Glitchy Sync Startup Screen Graphics

[Meanderthal]

Not only is there a chip shortage, now it appears they are going on strike as well.

Same on mine. Computers, what're ya gonna do?

Debug, reflash during the next scheduled service. BroncoMike is right, what else fell through the cracks?

From a computer standpoint, it look like insufficient video memory. Running a complex, moving graphic takes more memory than a mostly stationary set of icons or even the navigation maps. How widespread is the problem. Does @Ford Motor Company know that it's not a one-off and is affecting multiple people?

Everyone prepare for the "Hello! Send us a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your local Ford dealer. I’d be happy to see what I can do to assist with these concerns on your Bronco. Thanks!" message.

Ford has always seemed a little behind the rest in the tech department to me. This is a valid complaint, but I guess that's what I have come to expect from Ford brand. Like the slow response station changing.

This particular glitch seems to be some sort of waking up deal. If I get in and actually watch that animation (which is rare after 1,000 repeats) it does have the glitchy spot like that. If I sit still and wait for the car to settle back down and then open the door again, the animation appears to play smoother than the initial start up.

Don't have a tiny clue how, but I have read people saying they can use Forscan to replace that animation or even enable it on a non-Bronco.

I tested most of the animations, the bronco one is the only one that glitches. It is the one with the most complicated graphics though.

So. I have done a coursey look and did not find the as-built code to disable the startup animation. Does anyone else know?

Just a speculation - the Sync system is booting up during this time and they created the animation to give you something to watch while this is happening. The computer is busy with the bootup and Ford picked an overly complex animation that runs out of resources while the computer is busy doing many things. I personally think the animation is rather odd - I wish you could turn it off or change it to something a little more normal. I have seen the Easter egg where you can see other Ford model animations on your screen - I had mine doing a Mustang startup screen. But it reverts to the Bronco Sport animation on the next startup. Forgot how to do it, but it is somewhere on this forum...
