Effects Engine Not Starting/Working?

ssccrabMobile DJ

I'm running the most recent version of 3.0 (Jan 2020) on Windows 10. I'm programming a show from home for a gig. I'm utilizing the 3D Visualizer, interface, and no lights plugged in. Everything works except the effects engine in 3.0. When I try the below with the same version on OS X, I get the same result.

I'm experienced with this software, having used it many times for theater concerts. When I go to add a matrix effect in the edit window, nothing appears in the fixture viewer. Same for pixel effects, nothing happens to the fixtures. Also, when I add a Pan/Tilt effect with my heads selected, nothing happens. I generally leave blind editing turned off. It's as if the effects engine is frozen from start or something.

Would appreciate the feedback. Do I need to revert to the most recent version prior to Jan 2020? Or is there something else I need to do? Thank you!

Update: I reverted to the April 2019 software version and the effects engine works just fine with it.

This sounds very weird, never come across this issue before. Do you want us to try to help you troubleshoot the 2020 release or are you just going to stick to 2019 for now?
I could take a look at the show file, jamesk@adj.com
