Have you tried uninstalling? Fire up Cubase and let it register the lack of BFD3 and then close Cubase. Reinstall BFD3 and then fire up Cubase again. It might work.
There is quite a high risk, they will crash Cubase (or some). I would strongly recommend at least to update all of them.
If any of the plug-in is using iLok protection, update the PACE software. It’s even better to uninstall the plug-in, update PACE, reinstall the plug-in.
My BFD3 is working under Windows 7 with all the latest (and meager) updates. BFD is version 3.1.4, which I’m guessing is not the latest. IF BFD3 broke I’d be in a real mess.
Off topic (but topic adjacent). Take a look at the BFD3 credits on their ‘about’ screen. Initially it runs through normal credits you’d expect. But then they start listing a bunch of comic stats like, number of arguments over fonts. I think that was 6.
Thanks Martin. Now that I consider it, 3.1.4 might well become the last version of BFD3 installed on my current system. Good to know now rather than discovering it after updating.
I made sure all my pugins are up to date then trashed preferences and again on a reescan a large number of plugins were blacklisted incluyding bfd3, cypher 2, equator, fathom, hybrid, jamstix, storbe, VG_IRON, all valhalla reverbs, all 2C-Audio effects + a load more I wish Cubase gave a reeason for blacklisting then I may be able to do something about it
