DAW Freezes When Opening Plugins in Mixer
I recently updated to the latest version of some plugins through Native Access, such as Raum and others like Replika. Before the update, everything was working fine, but now when I open them, they freeze FL Studio. It doesn’t crash or say "not responding," but they remain frozen. I ran a test using the performance monitor in FL Studio and noticed that even though the plugin appears frozen, both the DAW and the plugin are still running in the background; however, they don’t seem to respond to clicks (I can’t even close the software). Checking the task manager in Windows 11, FL Studio shows 0 MB/s for both read and write, so it isn't doing anything to open or read the file.
Another thing I noticed is that after the update, Solid Bus Comp also had issues, but only with the graphics, which I had to fix through FL Studio’s settings. An important detail is that in the plugin picker of the mixer, I have two versions of Raum: the .vst and the .dll version. I discovered that only the .dll versions freeze, while the .vst3 versions work perfectly.
Can anyone help me?

Unfortunately this is a known bug. There is no ETA at the moment for a fix, proabbly not coming in the near future.
Here's what you can try:
Turn on the combination of VST and VST3. This can be found under Options > Manage Plugins > Scan options.
If that doesn't work we would recommend to switch to VST3. If you were using this in older projects then you might need to downgrade all the effects. Here is a list of links for the insttalers of previous version:
