Because the FPGA image is different than last year.

No... it won't care. And neither will you because you aren't using them.

Based on reports, it is every other encoder... so if you change the VI to assign only even encoders, then they should all work. I have not actually tried this approach so I can't guarantee that it will work, but it sounds reasonable.
