Running 10.1.1 Live on a 2018 MBP i7. Every version before 10.1.1 has worked fine. Upgrade to 10.1.4 broke a lot of VST's like Melodyne, D16, Kontakt, FM8... etc.


Went and tried 10.1.9 and the same issue appears with "The VST2 plug-in is damaged and can't be opened". All or most of these VST's are not old versions but not fully updated as I purchased quite a bit over the years and really don't want to go through the installer on 50+ plugins. These were imported from my HDD backup of my 2011 MBP.


Anyone with insight as to potentially fixing this error or confirming that there are no fixes would be great.

Thanks !

If everything is not up to date, going to be very hard to troubleshoot this one.

I guess a more direct question is, was there anything drastically changed from 10.1.1+ in VST2 compatibility?

More important to keep your plugins updated!

Why don't you update to 10.1.9?

Assuming that you hadn’t already seen it, this might provide some answers:
