Problem openning vsts

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
So I have been producing for a while with about the same VSTs. For instruments I use Synth1, Digits, and VSTSpeek. For plugins/effects, I use MAutoPitch, Krush, Ace distortion, and Glitch.

However, when trying to drag the vst instruments in (I stored them in presets for easy access with presets from default instruments) it just stops responding and straight crashes for all of them. When trying out the plugins on an instrument or sample, it will do the same. My operating system hasn't changed, they have been in the same place, lmms is fully updated, they just stopped suddenly working for no reason (within the same hour of those plugins working!).

Now, any project involving the vsts, will not open and if it does it will load half way and stop responding. Anyway I can fix this? :cry: :cry: :cry:

Thanks!

The simplest thing would be a frozen VST-stub: We call it RemoteVSTplugin. Sometimes they hang them self up in RAM and that can create trouble. However if you have rebooted your PC, then they should be gone.
If you have not rebooted, then do that!
Let us know the outcome :)
lmms is fully updated,
You mean you got lmms-1.2.2 and its our off. page version?

please post your:
* Name of your **Operative System** (Windows/ Linux/ Mac) And subtype (Home' 'Mint' '10.13' aso)
* and just for good measures Lmms **version** and the *site* where you got it from

I did reboot my pc, and yes I got lmms 1.2.2 from the main site. Plugins will still not load, however I did RemoteVSTplugin in my task manager and I do have the option to end it.

My operating system is Windows 10 Home. I got the 1.2.2 version from https://lmms.io/download#windows.

Good.

and your os and version are fine.
What i would like you to do fist is to get our 'proof-vst'
MDA-piano http://mda.smartelectronix.com/synths.htm
It is very small in size, and you can just copy its dll to your VST-folder. Further its a quite good piano-instrument, so it is a win win.

also, dont drag it in. Follow these guidelines:

Sorry for the wait, lost internet for a few days, but this is what happens when I do basically down to a T (including having the vst in samples folder) and still turned up with the same result.

Pic of what it looks like mere seconds after I load the vst (mda piano): https://i.imgur.com/3qMh3Kf.png

still same result.
And that is with MDA-piano 😖
That is odd..
Wanna make sure:
You installed LMMS AS Administrator?
You have default security settings in WIN10?
You do not have the VST-dll inside neither program-files or program-x64-files OR the Windows-folder?
You do have all VSTs in ..\username\Documents\lmms\samples\vst\ -AND the path to samples in Settings is correct?
You have more than 2 GB RAM?

If all correct, then we need to focus on config
Remove config .lmmsrc.xml , follow this guide:
