    Welp, I had Kontakt working just fine. Kontakt 7.10 Hciso from the sister site was my cup of tea. Cruising right along. No issues. Then yesterday I decided to take Kontakt 8 for a little spin. Needless to say, I'm here asking for help because nothing seems to work the same anymore. Now my Kontakt 7 works but it's basically more or less all black until I drop a an nki on the browser. Then my libraries show up, but I can't see the headers for saving instruments, etc. Also the gui has shrunk to the smallest smallest iteration. Help please. Thanks.

    That's what happens when you walk first at war front. Bullets can cross you easily! :suicide:

    Just clean up your system from kontakt, and reinstall the last version that works

    You are not wrong. However, I did all that and it's still an issue. What's strange is I can put my cursor over the black parts and the information shows up at the bottom letting me know it's over an actionable command. For example, file, save, open, etc. However, no amount of clicking makes anything happen beyond a. if i click on the "store"- it takes me to NI. I somehow don't ever recall that being there before. But whatever. Or if I click near the Kontakt it will alternate between mostly black screen and the much more useful Library view so I can at least see my libraries once I actually drag and drop an nki onto the window. But I cannot save anything. Ugh. Thanks.

    I uninstalled everything using an app cleaner and i went in and trashed preferences, etc. But nothing seems to help after reinstallation. Idk man. I am kind of miffed.

    Use an app called: "Find any file" FAF, it is in sanet. To clean hidden files too

    Also check your drive permissions. I have 8 installed on M1 with Sonoma and didn't have that issue. I have 7.10.6

    In general, when some VSTs and plugins release a new version, they come with some bugs and issues
    We should keep this in mind : macOS sonoma 14.6 to 14.7 is not good for music production why ? i don't know.
    Just i know, in my experience , sonoma 14.6 14.6.1 and 14.7 is not compatible with some vsts and plugins and also for my legit cubase pro 13
    But intersting macOS 15 is working better than sonoma ...

    I'm starting to wonder if it's because of an opencore update.
