    Hi ,

    I'm facing a GUI bug with Metropolis Ark 1
    i made a batch resave (locating the capsule correctly), i downloaded a different torrent thinking that the capsule could be corrupted, i digged the forums here and out in the jungle
    i'm on OSX Sierra 10.12.6 using Kontakt 6.2.0 & 5.6.0
    Logic Pro X 10.4.4 and Ableton Live 10.1 give me the same bug
    ARK 2,3 & 4 work perfectly, i only have this bug with Ark 1
    Any Idea?

    This happens when while batch-resaving Kontakt doesn't find the proper images (and a possible .txt file with the image settings)

    Which version are you using? There's two (1.1 and 1.2)

    put the installers off this folder may help for batch re save. nuke the v1.1 folder also.

    you should download a brand new hybryd iso to get the good thing. it can be done on pc if you dont manage to get it on rutracker to the last format.

    You have v1.2 which includes both.
    I'm almost certain @bobdule is right. Probably when resaving Kontakt misplaces things of the v1.1 and v1.2 version (the nkr files when images are stored).
    If you don't have a backup of the original instruments try first re-downloading them. Then keep only the v1.2 ones. Resave again.
    Also, it's very likely the executable when installed contains more images or other resources.

    1. Delete everything, except samples folder.
    2. Download torrent from rutracker to Metropolis dir.
    3. Batch reserve.
    4. Done.
    5. Roll a Joint.
    6. Smoke it.
    7. Load bass spicatos at full sound.
    8. Play as hard as you can.

    What he said. I'd add backup that "everything but samples".
    It seems there's only nkr file, so perhaps you don't to care for the different versions thing.

    Hallelujah!!

    it took me some times to understain why i should keep the sample and get rid of everything else, then by checking the modification dates of different files in the directory i start understood that i prolly printed some error in the directory. as i still had the original downloaded file seeding in my vuze folder i replaced everything except the sample folder, erased the instaler and v1.1. removed the .plist from user and system preference folder. removed the Xml file from Service center. add back the libray. and it 's Working!!! Thx

    this finally enlighted me on what other tried to say. Thx Again, hope this treat may help some other!

    So that was it. Glad you could find the problem. It happened to me a lot when I began to slim down Kontakt libraries. In your case the original folder was still seeding in the Vuze folder. In mine's I had two folders like:

    Metropolis.Ark

    Metropolis.Ark.Lite

    When I resaved the .nki instruments in the Lite folder worked like a charm but kept the original location of the .nkr files.
    So when I'd delete the original one, I had similar problems and I was like WTF?

    Solution: just renaming or moving the original Kontakt lib folder before resaving makes sure you don't get in trouble.
