Compatibility issues with certain VST plugins?

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Hi again, its been four years since I last posted on the board. My previous issue fell by the wayside, I don't remember if I figured out what was wrong, I probably did considering I didn't need to refer back.

Side tangent aside, I have a new problem with some vst plugins I have that I know were previously compatible with VeSTige, considering I was able to use them on my old computer (I now have a new computer model, an XPS 15 with Windows x64 bit OS, if that matters at all).

The way i've been applying vst plugins is using their .dll files, and the plugins in question are specifically called Pigments from Arturia, TRITON from KORG, and Synplant 2 from Sonic Charge. I tried that again on the new pc but they just wont load. I suppose I may have to use the method to set up a way for me to run VST3s but I'm a little intimidated by the process of doing so. Unless there's a way to directly use the .dll files associated, I might need a step by step walkthrough on how to install VST3 files into projects.

If you need pictures or anything of the program files let me know, thank you.

HNY!
I dont like that previous working VST2-dll's has stopped working after you have migrated to a new win11 pc. It does not matter that the new pc is x64, you should still be able to use x34 plugins. (Its the other way around that cant be done.)
But is the LMMS version also the one you used on your previous pc?
What version is it?
VST3 is not at all compatible with LMMS yet. You need a middlelayer. In windows You need Element by kushview for windows as a bridge

I tried using element on the latest version but it experiences the same problem as the other dll files I'm trying to use. Maybe its the newer version thats causing issues, I'll try an older version and see if that works.

EDIT: I compared my current version with the version on my previous PC, nope, same version.

Bad. Then there seams to be something in win11 that is a problem, that would be nasty..
One other thing would be the graphic in your new pc, but either way, very difficult to solve -sorry
