The path for VST plugins is in disk C，while I would like to change it to disk D. However, in order to open the settings button left below in “manage VST plugin” section, I have to first click the “VST2” botton, and when I do this, the software crashes.
Is there another way to change the path for VST plugin?
Hi and welcome to the forum,
Make sure, there are only VST2 plug-ins in the given folder. Not the whole C drive or D drive.
If this is the case (and there are no other *.dll files but the VST2 plug-ins) and it’s still crashing, attach the *.dmp file, please.
Win: %userprofile%/Documents/Steinberg/Crash Dumps
Hi,
I’m sorry, we don’t know, where are you located on the screenshot. What is the path of these folders?
Hi, Martin
I guess that it’s this one :
But i’m wondering about the Cubase generation used by @payphone121. Apparently, there is no CrashDumps folder, in this case, in the expected location for a recent Cubase edition.
This is indeed the path
OK. Could you post a screenshot of your Studio > VST plug-in Manager window, showing the VST plugins paths (with the framed in yellow button, at the bottom of it) ?
If not possible (Cubase crashes…), try to do so, relaunching Cubase in safe mode, with the Deactivate all third-party plug-ins option ticked.
My Cubase got to normal by Safemode somehow. By the way, is it possible to change the VST3 path? My disk C will be full sooner or later.
Thanks a lot!
Great ! So now, all is about to find which VST 2.x plug-in is the culprit of the Cubase crashes. I would suggest to start from a new project and add the necessary tracks to test each and every plug-in that could be involved. A tedious work, I know…
Concerning the VST3 plug-ins paths, I don’t think that we can change them, and even if so, I wouldn’t try to do so, as Cubase expect the VST3 plug-ins to be in a precise location (I don’t exactly remember which one…). As long as you have at least 10 Gb available on your C: drive/partition, I believe that you are safe. What you can do, though, is to change the locations of the Steinberg libraries/content, if there are some installed on your C: drive, using the Steinberg Library Manager.
Thanks！
