.NET error message - EDID does not contain necessary information

[Orthos79]

Hello!

I just found your tool and tried to test it, but I always get the "Microsoft .NET Framework" error message "EDID does not contain necessary information" when I try to start Helios. Could you please fix/explain this error?

This seems to be a problem with your monitor's driver. What is the name of your monitors in the Windows's control panel?

Helios is probably trying to extract the name of one of your monitors and fails to read and parse the EDID data provided by the monitor.

[Orthos79]

I have 3 monitors. All the same model (Acer S231HLBID) and resolution.

2x PnP-Monitor (Standard)
1x Non-PnP-Monitor (Standard)

My Windows 10 doesn´t find a newer monitor driver. And the latest Acer driver couldn´t be installed (message: best driver already installed). I changed the "Non-PnP-Monitor (Standard)" to "PnP-Monitor (Standard)". Doesn´t help.

The fact that Windows only knows your monitors as PnP-Monitor and Non-PnP-Monitor is a good indication that the monitors (or the GPU) do not properly provide the EDID information. I will mark this as bug because in any case, an issue like this should not result in the crash of the program.

Thanks for reporting this.

[Orthos79]

Ok! I will wait for the fix! Thanks!

[falahati]

Don't close the issue; it will act as a reminder for me. :)

[Orthos79]

Ok! np :)

Hi
Anny Progress on this issue?

[falahati]

I am rewriting a good portion of the program. The fix for this should be available with the next major update.
