Virus Ti takes ages to load the plugin (macOS 10.13.6, Ableton Live 10.1)

  • I recently decided to install my Virus Ti again and encountered some serious issues. Did all the permission related stuff in security preferences etc..

    When I load the Virus Ti plugin it takes a couple minutes to load. I have a feeling that its going over the patch initialization or something over and over again but can't verify because Ableton just freezes with spinning mouse pointer until (minutes later) Virus Control pops up which is kind of annoying. I wonder if anybody else experiences this issue?:/

  • I only saw this when I had a lot of patches in the Access folder (on a Mac it is under your home directory, Documents-> Access Music->Virus TI->Patches, the plugin seems to go through them when starting up. Took a very long time so I moved them out of the folder after browsing and selecting some sounds. Immediately solved the issue.
