One of AZ Controller users (Bassman) has noticed no preset is loaded on CbB startup in ~2020.05
After some "magic dance" (re-installing, re-selecting, etc.) he has manged make it working.
But with 26.8.0.100 (the latest update) no magic helps. I have updated 2 computers myself. On one I could get "ACT MIDI" remember selected preset (not the first time, but after several restarts and removing ctrlsurface.dat...). On the second computer I can not make any plug-in memorize selected preset
@Devils you are not using AZ Controler with Mini 😉 I do not know how you could get feedback on encoders without it...
In fact ACT and surfaces in general are working fine, as long as you have MCU or use AZ Controller (with everything else). ACT mapping you can easily preserve, once you use AZ ACT Fix...
For current problem (with the latest CbB only, not loading presets at startup) there is a workaround:
after selecting required preset in Surface dialog, visit Control Surfaces in P
