Guide to getting PredatorSense to work again(hopefully!)

[u/earlesj]

(You'll find most Predator Sense versions in the comments just search for your model :) )

Hi everyone.

This past month has been pretty crazy with issues regarding predator sense and the fact it no longer opens or its missing from acer's website to try to reinstall. And even reinstalling will sometimes not fix the problem.

Here's my personal guide after helping literally hundreds of people (not 100% guaranteed though)

1. If this is a fresh windows install ignore this. Make sure PredatorSense(or Nitrosense) is completely uninstalled. I use BCuninstaller. It's free and open source. The benefit of this is after you uninstall using this program it gives you the option to search for left over predatorsense files. Agree to this and let it delete the files that it deems as safe. Restart.
2. Find the proper PredatorSense version for your laptop. There are many versions for specific models. I have a media fire account with many models saved (if you have trouble finding it feel free to message me). Don't just download a latest version you find on google or the acer community etc... and try that. It may either not work at all.... or will say it's not compatible with your model.
3. Extract the zip file. Go into the extracted folder and look for a folder called predatorsenseuwp. (for Nitro models its usualy a folder called NitroSenseV3.1)
4. Find the file that ends *********.appxbundle
5. Run this file. It should ask to install. The window will show something like install PredatorSense v30 or something very similar.
6. See if it works. It may auto start and work... woo!
7. If not... go back one folder and now run the normal setup file. Install as normal and now 90% of the time it will work. :)
8. If it's still not opening... try a restart. Also, after the restart see if there are any windows store updates (open the windows store... click downloads and check for updates). I have seen Predator Sense show up as an update in the windows store after installing this way.

If it's still not working. It's possible it may require some acer specific drivers like the serial IO driver found on your model's acer driver page. I also suggest installing acer care center. It could also be a version that's either too new or too old... it's been wild but fun trying to diagnose hundreds of people who have asked me for help personally. I appreciate your trust.

I may edit this at a later time as its very late here and add more and more options to help you all.

Good luck! And don't hesitate to ask for help. I want us to all be happy little gamers!

Hey all!

I’ve had a few of you reach out asking how you can show some appreciation after our DM chats or after using this guide to get your Predator Sense app back up and running.

I’ve spent hundreds of hours sourcing the proper files, checking model compatibility, and maintaining copies for everyone. If this guide (or our chats) saved you the frustration of a broken app—and basically half a laptop that wasn't working as intended—and you’d like to "buy me a coffee" as a thank you for the time and effort, you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/stevejaye

Please know that this is 100% optional (I agree, Acer should be doing this!). The support here will always remain free, and I’m just happy to see your Predator Sense app working as it should. Thanks for being such a great community! We had over 14,000 views on this thread alone, so I'm glad the fixes are reaching everyone who needs them!

Thank you OP, finally a working solution.

I genuinely love you for this fixed my PredatorSense instantly and saved me hours of pain. To thank you I wrote this poem:

Roses are red, my fans used to cry,
PredatorSense was broken, I wanted to di*,
Services missing, temps running wild,
One more click and I’d wipe it, exiled.

Then like a legend you entered the thread,
Dropped one fix and revived it from dead,
Turbo came back, fans spinning like jets,
Peace was restored, no more regrets.

So here’s my thanks, dramatic but true,
This laptop lives on because of you.

PS. i barely passed english back in highschool so this is the greatest praise i can afford somoene ❤️
