I updated to 2.0.3 but V-Manager still says 1.8.6 and files in vst3, vst and AU folder still says 2.0.0. ....I guess 2.0.3 is installed but that should be corrected...

Fair question: M1 Max, 64GB, 4TB MBP / Monterey. I'm on the latest version of Avenger 1.8.6 arm64 (have 4 expansions currently), and it's pretty bad.

Haven't tried the update because I'm not giving them any more money until I am reasonably sure this has been solved.

That’s a good call! I should’ve done the same…

The spikes on my 2023 Apple MacBook Pro, M3 Max running Sonoma, are really bad.

This needs fixing ASAP!

Manuel, danke für die enorme Mühe und das Engagement für die Updates, wir, die Nutzer dieses großartigen Synthesizers, wissen das zu schätzen.
Does anyone know what He-Man wrote?

He said thank you for the enormous effort and engagement for the updates and that we, the users of this amazing synth, appreciate this!

Germans among ourselves, you know!

But again - what Avenger version are you on?

I'll add this to the FAQ as it is coming up 3 times on every page now, but you can check which version you are actually on by clicking the SYS tab in Avenger, and it's listed at the bottom.

I am also on a 16 M1 Max MBP and also having cpu spikes and audio crackles, and I am not upgrading to Avenger 2 until there is a 100% confirmation these issues are fixed.

Is the plugin now Native btw (so no Rosetta 2 layer)?

With Serum and Spire I have none of these CPU spikes and audio crackles on my M1 Max btw.

Yes

Cool, that is good to hear.

Now I just need a confirmation that the CPU spikes and audio crackles are fixed on the M1 Max.

Repeat post….Is there a way to use and edit factory/exp drum samples in an Osc module rather that a drum kit to allow deeper synthesis and editing. They don’t show up anywhere other than the drum editor. Thanks in advance and apologies if I missed something obvious.

No, pretty sure there's no way to do this (save of course rendering them out and re-importing them. There's a tonal drums section in the factory samples library, but that's about it otherwise.

There is nothing about it on page 67 neither on page 66, can't tell for pages before but yeah ....that's a good idea to put it in the FAQ since this is the reason being of FAQ...

You know you can mark any text in any language and with right click you can translate it to your default language?

maybe this will help you too, i had the problem that all my content was gone (incl third party and own presets):

I found the solution: the installation also created a new expansions folder in the VENGEANCE folder. But in this there is also still the V1 folder, ALSO with an expansion folder - in which all my expansions are. I copied those (for safety reasons "copy") into the new expansions folder - now everything is fine.

Check your vengeance folder if there are 2 expansions folders a new and an old one or if a second Vengeance folder was created. Could be that is the problem.
