I'd been using an organ vst with no problems but I tried some new ones last night (strings, viola, guitar) and while I can open them and play them & save the track, I can't reopen any track that uses one of the new VSTs. Any track I try to reopen gets as far as showing me the plugin but it won't finish loading the project it just sticks around 85%

Can anyone help? I'm using Win 8.1 and LMMS 1.1.3 and like I say it's worked OK with the organ VST (which is still working now).

VSt is not 'just' VST, some are build 'oddly' and can cause this

I suggest that you try out the latest stable version, LMMS 1.2.1

You should definitively upgrade!
1.2.1 is much better when it comes to VST-support.
Very few fails

Follow these guidelines for updating:
*If you have made anything ...Back-up your own stuff

Thanks! I will try updating to the newer version, hopefully that will help.
