Initial sequence plate solve always returning an error

I am using manual rotation. Before the latest updates, the sequence always began by taking and solving an initial image. This would then used to determine the initial rotation error. Now I always receive an error message saying that the rotation error cannot be determined. Try running a solve sync. My only option is to abort the sequence and run a solve and sync. Then everything works fine. If I do a solve and sync before starting the sequence, it makes no difference. I get the same error. The only thing that works is aborting the sequence, doing a solve and sync and then resuming the sequence. Is there a parameter that I haven’t set up correctly? It’s hard for me to believe that it was designed this way.
