Has anyone experienced this problem.  Both in Standalone and when using in Platinum.  It takes Rapture Pro between 3-5 mins to load.  In Sonar, I can drag the Vst in and it will play the default sound but when I try to open the GUI it takes 3-5 mins, before it comes up, and the system will not allow any interaction until the loading of the GUI is complete.  I'm waiting on Support to get back with me but thought maybe someone has found a fix.

Yes, the GUI takes a while to come up, although the sound plays almost immediately.
If you start Resource Monitor and watch the Disk access you'll see it is loading all the programs during this time.
I think it is building a database each time it starts ups. If you have a lot of stuff it can take some time.

Just curious, how long does it take you to load Addictive Drums 2?

8 seconds

Called Support today and was told the Bakers are working on this issue.

Is there still no information/fix for this issue?

Just a guess but I suspect the bakers are going to release one big fat patch addressing everybodies issues which will take quite a bit of time. In this sort of scenario launching lots of smaller patches will just increase the complaint noise.

There are two solutions that have worked for me and others - one easy, the other more drastic. The easy one is to add R-Pro (and Sonar and Cakewalk content folders) to your antivirus exclusion list, and the drastic one is to uninstall Rapture and Dimension pro, if you have them, and then uninstall/reinstall Rapture Pro *first* before reinstalling Rapture and/or DimPro, if you need them for existing projects. Between those two I got my originally *very* long load time down to a quite reasonable 10-20 seconds or so. And I'm on an old, slow machine...

How does that fare compared to the legacy plugins?
