Other minor inconveniences such has having to use USB 2.0 slots, some users having issues with it on the latest Windows 10. Most recently, an owner asked if anyone else had an issue with their antivirus detecting the open flash software as a virus (false positive I believe).
Also need to purchase some erase credits if it's been unmarried too many times (I believe 5 times).
I've had mine freeze up once when I left it in my car. It reads OS is loading and won't go past that. Tried unplugging/plugging the OBD cable, turning on and off the car, plugging it into a computer.
Somehow it managed to solve itself when I left it on my desk for a day and tried to plug it in my car again the next.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention my tuner who is the owner of OFT. I can't vouch for a product if the owner of the company is not reliable. I can see why a lot of shops and tuners won't work with OFT even if it's open source. Thats why I originally said if it's for basic maps get OFT, otherwise if you're tuning for custom maps or doing anything further it's better to go with ecutek that is proven and reliable.

Yes oft has had a few issues lately with updates but its mostly solved now.
Tip if you dont want oft to update close your internet conection before plugging in oft to computer
Ive had a bunch of hassles with ecutek racerom 10 andeven racerom 11, triggering random vsc\trac codes limp mode , ecu shutdowns. Fueling issues , timing issues with flex intergration. So believe me ecutek is not bug free.
Ive also had a ecutek dongle !key fail, $250 Aud for replacement ie half fhe price of a kit
With oft the erase credits are free you just need to ask for them once device has been erased more than a few times.
Tuners generally dont like oft or tactrix as they cannot lock ecu.
They prefer brzedit or ecutek due ecu and tune locking
Especially ecutek for boost and flex, its just way easier for tuner and flex and closed loop boost control on all rom ids, also logging on brzedit and ecutek is generally superior and more supported roms.
