    Hello forum, I want to use helix native as my go to vst but I find an issue. I use reaper and when I load the vst it takes 10/11 seconds to load, and when you close the GUI tab and return it takes 5 seconds. Th-u loads in milliseconds. I have the following PC specs
    Ryzen 5 1600 AF, 16 gb Ram (3200mhz) and a SSD drive for vst. I don't know if my PC it's capable to run a simply GUI vst. In YouTube videos I saw that it loads in one second. And I forget to mention that it was the same with every helix native version, from 1.50 to 3.00. I hope you can help me.

    Hello!
    The same thing happens to me, when before it opened in less than 1 second, I'm going to try doing a downgrade and edit the post.
    and I can tell you that since the last versions that I have this problem, it opens in 6sec and closes in 2sec

    edit: I forgot to mention that I use version : 3.15

    thanks beat but it not work, i use reaper and notice something that can be a clue. when you load a plugin in reaper you can turn off the UI and make it simpler as a reaper native plugin. Helix works very well deactivating the IU, i think that the problem is with the user interface

    I've too experienced this with the V.R. version, whereas R2R version works fast & great (also make sure you patch your hosts file for line6.com domain).

    About the same here.

    Interesting approach. Helix starts here always with Factory1 preset 01A. I just removed all the modules and saved it (Save to Library). Problem solved.

    Not necessary here. I blocked my DAW in the firewall rules. So far, no problems.

    I've been facing the same issue for a while. IIRC the last version which loaded without any lag was v1.70. Every version since v1.80 takes quite a long time to load. And as others have noted, it doesn't seem to be an issue with just the k'd plugin either. I was running a trial on the legit version and it had the exact same load time as the k'd version.

    I know this is not ideal, but I had no problems even without blocking the DAW in firewall or using the hosts patch.
