Incompatible razer chroma sdk version causes flickering in overwatch and other chroma games

[jundis]

My keyboard is flashing colors whenever I attempt to enter an Overwatch game. This does not occur with any other game I've tried.

The Corsair manager is the only one enabled, I've updated iCUE and firmware to latest, updated Aurora to nightly, and still the issue persists.

I've fully uninstalled and reinstalled both Aurora and the Razer wrapper

Expected Behaviour

1. Launch Overwatch, get black keyboard
2. Enter game
3. Keyboard changes color to hero specific color

Actual Behaviour

1. Launch Overwatch, get black keyboard
2. Enter game
3. Keyboard rapidly flashes colors, seems to cycle through the hero colors
4. Upon highlighting a character in hero selection, the flashing stops
5. Once the hero is confirmed and you are in, the flashing resumes

Reproduction steps

Run Overwatch with K70 (mk2 for what it's worth), only device enabled, on latest iCUE and firmware

Frequency

Every launch

Aurora Version:

v0.7.2+803

Previously an Issue?

Yes, v0.7.2 non-nightly has the same issue, upgraded to see if it was resolved

I am experiencing the same exact issue on my G910 keyboard. My G502 mouse and Razer Firefly mousepad are unaffected. Items to note are Razer Synapse 3.0 received a new update on Tuesday as well as it being patch Tuesday for Windows 10. I am running version 1909. There were no other changes or updates to note.

Dev builds from 804 and above should fix this.

The issue is caused by the new synapse update. The newest version shouldn't try to hook into incompatible razer chroma sdk versions. To restore functionality, you can also click the Install button (on this new dev build) which should install an older, compatible version.

Note: If you have razer devices, it's probably not a good idea to do this last part, as synapse might break if you have mismatched versions. In this case it might not be possible to get the lighting to your other, non-razer, peripherals but we're still investigating.

This is working as of v0.7.2+804. Thanks for the quick fix!
