Old projects with Omnisphere screwed up

[tusio]

IvyBirds --
It is enough to go to REDDIT and few other Forums to see how many other users have the same or similar problem. The installation of version 3 has only 3 prompts. There is nothing to mess up (unless somebody mess up the folders), so obviously you do not know what you saying by stating "poked around the install rather than just letting it run as intended".

You just simply showing your ignorance and instead of posting some solution you putting the blame on the user.
I would not be surprised you work for Spectrasonics or benefit from their sells (that's common behavior).

I have not said that every user has a problem, some do not and I am aware of that. Yes - I am super upset about lack of response from Omnisphere.
If your think I lie - it is your problem not mine. I am not here to argue with you, you have right to think whatever you want. Even your statements about installing it on 6 computers are laughable, but that's your choice and it's OK. Screen is like a paper, it will take whatever your mind produce, and nobody can validate your statements are true.

If you have a solution to the problem post it here and if not then simply skip this post and do not bother. I will not respond to your accusations anymore.

I have not said that every user has a problem,

This you?

Most people who install version 3 for the first time will have no problems of any kind, but the rest will.

Your entire rant is based on the fact that you upgraded to 3 from 2 and ran into issues. Then you claimed that new users won't experience issues, but the rest will. Which is it?

Only problem is the rest don't, but awesome you found a random guy on Reddit who claims he had an issue

That would mean Omnisphere has a 99.99+% success rate

IvyBirds - go in front of the mirror and argue with yourself, I am not into it. I am looking for solutions and will not respond to your posts, which make no sense. It is obvious you either benefit from the sells or you R a boot. END OF TRANSMISSION FOR YOU.

Can't we all just get along? LOL

UPDATE:
Finally I got in touch with SPECTRASONICS REP.
Of course they lied to me about trying to call me (and no answer), sending me Emails and no response) etc. Typical lies!

FINALLY:
We did remote session. Unfortunately he seemed to be not really well-educated on the product. I wasted 4-5 hours following his advice to uninstall OMNISPHERE (both v2 and v3), downloading new files (despite none of my HD files were corrupted and removing any kind of SPECRASONICS references.
After all this time I got to SQUARE ONE. I get same errors. All OMNISPHERE-2 tracks do not make sound or I get a message to replace the plugin with v3. They guy assured me the STEAM folder is compatible with v2 and v3 but obviously it is not.
At certain point after a first phase, and installing OMNISPHERE-2 only, I was able to open the old projects and the patches loaded as expected (at least on one project I tried). The moment I installed version 3 everything got messed up again.

I am writing this so if you have this same problem, do not make this mistake. Do not install version 3. In my case I do not have any choices and this makes my just furious. If I keep v2 only all me new projects from last 6 weeks will now work, and if I install version 3 all my old projects will not work.
I really do not understand how such a well known developers could release such a CRAP well - somehow they did.
BASICALLY AFTER 10 DAYS PROBLEM STILL UNRESOLVED AND I AM STUCK with few hundred dollars invested into SPECTRASONICS to destroy my work!

I am sorry you are having this issue, but let's not forget that this issue is not being experienced by anyone else

So let's also not forget that the issue is probably something specific to your machine and setup

Because I experienced nothing like you suggested and talk about Omnisphere on many different groups all over the net and no one has even suggested anything like what you have

So no Spectrasonics didn't release a crap product, they released a phenomenal product enjoyed by thousands of people none of which have your issue, but like all software made by all manufacturers might run into something user or machine specific

Not exactly true. Getting daily complaints from co writers having wasted days on these exact issues. We’re at least 15 people back on Omnisphere 2 - and yes it’s almost like Spectrasonics has left the country, taking a seriously extended vacation after creating an absolute mess.

So out of the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people who have upgraded we are NOT seeing this issue reported widely, but we seem to have a group of people who state are working together as "co writers" who seem to be having issues

Seems like whatever is going on it's a specific issue with a specific user group of "Co writers" and not a Spectrasonics issue

Are these Co writers all using the same user preset libraries and STEAM directory? Sounds sus

And again Spectrasonics didn't leave the country and has already reached out to the OP
