    Target challenge - skytrak software stuck after every round

    Hi, this might have been discussed before but I didn't find anything on the forum or online. Haven't tried the different challenges in the skytrak software in a long time so the other day I decided to do target challenge. Chose single player, 6 shots, easy difficulty and 120m target. Hit the 6 shots and a dialogue box comes on the screen. From memory theres three options I think, repeat challenge, new challenge or exit. I chose 'New challenge', box disappears but then the app just reverts back to showing where you landed on your last shot and not the new challenge menu.
    On skytrak the top light was red and both the middle and bottom lights were green. Only option on screen is 'menu' in the top right corner and in there several of the options are greyed out, could only chose two or three of them (I think it was 'numeric display', shot optimizer and one more), 'exit session' was greyed out and my only option was to shut down the app.

    Figured it might have been a sync/network issue as I was in network mode so I also shut down the device and connected a usb-cable before starting it up again and then restarting the software. It conected in usb mode, I set up another target practice, hit the 6 shots and this time tried 'repeat challenge'. Same thing happens, dialogue box just disappears and it was stuck where my last shot landed (like I had just hit the last shot) and in the 'menu' on the right hand side of the screen there's only two or three options and 'exit session' is greyed out. Had to restart skytrak app again.

    Anyone seen this before? something I'm missing here or not getting right?

    PS. Most shots were pretty bad and points total was low, only one or two shots each round got reasonably close to the flag, could it be that the software is telling me to stop doing challenges and instead practice on the driving range? :-) (I would like it to just be honest and pop up a message saying so instad of giving me the silent treatment...)

    Got this issue solved. Doubt I'm the only one who have had or will have this or similar problem in the skytrak app so here's the solution in case it could help someone else.
    Turns out it was as easy as just deleting the whole Skytrak cache folder under C:\Users\**username**\AppData\LocalLow and running the software again. Saw this mentioned in an old post as a possible solution for a different problem.

    I have no idea what the root cause is for the hangup in the software, maybe a bug that now has been fixed in the new v4.0?

      Yep, I believe that was one of the miscellaneous bugs we took care of in v4.0. Glad you got it solved by clearing the cache!
