    Can you finally trust MORiA?
    Why don't you download it and test it and get back to us? :wtf:

    edit: I just checked and it's an Easy Installer for the expansions for macoS and it's 17.8MB!
    Not what you said.
    Fake news! lol

    Is it?

    Looks to me it's a simple installer with the existing installation.

    So RefX holds the all powerful technology called: Nexus 3 Expansion Maker. With it they and their content creators can create new instruments and expansions. They begin their stupid manual with bragging about 64 oscillators. As soon as I read it I wanted to create a new instrument with unique layers using 64 oscillators, but.. Of course they must not include this key Nexus 3 feature - the main part of the software - the actual f*in EDITOR into the product, because then their product would be forgotten, since no freakin body would buy their stupid expansions anymore.. People would create their own amazing expansions!

    here https://refx.com/nexus/manual

    yeah i wanted to take a look at the layer page, but its so limited :/
    what we could all do when we could create our sound sin N3, this would acutal after taking a look it, buy it, but in the current state its not worth it to buy it.

    but this was right from the start back in 2007 clear, that they want to cash in on the expansions. and other companies followed and its a good concept.

    Here no one is questioning the work of any cracker, I only found out if Moria saw what was inside it is dll since many are paranoid about this a launch since it was not r2r :yes::no:

    Hey! Sometimes when I load Nexus, it takes a time to show my everything (I mean, the expansions/presets). It appears later in, but I wondering, somebody else is having this same "issue"?? (It doesn't a real issue, it's just that if I could make it load faster it would be better for workflow)

    which dll? MORIA is MacOS, what are you talking about?

    you test the plugin, run virustotal, well brings up nothing, since on windows the the plugin itself is obfuscated, means its protected.

    next step is to block outgoing connection, means if its a trojan or something, it will connect to something to download something or install something? @Roboto has done that it drops a registry entry on windows, but thats only for for the WInLic protection layer, thats probably to just secure the plugin from reverse engineering.

    Blocking the ip adresses, a lot of us, check to which ips the plugin/N3 connects and blocked them, thats all you can do. Here it compared to the legit unpatched N3 plugin and we found it one ip is put in there by the reverse of this release, block that and you are fine.

    yeah and then it was tried around with changing dates on offline machines to try and check if the plugin always works w/o connecting to the internet and yes it does, even in 2099 and in 1999. So what else?

    it tries to cloud sync, turn this off and its faster.
    Also it tries to connect to the normal reFX server for checking the license info. if this is blocked it will check on the offline saved license.

    So when it comes to blocking the IP addresses, it looks like "Little Snitch" is a paid application. I also cannot seem to block IP addresses via my router settings because my service provider doesn't give me very many options to do so.

    Do you guys know of another way for Mac users to block the addresses?

    Search for keywords 'hosts file' in this thread.
    But really if you are running any warez on macOS you should be using Little Snitch still...
