Display Issue with Native Instruments Plugins in Cubase Pro 8 (Kontakt 7/8, Raum)

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am experiencing a display issue when using Kontakt 7, Kontakt 8, and Raum inside Cubase Pro 8 on Windows 10. When I open the plugin window, only the top-left corner of the interface is visible, and I cannot resize or interact with it properly.

System Details:

Cubase Version: Cubase Pro 8
OS: Windows 10
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 (latest drivers installed)
Screen Resolution: 1920x1080 (Dell monitor)
Connection Type: HDMI / DisplayPort
Issue Occurs With: Kontakt 7, Kontakt 8, Raum (possibly other NI plugins)

Could anybody provide any guidance on how to resolve this issue? Is this a known compatibility problem between Native Instruments plugins and older versions of Cubase?

Thank you for your help.

it might be down to Cubase not handling modern VSTs correctly. You could try a demo of C14 to see if you still get the problem.

Unrelated - don’t forget the Steinberg elicensing servers are being turned off in May, so if you plan to upgrade any elicenser based software you need to do it before then.
