i just installed the new revision, same problem, no new vst2 dll has been created in my chosen folder, there's no new dll installed anywhere, just the previous dll so synthmaster won't load, this is the first time i've ever had problems installing new versions of synthmasterkv331 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 8:04 pmVST3 is installed to a fixed location on Windows, under Program Files\Common Files\VST3Lbdunequest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 6:55 pm There is something wrong with the installer. It installs DLLs to C disk despite having selected different directory and doesnt show full plugin anymore. Instead i see this.
VST2 is installed to the location that the user chooses.

Testing this asap.
EDIT: I tested with both the full setup and the update setup on Windows. Chose different locations for the VST2 dlls, they installed correctly to the folder that I chose. Sorry guys, If I can't reproduce an issue I can't fix it

I said I wouldn't but alas..
on mac.. thank you.. for the renaming, and on mac only the vst3 shows as it should.
on pc however:
the list still shows vst2 and vst3, but I can't load the vst2 one, just shows up in the list but nuendo can't load it, but it loads the vst3 one fine..
it also seems to have a preferential folder for vst2 on pc... and even though I tell it my older folder that I liked, though it does install it there fine, if I try the installer again it ignores my folder of choice and shows its folder of choice as a default..
hope that makes sense
(I want c:\program folder\steinberg\vst\kv331 and it seems to offer c:\program folder\vst2\kv331 as its default)

Thanks, well good news and bad news.
The good news:
Only the vst3 shows now.
the bad news.
It loads fine in Cubendo 12,
then I choose my preferred default patch..
so far so good,
then I save a default preset in SB which is the way you can set up a default instance, patch, skin, size etc... and then trying any instance after that Nuendo crashed. (I emailed you the dmp although I know dumps on windows are not as useful as they are on macs).
Deleting the SB default.vst3 saved preset and it seems to be fine.. so it is just something about saving a default preset in Cubendo that it doesnt like.

Using Studio One, on Windows 10, I opened a couple of past projects from 2-4 years ago that contained Synthmaster 2.9.12, and the plugin loaded correctly recalling the saved preset.
Windows 10 and too many plugins

loading older VST2 settings in DAW project files should work without any issues, and once you save the project it saves as VST3.

I can confirm this issue with Cubase Pro 11 on Windows 11 using the latest SM2 VST3 update posted above. As zvenx described, saving a preset as default and then creating a new instance makes Cubase immediately crash.zvenx wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 10:16 pm the bad news.

Ups, again bad news: it seems the whole preset saving functionality on Cubase is now broken. Using the latest SM2 VST3, if you save a SM2 patch as vstpreset and then try to reload it, Cubase crashes. However, I can also confirm that vstpresets saved with previous SM2 VST2 versions load just fine, so maybe it is only the SM2 VST3 that is not saving vstpresets correctly.
