Bitwig 5.2 Beta 8 not loading Kontakt 7 or Maschine 2 at all

outland

This seems to be a new problem distinct from the issue I was having with Kontakt 7 Betas 1-5 not loading a couple of instruments (Walker 1955 Concert D and Shreddage 3 Fretless) up until Beta 7. This first issue was fixed totally in Beta 7. Now, in Beta 8, Kontakt 7 (as an plug-in) and Maschine 2 will not load at all. I have tried loading this individually, but still a no-go. This happens whether loading an old project or trying to load Kontakt 7 into brand new project.

Has anyone else had a similar problem with Beta 8? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm on Windows 11 Professional, BTW.

Thanks in advance.
