Unable to reload a project with specific VSTs

[Sweet Brew]

Hello. ^-^

So, I've recently tried getting into music making, I suck but hey, I'm having fun. lol
Anyways, so LMMS is a great DAW, but frankly I don't want just a ton of synths and stuff, So of course VSTs and SoundFonts or whatever were the way to go for me, but for some reason when I load a presaved project with specific VSTs it just loads and gets stuck at some % or another, depends on how big the song was, but then it completely locks up, basically I can't load it so the whole thing is gone.

It's happened with quite a few VSTs, one of them being Sonata violin and harp, two of my favorites, I have no idea just how many of my other VSTs will ruin my songs and frankly it's hard to work under the paranoia and needing to tast every new VST I download.

Anyone else having this issue or know a solution?

OS: Windows:7 64-bit
VST: Sonata harp/Sonata violin and a few others

Hello. ^-^ for some reason when I load a presaved project with specific VSTs it just loads and gets stuck at some % or another, depends on how big the song was, but then it completely locks up, basically I can't load it so the whole thing is gone.

That problem, used to happen to me, when I first started using Lmms.
It could be that those two Vst's or others, don't always work well in Lmms.
And the two you mentioned, I don't see them on the Lmms list I linked you too.

To make your project reloadable:

1) Remove those 2 Vst's/others from your Vst folder.

2) Re- Opens Lmms.

3) Open project.

Your project should load back perfectly now.
Tell us how it goes.

Well, I kinda already deleted the thing. lol Oops. :3
But yeah, I replicated the glitch and tested what you said and it works, so if this happens in future I'll be okay.
Thank you!

Thankfully I only just started the project so not much was lost.
Also, thank you for welcome me to the forums as well! ^-^
