Bug Report: Crashing with VST Plugins

I seemed to have discovered a bug, it happens when you try to load a project with a VST instrument. I have a DSK Saxophone and I put it in the correct VST folder, it works the first time I add it in, but when I reload it, it crashes and spits out this error message.

Headline: Maize Sampler Player

"Unable to load this instrument."

I would be disappointed if there was no fix for this because that would mean that I would have to make songs in one long session or just don't close out LMMS at all. If you could help me with this, that would be great.

I also don't know how to upload images from my computer on here or else I would show you what the message looks like. Thank you for your help in advance!

EDIT: I've been looking around and people with similar cases have been told that some VST pluggins do not work with LMMS.

Yes, not all VST does work, but most.
We have made a list over those that we know results in trouble

DSK sax is not on, because some can use it, other cant, but in general this

Is what you need to do, when a project hangs, due to a failing VST
