I am using Monterey OS and this version 3.0 now does not work at HD. The pan and tilt no longer works and the focusing is also buggy.

Hi, I'm using 3.0 (0301) and recently upgraded to 12.0.1 (Monterey). The app still works, but profile updates are no longer saved. I can make changes and they take effect, but next time I start the app the settings are back to the old saved ones.
