For months now, we have all been putting up with this. It is really unacceptable from a big company like this. I own 3 NI KK keyboards and a Maschine and love the hardware. I have Komplete 14 CE. What I am trying to say is I have a substantial investment.
But this pile of broken software has soured my outlook. Everytime I open NA I spend sooo much time waiting for it to "update". I have sat through so many "download failed messages". I have purchased Kontakt Player libraries and it has taken days to get them installed. I have uninstalled, registry cleaned, AppData cleaned, rebooted, reinstalled so many times. Restarted NTK over and over.
I just can't put up with it anymore. It is horribly broken. NI needs to take a long hard look at this and fix it. I will not spend another dime on any NI product or Kontakt Player library. And I am going to shout loud and long at any third party developer to give up on Player to just require Kontakt full and flip NI the bird for absolutely ruining the user experience and save their money.
I hope you all join me in protest.
