Good day,
I'm trying to use the soothe2 VST2 plugin, and having it loaded causes the configuration editor to crash.
EqualizerAPO.log throws out "2022-08-10 23:06:33.334 10756 D6F04FB0 (C:\Eigene Dateien\Entwickl\EqualizerAPO\trunk\filters\VSTPluginFilterFactory.cpp:91): File ??? not found"
The plugin loads up and works properly in other software (OBS Studio).
Thoughts? Happens in the two latest versions of EQ APO, running as admin doesn't have effect, installing the device im loading the plugin as other than LFX/GFX doesn't have effect.

    And you've put the plugin in c:\program files\equalizerapo\VSTplugins?

      Relocating it there had no effect

    Okay.

    It could also be a file rights issue. The plugin might use some files located in folders to which Equalizer APO has no right to read. Unfortunately this is pretty difficult to sort out. One of these files could be the license key file which might be located somewhere else then the plugin file. Anyway, on this forum there's a discussion which might help you: https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/discussion/general/thread/3842d136da/?limit=25#c277/3a35/001e/7019/77a0

      The plugin might use some files located in folders to which Equalizer APO has no right to read.

      This would only prevent the APO from working. I don't think that would crash the configuration editor, which runs with the normal user rights.

      Thanks for the link
      Though I couldn't find any exciting file access entries from process monitor, and adjusting the permissions of the folder where the plugin stores its configs didnt do anything
      Guess its just the software's limitations coming in

    @Etienne Dechamps I was thinking along the same line. The editor shouldn't crash. That seems to suggest that the plugin can't be used by Equalizer APO.

    @Petrus We know some limitations like a 32 bit version of a plugin can't be used on a 64 bit Windows pc. There is the possibity to use a VST host plugin in which you put the soothe 2 plugin. But this has its issues too.
