Display problems: missing price and time scale in MT5

 

Hi,

I just installed MT5 (build 5505 and updated to 5506) on my system (linux 6.14) and there are a few serious display problems.

The price and time scale, ticker, OHLC are all missing. See my attached picture.

This problem is reported by others too here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mt5/comments/1ote8vk/price_levels_date_and_ticker_not_showing/

Re-installation did not help.

Any solution?

Don't use beta build. Last official release is 5430.

In case you got an BETA update, for whatever reason, and you want to move to the last official release :

  • A Telegram channel has been created, you will always find there the last official release needed exe files.
  • MT5 Terminal is available in several versions according to your CPU capabilities. You can check which version you have to use in the Journal log, at the first entries after you started MT5.

Here my version is AVX2, an other possibility is X64

  • With this information you will know which zip file to download.


  • You then just have to replace your current exe files with the ones from the Zip. If you don't know how to do, then doing this operation is probably not a good idea.

After MT5 is restarted, you will have the last official release.

If you don't want to get beta-build updates again :

  • NEVER connect to MetaQuotes-Demo server.
  • NEVER use MT5 Terminal Help menu=>Check for Updates=>Last Beta Version.

Thank you for the reply.

How to do that? I downloaded the program from my broker, it is the 5505 build.

Also, I downloaded the MetaQuotes' installer, it is the 5507 build.

I have no Telegram access. How can I get the 5430 build, the AVX2 version?

Ask your broker why they are pushing beta builds. Or change brokers.
 

Am I the only one who finds it absurd that we have to beg for the latest stable build? How come it's not available?!

Try to ask MetaQuotes directly.

I only have the Windows exe, nothing specific for Linux.

Provide the executable files to downgrade to the last official release of MT5. Useful after an unexpected update to a beta.

It is great from you, thank you Alain!

Linux uses the Windows exe by using Wine, there is no Linux specific version at all.

I don't want to take advantage of your help, but could I ask you for one more favor? Could you tell me the checksum (SHA1 or SHA256) of the 5430 build's terminal64.exe and MetaEditor64.exe files you use?

I would like to compare it with the one I just downloaded to make sure it is safe.

AVX2 version : 

terminal64.exe - 1B38D3F448F74180773F710E1D59B306E293AF8A57C29DC9AB202692F595D84F

MetaEditor64.exe - D46FEEE483D417C30AE315FC229E5778954E3BFFFE6DAB3A73795D94553B3253

Perfect, thank you Alain!

Only 1 question remained: how can I decide which version is the proper for my system? I tried both (AVX2 and X64) and both works.

 

OK, I found the answer.

Thanks Alain, I appreciate your help!

Compiling MQ5 programs with AVX will be accepted into the market, says Renat Fatkhullin

Will they all also cater for code compiled with the extra instruction sets or only the regular compilation. For a couple of years now, terminals have been distributed in two versions, x64 and avx. Metatrader vps hosting is completely on avx2 versions
