That suggests there’s some problem getting the RSS feed that’s used for the “Learn” page of the Hub, e.g. maybe your PC isn’t online or the firewall is preventing access. It shouldn’t make any difference to anything else in Dorico though.
Thank you, Richard. That’s it, my DAW is offline. I was worried if this was the source of my issues, or potential issues, since I don’t get this error with Dorico 4. Any way to skip the Hub/online components check during startup?
I’m afraid not. It shouldn’t actually be holding anything up, though - the fact that you see that message for a few seconds is I think because the next step is taking time to complete, rather than because the internet access is taking a long time.
