Hi folks,

All is in the title. I'm on FL Studio, I own the plugin. At the time I don't have any cracked Waves product.

I got this message again and again :

"there was a problem opening plugin WaveShell1-VST3 16.7_X64 blabla..."

Nothing new with shitty Waves waveshell.

But this time I'm stuck. Other VSTs stemming from the same Waveshell all work flawlessly except this one.
I've tried offline install, online install, repair function and clear all waves product function in the manager.
I've tried suppressing all non vst3 stuff also.

Any idea ?

Thanks

 

Hello @scoldt , delete Waves completely:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves
C:\Users\Public\Waves Audio
C:\ProgramData\Waves Audio

(Hidden Folder)
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Waves Audio
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Waves Audio

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
WaveShell1-VST3 15.0_x64.vst3
WaveShell1-VST3 15.2_x64.vst3
WaveShell2-VST3 15.0_x64.vst3
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\WPAPI

Scan your hard drive with the term: WaveShell and delete them.
Go to the Registry --> Run --> Regedit and delete the following folder:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Waves

Install:

Waves Complete v2025.08.20 Patched and Keygen Only-R2R
Team R2R | 2025.08.22 | 4.6 MB
or
Waves Complete v2024.06.24 WIN MAC Patched and Keygen Only-RET
Team RET | 27 Jun 2024 | 4.4MB

 

You think that their clear all doesn't clean this ?
I'll try again and see if something remains in the paths you gave.

I did consider installing this R2R version, I had already downloaded Waves offline installer to do so.
But even if I install most of R2R stuff without fear, this keygen in particular has a very high detection number on VirusTotal, something like 40 detections on 80... A little scary ^^

 

The sister site is safe!!!

 

.... I've never been really sure about what the sister site is...
If you mean AZ, it is where the R2R waves stuff comes from.

 

But I'd rather make this Curves Resolve thing work than cracking all the rest. I wanted to try it as I have it (they gave it away a while ago).
I'm not as interested in it as that... Except if it is exceptionally efficient lol.

The fact that all other Waves plugins that are contained in the same Waveshell bothers me. Or gets on my nerves maybe.

Really no one ?
