    Is there a way to make AlienFX load faster during startup?

    Startup takes almost 2 minutes to fully load everything and everytime the AlienFX is the one that takes the longest to load and sometimes it crashes completely.

    Do you need it to load at startup? I have mine turned off at startup and start it manually if I need to change colors.

    I found out that the biggest difference was made when I updated to the latest one. It now loads much quicker.
