal failure. There is no way that this product is being properly tested and the fact that you all keep calling it "stable" is outlandish.1. Scrolling issue (where clients when you scroll on the client but only server scrolls) still exist. (temporary solution is the keep the client open and toggle the "shared")2. Everytime I lock my machines, I have to bounce the services across the board, in order for everything to work. *Which is almost impossible because you can't f'n turn off/deactivate the app3. Also, I walked away for an hour and when I came back and my mouse was super laggy and only returned once I killed the service(*).4. Now the system I use as the server (Win7) can see any other machine... but the two(Win10, Mac) can see it. On Win10.. I can share only to the Mac. If I touch the keyboard on the Mac.. everything explodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can say since 2.0.8 the lock/wake-up situation has been working smoothly and as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler A Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) This issue is happening for me in version 2.0.12-beta - after my MacBook Pro sleeps, the Synergy Helper shows a grayed-out icon for my current computer, and right-clicking it and choosing "Share from computer.local" gives "There was a problem connecting to the background service. Retry" Any help would be appreciated! Edited August 28, 2018 by Tyler A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichR Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It's December 2019 on 2.0.12-beta and I have the same issue with Mac Pro (Mojave) and Windows 10 laptop. Many times the Mac won't connect after waking up. Since we are on the same beta version for more than a year, does it mean that Synergy is done? Because I paid for it just a few months ago.
