Ok, I found out that with feedback routing enabled if I send tracks to another track and not directly to the mixer, one of the tracks doesn't sound and doesn't send midi signal to VEP7. With feedback routing disabled everything works, but obviously you don't hear any sound.
If I'm understanding you correctly, what you're saying is that feedback routing is not working when the individual tracks are routed to BOTH the VEP plugin track AND other tracks (reverb buses, submixes, etc.)
I created a test project where I routed three tracks' MIDI output to a submix track, then routed everything from the submix track to the VEP instance track. Then, I routed the audio from the VEP instance track back to the three individual tracks using the feedback routing procedure. Finally, I routed the audio output of those individual tracks to both the master track AND a reverb bus (which then routed to the master as well). Everything worked fine - I tried muting different things, freezing tracks, etc. No problems.
I've attached screenshots of the exact settings, ports, sends etc. that I used to create this set-up. Hopefully this can help you sort out whatever's bugging out on you. I do apologize if I've misunderstood your set-up in any way.
Overall Project Layout
Routing for Track 1: VEP Instance
Routing for Track 2: SUB-MASTER
Routing for Track 3: MIDI 1
Routing for Track 4: MIDI 2
Routing for Track 5: MIDI 3
Routing for Track 6: VERB BUS

This is not a VEP fault, it has the behavior I talked about with every multitimbral plugin, VSTi and VST3i. This is also confirmed by another user on the Reaper forum and I already warned developers about it.

The routing you did it is a bit more complicated than mine I think and from what I understand it is not exactly what I did.
I routed MIDI from single tracks to VEP track, then I routed audio from VEP to single tracks using feedback routing, in the end I routed the audio from single tracks to a bus track and if you'll do the same you will experience the same issue.
The BUS in my template are meant for mixing purposes so they should group instrument sections to control them at once, you are routing midi to BUS, I'm routing audio. My tracks doesn't route directly to master...
The strange thing is that is a matter of track position in the TCP, if I put the BUS track after the VEP main track everything works fine, if I put BUS track before it I have this issue.
Look at the thread to better understand what I mean.
