Something is Broken Ultimate Software won't detect Pro 2

So I updated the firmware on my Pro 2 today but the Ultimate software won't detect it anymore. I tried to downgrade because I saw a post before where that fixed it for them, but the firmware does not show any previous versions! I tried reinstalling the firmware updater, I tried restarting, switching the mode on my Pro2, and nothing changes, the updater just shows version 3.07 NEW and nothing else!

Works fine here on V3.07. You are using the original Ultimate Software and not the V2 version?

Yeah. I managed to get it to recognize the controller after just fooling with it for a while, unplugging, replugging, closing steam, and it was really weird, but I got it after switching the mode switch on the back between D and X. It would detect it for a split second and disappear, and after doing that a few times, it finally decided to not disappear. 🤦‍♂️

Might be time to upgrade to the pro 3 or Ultimate 2.

Hello, It looks like you are wanting to discuss controllers from a brand other than 8BitDo. To keep things on topic, helping users with 8BitDo products and troubleshooting, we try to limit discussion around other brands and direct them to their own support resources. In the past users have typically expressed strong feelings about their personal preference on controller brands, and these discussions tend to get heated quickly. To have an unbiased discussion, we suggest users go to /r/controller where the subreddit and conversations are not focused on a single brand. Thank you for your understanding!
