AngelCityOutlaw Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I had nothing but problems with EVERY vst on Windows 10 including the ones you speak of. It bricked my pc, even So I went back to 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 software can't brick hardware on a pc unless you're messing with BIOS settings. The Play engine doesn't mess with BIOS settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Play engine doesn't mess with BIOS settings. When I installed any vst and I mean any vst, the computer upon wake or reboot would take you to recovery options and wouldn't load windows unless you rolled back to a point where none of it was installed, thus rendering it unusable. I fought with this for weeks and so did the shop I eventually took it to. Reinstalling Windows 8 fixed the problem entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 it was almost definitely an issue with the system bus drivers not being installed correctly, or having multiple sets of drivers overlapping, so the VSTs couldn't requisition IRQ channels without getting overlaps or interrupts. reinstalling windows and reinstalling the system bus drivers likely would have taken care of it. reinstalling w8 had the same effect. also, bricking is a term that denotes damaging the firmware of a ROM chip meaning it can't be used. that doesn't sound like your issue...not trying to be a pedant but bricking vs. screwing up the os is a big difference =) TheChargingRhino and timaeus222 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Not sure how that happened with you, but I have a temp Windows 10 laptop and it runs plenty of VSTs just fine. TruePianos, Zebra2, Serum, Kontakt Player, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I've got a bunch of projects that use various EWQL (multiple patches) and various Kontakt (multiple patches) all the time. No issues. Win10 pro, updates, drivers, all good to go. prophetik music and TheChargingRhino 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I prefer 8 and wish they'd have stopped at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabeel Ansari Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Same here, no issues Windows 10 with any VST's. Studio One has its own beef with some plugins though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodok Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I've run PLAY and Kontakt just fine on my Windows 10 PC. I've never head a problem with my VSTs, other than having constantly reconfigure my directories as I upgrade to bigger SSDs. However, Windows 10 adds new features when it updates itself. This means it takes more resources to run with every update, and my FX 8350 processor doesn't go as far as it used to. Hopefully Ryzen will hit a nice price-point for an upgrade, or maybe it is time to make the switch over to Intel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yami Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yeah, those updates really suck. I really need a new computer soon too, or I need to be less lazy bouncing tracks to the disk, since my 2 year old (mobile) i7 can't handle a lot of VSTs in parallel any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
