Guitar Instruments not Playing in Kontaklt 6.8.0

Hi,

I'm having an Issue with Kontakt 6.8.0.
All of a sudden my Guitar Instruments are not opening in Kontakt.
Strummed Acustic 1 & 2 and Electric Sunburst.

Everything is updated to the latest Version.
All my other Kontakt Instruments are working just fine.
Anybody had this Problem?

Cheers!

You can find the installers here to downgrade your libraries:

The updated version of these libraries need a newer version of Kontakt which is why you're getting that message. You'll need to uninstall the versions of the libraries you have installed then install the older versions. You can download the older versions of the libraries from here - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/account/downloads/

The other option is to upgrade Kontakt to the latest version, but rolling back to the previous libraries is cheaper :) When Native Access prompts you to upgrade libraries check the requirements first as most recent ones need the latest Kontakt.

Always check the product update Release Notes prior to updating in Native Access.

Also as already suggested by mykejb then you can either download previous library version form your Account downloads (might require you to uninstall the new version before re-installing the old version) or you could also opt to use the free Kontakt 8 Player which is part of present version of the free Komplete Start and then if need be then in Komplete Kontrol settings remove check mark in the Always use latest version…
