Guitar Rig 6 and 7 takes in excess of 40 seconds to load - standalone and plugin

itronic

This problem started with Guitar Rig 6, Battery 4 and Kontakt 7. After updates to these FX/instruments, initial load times went from 1 to 2 seconds to 45 seconds or more. When DAW's carried out plugin scans this would crash the DAW plugin scanner for taking too long.

After a long period, NI (thank you Jeremy_NI) released an update for Kontakt 7 that reduced it's load time to 4 - 8 seconds, which is useable.

kontakt 8 player was slightly quicker.

I have finally updated to Komplete 15, and Kontakt 8 still loads between 4 - 8 seconds, which is fine. (This is only opening the Kontakt GUI - NOT loading an instrument.) In plugin form, after the first instance has taken 4-8 seconds to load, subsequent instances of Kontakt load within a second.

However, Guitar Rig 7 takes in excess of 45 seconds to load as standalone, or first plugin instance. I appreciate that Jeremy_NI said no further development would take place on Guitar Rig 6 in this thread - https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/9538/kontakt-7-very-very-long-to-launch/p14

But will Battery and Guitar Rig 7 receive the same treatment that fixed the problem in Kontakt 7 and 8?

More details are in the thread linked above, but basic specs are i9, 64 GB RAM, and mulitple SSD's, PCIe4 hard drives, Win 10 latest version, NI Komplete audio 6, Maschine Studio and S61 keyboard.

Thank you for any update on these issues for Guitar Rig 7 and Battery.

I appreciate this only effects some users.
