windyweekend,
I have a feeling that if the kontakt update did not provide the fix... we are going to need to detail out the specifics of our vienna racks to track this down fully... Im 5 days into a slave configuration that hasn't had the issue... though like I said before, my racks aren't fully loaded as normal, where i first experienced the problem we've all reported in this thread... based on what I know now, I'm almost positive the problem is not hardware, os configuration, network config... has to be DAW-VEP or VEP-INTERNAL.. both server and standalone.
I'm about to architect a new upgraded multi-slave setup of a friend of mine who happens to be a much busier and credited composer than me and really would like to have this problem licked before signing off on his templates...
I will post the details of each setup that either has the issue or does not as soon as I can guys. peace.
