Maschine 3 crashes at every start on scanning plugins

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I've cleand the registry and the appdata folder. I only scan vst3. I removed all other paths than the vst3 path. The scan hangs every time I try. And it hangs on random plugins. Waves, Wurli 2, VC76, AGLP.

Sorry, but this is an alpha version, not a V3.01. It is absolutely terrible. And the problem exist since more than 10 years. Shame on NI!

It is a waste of time and money. No question. Fix it!

Absolutely that would be great, just skip and deactivate plugins that did not passed the scan. But as i said it can be the shell.dll, it´s like a placeholder and redirects\refers to the single plugins so it makes sense that it can stop at different plugins, cause the scan goes "through" that dll, at least as far as i understand. But anyway maybe contact support and let them know, that there is a problem with waves plugins and maschine.

You could only go into the vst3 folder, move plugins out and back in step by step, in between open maschine. This is not particularly a problem of maschine 3, it can be a problem with waves plugins, at least I had some trouble with them in the past but that's some time ago to be fair, with the shell dll, I don't know if they still use it.

Hi Uwe, thank you for the quick reply. But as I mentioned the scan stops at random plugins. Plugins before passed the scan without a problem now crash the scan, like VC 76 or AGLP (Amplesound Guitar Lens Paul). I think, NI should write a scanning routine, that skips poblematic vst by itself.

I have Waves plugins on my system too, some purchased and some subscribed. Maschine doesn't get stuck.

what versions do you both use 12 or 13 or wherever waves is right now?
