3rd party plugins not being displayed properly

Post by david.barker » Sun Sep 04, 2022 6:41 am

Hello
So ,my problem is my 3rd party plugins are only and partly showing and not fully,when I load them into the arrange view.I cannot use them properly

Not used Ableton Live 11 (current version ) in a while due to work commitments

The HDPI setting is off (I dont have HD monitors) and Im kind of lost to what it could be.The auto scale option on the plugin is ticked too

Its all a bit tedious
any help would be welcome,thanks

Is it happening with all your 3rd party plugins, or only a few ones?

Not 100 sure as I haven't used Ableton Live 11 for a while,while I have been so busy at work

But I will take a look around and see.,when I get a day off . Maybe upload screen shot of what I m seeing?

I have the same issue with different plugins too.

Like EastWest Spaces II Reverb, or some plugins from Softube.

They are not showing in Ableton Live 11, but they do appear and work fine in other DAWs (Logic, etc.).

{Update at 23:32 29.09.22. Uninstalled 11.2 and re-installed 11.1. Works perfectly. There is nothing in 11.2 I need, so I'll skip this update and wait until a new version comes along - not worth spending any more time on it. Aside : First problem I've had with Live, and I started with V4. ...}

Having same problem, and applies to both VST2 and vst3 plugins. Missing plugs include the whole of Ozone Advanced 10, DUNE 3. (Yes , I've done multiple re-scans during testing)

They worked in Live 11.1 30 minutes before the upgrade, so everything seemed in order then. Plus, they all appear as normal in other DAWs and hosts like Cantabile, so it's certainly a Live 11.2 issue.

Checking now, but is looks like I'll have to downgrade tonight. Disappointing.

[Added later : broke the first rule of issue reporting by not stating my environment. It is i9-9900 CPU on Asus Z390 Mobo/ 32Gb memory / Samsung EVO970 SSD on M2 / Radeon W3100 video card/ Windows 10 Pro. ASIO for Motu 828 and Motu M4.]

Did you make sure that those plugins are up-to-date?

There's some work done in this area in L11.2, did you try it?
Improved high DPI support for VST3 plug-ins on Windows:

Plug-ins that support high DPI and IPlugViewContentScale should be the correct size.
Plug-ins that have their own resizing logic should not resize when the user drags the window around.
Plug-in windows are instantiated with the correct size in both scaled and non-scaled modes.
Plug-ins that support host-initiated resizing are interrogated by calling checkSizeContraint in the correct place.
Plug-ins that support host-initiated resizing can be maximized by double-clicking on the title bar.
