Excellent, time for a smoke...

I restored a "temp music" partition onto a new disk (partition) so I have X3d running on my "main" music partition and X3c running on the temp one. I have various backup images so I restored to X3b and then upgraded to X3c.
 
I don't have any Waves plugins Conley - but I'm having the same "can't save settings" (which really has nothing to do with presets) as you are - AND it works fine (with the VST3 version anyway) in X3b and X3c - but can't retain settings in X3d. That's the only reason I'm here - to see if you get any ideas of how to fix this, and hope they help me too.
 
Oh - and to remind Alex that I've reset AND rescanned

I'm glad you find it funny, it's a bit of a waste of time for me having to repeat the same question over and over again until I get a response, and if you like please let us know how Audio Damage deals with your issue.

if you like please let us know how Audio Damage DMG deals with your issue.

You mean DMG Audio - but of course - I'll scream it from the mountaintops when this gets resolved
AND, I'll copy and paste in to any threads I find with a similar "can't save settings" problem...
 

I was hoping you would stop screaming, anyway good for you.

Alex, you do tend to go OTT with your reset and scan thingy.

I guess we've all got the hint by now. At least i have ;-) but it doens't solve everything.

Cheers,

And I will continue to ask the question where valid and where I get no response. It was a perfectly reasonable question to ask in this instance and I had to ask it multiple times before I got a straight answer. Right at the beginning people were laughing about Alex asking about "Rescans", and not even mentioning resetting before I even joined the thread, so of course this needed pointing out. The laugh is on you if you joke about it and then write it all wrong. I've seen multiple threads where this has fixed issues like this.
 
Don't you think I'm bored of this too?
 
Cheers..

He doesn't listen J

Nope I don't, and it's just as well. Moving on then....

now that you mention reset and scan, during my original session with my buddy, we opened another project in 8.5 which had auto scan on startup selected. No biggie, the other project opened as expected and we closed it. We reopened that project in X3 and all of a sudden all of the used plugins were missing. We got the missing plugin dialogue and all. We reset and rescanned the plugs and the issue went away.
