The download assistant had some updates today. Halion Sonic 2 & 3 Combis. After installing, I’m missing all kinds of Halion pacthes/components. Any ideas?
Hi,
I’m having exactly the same problem. After updating the two components you mentioned, quite a few samples are missing for me as well. I’ve described this in detail on the German Cubase forum.
Best regards, Mike
Thank you, Mike. I’m glad it’s not just me! Hopefully it will be addressed soon.
Wow! It’s kind of crazy!
Thank you for reporting!
In have no idea of this is the cause, but make sure you have te latest versions of these libs, so redownload them remove with library manager en reinstall. Als make sure the are authorized in your computer.Try one first and see if it helps
Hi,
Just an update:
I opened a ticket with Steinberg (09.07.2026) regarding this issue and received a reply today (10.07.2026).
“The development team is aware of the bug, and it will be fixed very soon in a further content update. For now, I can only ask for your patience.
Best regards,
Daniel – Steinberg Support”
So, we’re waiting for the update now.
Best regards, Mike
Any word on this fix?
Hi, Y
Yes, there’s an update now.
I opened the Download Assistant on July 16, 2026, at around 6:00 PM. The Activation Manager was the first thing updated. Then, in the Download Assistant, above my products, as always with Steinberg updates, there was a tab (I think it was Updates → VST Sound), and under that was the “Halion Factory Content” download. It was about 1.2 GB in size. The corrupted *.vstsound files were replaced by these new files after the download.
Best regards, Mike
Thanks, Mike. All better!
