# Troubleshooting

#### Direct Swap Troubleshooting: <a href="#weaponswaphelp" id="weaponswaphelp"></a>

Remember that M.O.D.s **CANNOT** see what your game is doing.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Issue: Top RGB LEDs are wrongly pulsing green in a Shooter-style GAMEPACK instead of showing Weapon Slot indication, or there are other weird LED behaviors that DO NOT reflect the information in the manual.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Cause: STRIKEPACK HORIZON™ firmware is out-of-date.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Solution: STRIKEPACK HORIZON™ REQUIRES the latest FIRMWARE UPDATE to get started.  You can use any device that supports Chrome or Edge web browser & wired USB connection, other than iOS devices.

***

If the adapter is already attached to your controller, HOLD PADDLE BUTTONS 1 & 3 together while connecting it to the device to enter "UPDATER MODE", then to perform the update, visit the "WEB UPDATER" at [**firmware.modcentral.ca**](https://firmware.modcentral.ca/)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Issue: M.O.D.s interfere with in-game menus or alternate gameplay activities.

***

:warning: This is notoriously a problem for vehicles, where you may switch out of the driver seat, or fail to accelerate & brake.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Cause: Interference occurs because ACTIVE M.O.D.s are typically designed for "run & gun" or "boots on the ground" gameplay, but they will always affect your controls, regardless of which activities share those controls.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Solution: Try assigning Block M.O.D.s to a Weapon Slot.  Alternatively, use the <img src="/files/sXt79cX3uAJT8pEpA0pX" alt="" data-size="line">Block M.O.D.s feature on the app, or try the Toggle M.O.D.s Paddle Button M.O.D.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Issue: In-game menus pop up when using Controller Shortcuts, or the in-game response of the <img src="/files/2lTbgkJvbrlMoA8jc7kj" alt="" data-size="line">VIEW button feels delayed.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Cause: The VIEW <img src="/files/2lTbgkJvbrlMoA8jc7kj" alt="" data-size="line">ACTIVATOR only passes through its normal gameplay function when it is RELEASED QUICKLY or HELD LONG.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Solution: Quickly use Controller Shortcuts, before an in-game menu can pop up.

As for the delay, if it is bothersome, or if <img src="/files/2lTbgkJvbrlMoA8jc7kj" alt="" data-size="line">ACTIVATOR is simply a difficult reach for your thumb, try replacing it with the Alt Activator Paddle Button M.O.D.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Issue: Controller Shortcuts are NOT functioning or they are inconsistent.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Cause: Controller Shortcuts are likely being pressed in the wrong order.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Solution: The order in which Controller Shortcuts are pressed matters. "While HOLDING <img src="/files/2lTbgkJvbrlMoA8jc7kj" alt="" data-size="line">ACTIVATOR..." means that you should be holding it ahead of pressing the other button.  This can be a miniscule amount of time but Activator must always be held first.
{% endhint %}
