    I read on the MOTUnation Forum that updating your Kontakt 4 to 4.2.2 will make your VEP not load? http://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=45474 Can anyone confirm that this is true or simply a rumor? I want to update my Kontakt, but i have deadlines, and it's not worth the risk for me to try. Thoughts?!? Thanks!!

    ...no problems at all. And : the crash on exit on slave if Kontakt was on VePro is solved.

    not true here (VE Pro on MacPro slave, OSX.6.6), no issues.

    but, I and some others have downloaded a botched installer for the update of the factory library, subsequent downloads worked tho.

    True here. There's no way to work with 4.2.2 in VE Pro for me here. It crashes all the time.

    No problems here using it hosted in VEP on master (OSX 10.6.5) or slave (Win7 64 Pro).

    Kontakt is less-than-stable in hosts when you are using the host's multiprocessor support and Kontakt's is enabled. I would suggest checking that if someone hasn't. Also check for memory servers. If one uses Play with a memory server - which is Play at all under OSX - and KMS is activated, you'll have crashes.

    Stephan, What's your system setup? I'm using 2 quad core Mac Pro's (1 Master/ 1 Slave) Thanks! J

    The slave is a Core2Duo and it's working like a charm. The master is an i7 and there's no way working with it. I downgraded the i7 to the Kontakt version before 4.2.2 and it's working again. Best, Stephan

    Btw: Forgot to say...with 4.2.2 on the i7 there was no big difference between using the multi core thing in Kontakt. Kontakt just lived a little longer till it crashes with the multi core thingy set to off. Now with the older version I let Kontakt work with all 8 cores and it's fine.
