First boot of Cubase after update and I actually got a halt-warning that [FCL_SMT_222_Basic_Controls] was missing and asked if I wanted to locate it…googling the file name brought me here. So it definitely isn’t required ?
I had 4 Cubase files mysteriously appear in the Recycle Bin after the update. When I attempted to Restore them, a message appeared informing me that there were duplicates in the chosen directory and asked if I wanted to override them. I felt Ok with emptying the recycle bin afterwards.
