All I know is I installed windows 10 and Sonar Platinum is working perfectly with it on my machine. I'm glad to see that Cakewalk is right on top of things with the W10 compliance factor....good job !!

I learned a long time ago not to be an early adopter when it comes to software, waiting to make the jump to w10 but interested in the horror stories and successes

eZine has been updated with new Project Template enhancements section:

Wow!!

I had the same problem, so I clicked on the Gear and somehow my 32-bit and 64-bit VSTplugins folders got changed to the same. I corrected that and then it found the new updates. Thanks to the person who suggested that.

So does the new Project Template improvements mean that if I want to test something without saving the project that I do not have to name it, and hence it won't be saved as empty project folders named(by me) creatively as "sdfg" and "ertrt" which I then have to delete?

It's Windows 10 certified... so draw your own conclusions on the basis of this (plus no doubt the usual QA cycles within Cakewalk, whatever that is):

This is a fix included in Gloucester... so we have Win10 to thank?  

Exactly.

The Gloucester update is not showing in CCC for me!
 
Can anyone help me?

Yep dicovered this after reading some older topics!
 
Thanks the advice though.

The log out and back in trick only got me so far, it saw the update and downloaded, but the install failed.

First time ccc has failed to work for me.

It failed for me the first time too, 2nd time no problem.
 

Thanks!
I really appreciate your focus on the core performance and "issues" (as you call them) in this Sonar update.  The improvement in the Template page is quite useful, however, the improvements around fixing known issues are the most important to many of us (although probably the least exciting to your Marketing Dept.). 
 
Cheers,

I must be lucky!  I logged off then logged on and upgraded on the first attempt.

Latency while not a problem doesn't seem to be any different than it was in Win 7. Are there any settings I need to be aware of in order to see a difference? Like I said it's not a problem. My current settings are 64 samples/1.5ms. 

I believe you won't notice an improvement with latency if you're using ASIO, it's already talking to the system on a low level. The improvement will be with the standard Windows drivers.

Hmmm....I updated from Windows 7 to 10 this morning.  Just updated to Gloucester just a moment ago and now Sonar stops on the splash screen and I get the message sonarplt.exe has stopped.  Thoughts?
 
Just did a reinstall and the same thing...

Above is your problem. This is a windows system file.
First thing I would do is reinstall your audio driver (latest firmware + driver), and if no joy reinstall Sonar.
 
No dice? Then dump this thread and jump onto this thread with your system specs:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/Solved-Gloucester-update-is-still-crashing-on-my-new-Windows-10-install-m3266373.aspx

You are the MAN!  Updated the RME to the most recent driver and it fired right up.
 
Thanks!
