This thread provides information about upcoming patches for Native Access. It will be updated whenever new information becomes available.

3.14.0 - 2024-09-16
ADDED/IMPROVED
Updates to the Product Details and Preferences pages.
FIXED
• Fixed non-Kontakt content products appearing as broken or missing in their host application after relocating.
• Fixed folders appearing under /Volumes on macOS upon initiating a download, after setting the download folder location to an external hard drive and then unplugging it.
• Fixed excessive rescanning of the VST3 plugin directory, leading to performance issues on Windows.
• Several infrastructure and stability improvements.
3.13.0 - 2024-07-24
Contains NTK Daemon 1.12.0
This release aims to do three things.
For one, the hotfix shipped with 3.12.1 did not seem to solve all users' launch issues, and as such we’ve found the culprit thanks to an awesome member of the community that fully addresses the issue (thanks to everyone who tested this fix as well. Please uninstall the Native Access versions you received and reinstall from the website!)
Additionally, we are officially deprecating support for MacOS 11 users. MacOS 11 users will not be able to update to 3.13.0 without upgrading their OS versions. This will also be the first instance where a MacOS 11 pitstop version will not be released. MacOS 11 users were not impacted by the bug rolled out to Windows users with 3.12.1, so that version should be stable for them.
Lastly, a feature long requested is finally making its way onto your products. With this release we’re releasing the new Maintenance menu, which contains the long awaited feature to batch locate all content products. This will make migration pains a lot less severe and allow you to change systems a lot more comfortably. Let us know how it goes!
REMOVED
Deprecated support for MacOS 11
ADDED/IMPROVED
• Improved the look and feel of dropdown menus
• Added a Maintenance menu in the sidebar
• In said menu, added a feature to locate all content products.
FIXED
• Resolved an issue that affected Windows users where Native Access wouldn’t open.
• Report a Bug links have been updated to go straight to the correct page.
3.12.1 - 2024-07-05
FIXED
Fixed an issue where the application did not start on some Windows system
3.12.0 - 2024-07-04
July 4, 2024 - Contains NTK Daemon 1.19.0
This is the first of many lightweight crash and bugfix patches that we’re shipping out to users. This specific release was focused around the startup and activation issues that users were facing, as well as an incomplete product list showing up in Native Access for many users. We’re also shipping some quality of life updates, and are hard at work internally to make sure issues like these don’t slip by unnoticed and untested again.
Our next release will be releasing shortly as well. We have completed the Locate All feature and will be shipping that in 3.13.0. But we will also be deprecating support for MacOS 11, so please update your systems now if you want to get access to new products + update your NA.
FIXED
• Addressed an issue that caused uninstallations through Native Access to instead become broken. For affected products, one reinstall should resolve the issue.
• Addressed an issue where products were missing from a user’s Native Access client
• Addressed an issue where users would be permanently stuck on Loading Products

FIXED
- Addressed a startup crash caused by a switch to new release architecture
3.11.0
Contains NTK Daemon 1.18.0
Many users may have learned, whether in-app or through outlets, that we’re launching a revamped subscription intitiative. This has caused some unintended behaviors in Native Access as we made the migration, and thus this release aims to patch those issues.
This release does not fix known issues to do with excessive loading times on Loading Products that some users have been facing. We’re working on a fix and ramping up efforts to stabilize the product. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

FIXED
• Fixed an issue where some updates remain in an update state due to a file not being replaced in the update process.

3.8.0 - 2023-12-12
This release is a reflection of a larger overhaul the teams committed on to improve the download manager experience behind the scenes. There will be more information on how we addressed it in an upcoming Dev Talks entry. TL;DR: we addressed a bunch of bugs and issues with the functionality, as well as introducing a few quality of life improvements. In addition to this, we’re shipping support to update a new installer type that will allow us to ship smaller-sized updates for products using this technology, making an update feature feel more like an update and less like a reinstall.
On top of this, we’re addressing some minor feedback received from the latest Q4 community post, making the banner a little smaller, the light mode installed button state a little easier to read, addressing the false positive file location error, and a few cases where an activated product shows as Demo. We hope that we’ve addressed quite a few issues, and we hope that the installation success rate goes up!
Lastly, 3.8.0 officially supports Sonoma. While we’ve done our tests internally, there’s a possibility we need to address issues that might arise. We’re now in a position to do so. Any concerns you have with your experience, please reach out to Customer Support, and we’ll do what we can to address them.
ADDED/IMPROVED

• Addressed the issue where users who start Native Access with no active NTK Daemon running (despite it being installed) would need to reinstall the NTK Daemon. Now it starts the installed one up instead.
• Fixed initial render flash when used in Dark mode
KNOWN ISSUES
• In rare cases when network connection drops a download might get corrupted and need restarting from the start. No user action needed, but download progress slowed.

FIXED
Addressed an issue where the Install button was available for products that cannot be installed through Native Access.
3.6.0 - 2023-09-25
Uninstall is here for NKS instruments and expansions! This should cover 80% of our product base and should make your debugging and product management lives a little easier. We recognize we still have to do this for apps and plugins, and we’ll get to those in the future.
Importantly, MacOS X 10.15 is officially deprecated. Current users shouldn’t be getting an update, and for those users who don’t want to auto update, you can browse the legacy installers to get a locked version. On top of this, we’ve made a few extra quality of life improvements and fixed a few other bugs that we’ve now been able to detect. We look forward to receiving feedback on the uninstall feature!

3.5.0 - 2023-07-26
Contains Daemon 1.13.0.0
Light mode is here! Navigate to the preferences page and select the general tab. By default we take your system’s theme, so some of you will be entering the light domain quickly. I’ll be adding a community page post to highlight how it works. Furthermore, to clear up some confusions that have been arising, we’ve removed the Beta label from the Go To Shop link, and the version number from the splash screen. Alongside some minor fixes, this release will mainly help us figure out our Daemon stability issues, so that we can start addressing more bugs as we go.
Would love to hear your feedback on the Light mode feature. Our next release will be shipping Uninstall for content products, so look forward to that!

• Addressed some cases where we performed activations too frequently
3.4.0 - 2023-05-23
We’re still working on the big meat of our Q2 releases, but for now we’re addressing a few improvements to some calls we’re making, some cleanups on the work we did last release, and some quality of life changes to hard drive handling. In addition, we’re making Native Access’ logo look a bit more modern. Our next two releases will contain a large under-the-hood overhaul to our download manager and uninstalling content products. There could possibly be one more release in the middle so that we can debug more issues on Daemon stability, so three releases planned for the next few months.

3.3.1 - 2023-04-19
Hotfix to resolve a bug where the NTK Daemon could not install for new users on ARM machines where Rosetta does not exist yet, causing product installations to inevitably fail as well.
For Guitar Rig 5 users, keep an eye out on the Legacy Installers page, added to the Help menu. 3.2.3 will drop soon that will prevent auto updating to later versions, allowing your product to remain activatable.
ADDED/IMPROVED
• Added Legacy Installers to the Help menu
FIXED
• Addressed an issue where new M1 machines or Rosetta 2-less devices could not install products or dependencies.
3.3.0 - 2023-04-11
It’s been a busy Q1. The team has been changing the way they work which caused some delays as we adjusted to the new setup. But since then, we’ve kickstarted a ton of investigative work and are working on four different releases simultaneously. This is our first phase, where we addressed a few bugs, made major improvements to the Add Serial registration flow, and made some major quality of life improvements to the product. Kontakt content products should be less frustrating to install, and first time installations should be clearer to newer users. We’ve added a quicker way to navigate to some sections of our ecosystem, and made it clearer what products are available to users.
The most important part of this release, however, is that we’re deprecating support for Mac OS X 10.14 and Rosetta 2. The two prior hotfix releases we did was in an effort to make sure 10.14 users are not completely blocked from using Native Access, but they will no longer be able to update. To update, please update your operating system to 10.15 or newer. Your Native Access experience will likely degrade over time, but we will not support NA2 versions 3.2.2 and below.
Tune into our DevTalks coming on Thursday for more information on what’s coming in the next quarter.
REMOVED
• NA2 no longer prompts you to install Rosetta 2
• NA2 no longer supports 10.14. Users should remain stuck on 3.2.2 if you’re on 10.14. If not, contact support.
• Removed emoji & symbols keyboard from MacOS menu bar
• Removed products from the Available tab when they’re part of a canceled/expired subscription
ADDED/IMPROVED
• Added keyboard shortcut to wipeout full serial input (CMD/Ctrl+Backspace)

• Added dedicated product detail pages. Click on a product image to open
• Added Go to Shop link (subject to change) to get direct access to the NI store
• Updated our diagnostic systems
• Broke up the generic Add Serial error message to more specific error messages for better diagnosing
• Users should no longer be prompted to download the latest version of Kontakt if they’re installing a content product that’s compatible with their installed version of Kontakt.
• Adjusted the content of the initial install success modal to better reflect next steps for newer users
• Added link to release notes in the Help section
FIXED
• Fixed an issue where Kontakt 7 was falsely marked as needing Kontakt to run
• Addressed an issue where Windows users were prompted to give full disk access, a common bug in Mac OS X 13 (Ventura). Reverted the error message back to generic Installation Failed.
• Addressed an issue where our diagnostic systems were consuming too much CPU usage on startup
• Fixed a bug where when delaying updating Native Access on Windows caused the app to become unclosable through regular means
3.2.2 - 2023-03-30
Hotfix that contains an improvement to help us better diagnose update issues.
ADDED / IMPROVED
• Improved diagnostics around our update mechanism
3.2.1 - 2023-03-29
Hotfix that contains a blocker for 3.3.0. This hotfix marks the last stable compatible version for users on Mac OS 10.14. This release will block users from auto-updating NA2 when on an incompatible OS, and allowing users who cannot run later versions of Reaktor or Kontakt to install their content products without being required to install Kontakt or Reaktor.
ADDED / IMPROVED
• Disable auto update for users on incompatible OSes
• Allow users to install content products without also downloading Kontakt/Reaktor if the latest version of either is not installed
3.2.0 - 2023-02-20
Our first release of the year! We’ve been looking forward to addressing activation and startup issues in this release by reshaping the way we listen to account updates. We also now cache activation statuses, which should improve startup speeds after first-time startup. In addition to this undertaking, we’ve added some account fixes, more error handling for common installation issues, important accessibility improvements to our UI, some really common download queue issues, and removed bundles as installable products.
Important note for the next release: As of NA2 3.3.0, Mac OS X 10.14 will be deprecated. We will also deprecate rosetta 2 dependency for people trying to run NA2 on M1’s.
ADDED / IMPROVED
• When login token refreshing fails, user will be logged out automatically
• Products are now cached after fetching a user’s products
• On user account updates, cached products are refreshed.

• Made some adjustments to the Add Serial flow where refresh events were fired twice, causing them to be stuck on “Registering Serial”
• Fixed an issue where on service degradation users aren’t permanently stuck on startup
• Fixed an issue where user’s couldn’t log out
• Addressed an issue where bundles appeared in NA2, which aren’t installable
• Fixed update size
3.1.0 - 2022-12-13
It’s been two months since our last release. This has been partially due to the holidays as well as emerging issues that we’ve been addressing, alongside planning the future of Native Access for 2023. To this release we’re adding a ton of quality of life stuff to fix some errors and improve on our error handling. We’re addressing the bug where we show bundles as products, some windows crashes, and took even more ownership of our front-end tech stack to have more control over accessibility and features. In addition to this we’re helping our newer users out with understanding how to open your content products, and also resolved some Daemon crashes. We’re also confident in rolling out Ventura support with this release.
ADDED / IMPROVED

• Fixed an issue where newly activated products were not showing in "New" if already installed
3.0.0 - 2022-10-27
We’ve finally completed work on a large tech overhaul! The goal was to improve the overall performance of our searching, filtering, browsing, startup, and management mechanics, alongside how we handle and access data. We’re excited to see all of this out in the wild, and see how much of an effect this will have on our app’s overall performance.
But of course, alongside this we’re releasing some goodies, such as Install All for the subscription page, browsing Effects by subcategories, and browsing products by their vendor. Additionally we cleaned up whatever mess we found in the process, such as sluggish modal and search behavior, some content, and tons of minor UI updates, to name a few.
We’re also excited to share a few next steps. Following the release of Komplete 14 many users experienced incredibly sluggish startup performance, caused by high traffic to some of our services. To mitigate a few issues we were able to identify, we’ll be committing to one more small but impactful startup adjustment before committing to a feature you’ve all been waiting for (and is long overdue): automatic uninstall. We’ll begin by releasing this for Native Instruments content products only, so we can establish a foundation, and iteratively release uninstall for the remaining products. We hope to get the first iteration out by the end of the year, but otherwise we’ll release it early next year.

2.7.0 - 2022-10-10
This release is rounding off the last view design works that we’ve done in anticipation of our larger tech overhaul in the following release. NA2 is getting a few minor cleanups here and there. That being said, we’re rolling out a feature for users who are not as familiar with our ecosystem: category information. We’re still trying to unify the definition of some categories across our entire product catalog within Soundwide, but we’ve enabled these information blocks for some. Via the help tool you can always toggle show and hide! Last thing is that we removed the frequent error message that appears whenever the Daemon fails to respond, and we’re investigating this more thoroughly before we reintroduce this warning. Apologies for the inconvenience.

ADDED a Retry All button to the download manager to try executing the download queue again.
