Import Content Option in Kontakt 8 Gives "Incompatible Files" Error on Almost All Libraries

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Almost every library I own that worked perfectly as a tile in the library browser in Kontakt 7 can not be imported into Kontakt 8 without giving me a "Incompatble Files" error on hundreds of files ending in .ncw

This is happening to multiple libraries from Zero G, Sonuscore, etc…

Batch resave doesn't resolve this either.

Do the libraries work with the error message?

It appears so, the error message is annoying but it seems to be a false positive and doesn't stop the libraries importing if you just dismiss it

m.r.

Yes, Errormessage comes here also, but import is done

(i have checked 2 Libs but now i wait better for NI Update)

i think it is better if this issue is resolved by NI before i import all 3rd Partys.

Looks like the Error is the Error :-)

m.r.

The 3rd Party Libs are in "LIBRARY" visible only !

If you have open the Rack View with 1 or more open Instruments they are not on the Left Side.

Looks like this was fixed as of 21-Oct's v8.1.0 😁

happening to me on a really old library from Vir2 called Violence. It says nki are incompatible and nothing shows up. 8.4.1 atm. Everything else I've been adding worked fine.

EDIT well now it's telling me I can't import it due to duplicate paths, but there is nothing in the import screen about it -_-

I'm honestly mostly just fed up with f'ing with Kontakt lol…

EDIT2 now Violence shows up under File → Options → Libraries and even Native Access shows it installed. But Kontakt doesn't see it. I guess I have a new battle to fight, and importing it is over

EDIT3 Violence shows up under Classic View. I guess that'll have to do.

EDIT4 I got it. I know more about Kontakt and Native Access than I ever in my life wanted to lol. Also Violence's installer was causing issues. Once I backed up the raw files/folders, uninstalled Violence, blew it out of Native Access' install josn, and killed off komplete_db3 again, it finally showed up with everything else in Default view. Now to go make a MST_artwork.png for it :D lol…

EDIT5 Nothing loaded. Missing files. I can't batch save because it says it can't use a file. I give up and I guess have to either install Kontakt 6 again or let this one go -_-

EDIT6 Installed Kontakt 6, batch-resaved, library now installs via Kontakt 8's Import, no errors. But when I go to load a patch Kontakt 8 just crashes, Kontakt 6 opens it in DEMO. I give up, for now. I'd just delete this if I could
