    yes!!! it seems to have worked out!:wink:

    Closing Fl studio

    v1 One Click version

    We make a bat. auto_addfwrs.bat


    1) auto_addfwrs.bat is placed where our plugin is located C:\Program Files\Vst Plugins\ NEXUS 3 run as administrator, a window opens and we agree to everything by pressing the ENTER button

    2) Then fe copy the auto_addfwrs.bat and put it in the root where FL STUDIO is located C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 20 and there we also run as administrator. He will scan everything there, we agree to everything with the ENTER button.
    Then we launch FL Studio.

    Hello, I have the final solution

    First of all I apologize, since I don't speak English (I speak Spanish). What you will read next was originally written in Spanish and later translated into English.

    The problem is related to Nexus trying to connect to the internet, surely this was done by the company that created the vsti to avoid piracy.
    There are 2 solutions, one easier and one a bit more complex but not that difficult.

    The first solution is to keep your internet connection off every time you start your DAW and go to use Nexus.

    The second solution is to make a change to the Nexus default settings. I'll explain why you have to do this.
    If we open Nexus and go to "SYSTEM" / "PREFERENCES" we can see that there is an option called "CLOUD SYNC", this option by default appears in "YES", however I noticed that when it was turned off the problem disappeared.
    I tried to test changing this option manually from the Vsti, however, the "CLOUD SYNC" option was automatically activated again.

    To keep the "CLOUD SYNC" option disabled, do the following:

    - Go to: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\reFX\nexus\113fc41dd08dcd4de1b883bdb6fa5552"

    - Find the "preferences.json" file

    - Right click on the file, go to properties and uncheck the "read only" box

    - We open the file and edit the following:

    {

    "cloud": {
    "sync": true

    - Change "true" to "false"

    - We save the changes, and re-enable the "read only" box.

    I have tried this method today and have had no problems.


    I hope I've helped

    Oh yes, i've tried this solution before, though i didn't know about some of the steps you took there, whic is why it didn't work on my case, i'm sure this will prove useful for more people who encounter this issue though, thanks for sharing!

    Create a rule and add these IPs. Usually it appears clearly but maybe you have something blocked in Firewall (some distributions of Nexus have a includer blocker cmd file)

    I apologize if someone else has already answered this question already.
    When I tried to load Nexus 2.2 it did a scan, found 2 nexus volumes but chose the path for Nexus 3 instead of the separate Nexus content folder for Nexus 2.2.
    Is there a way to manually set the path of the Nexus 2.2 content (not Nexus 3) so it can load older presets?

    I think you need to install N2 first and then N3.

    Thanks for the feedback. I could also give that a try. But it would be very neat if there was a way to manually set the path for the Nexus 2 content. (just like you had to do when installing Nexus 3)

    is there a list or sonmething out there, which Mac OS and Hardware (M1 or not) is supported. I'm currently running an Intel Mac/Big Sur and it's working like a charm. But it's really about time for me to upgrade both, soft- and hardware.

    Here are over 30,000 presets for Nexus 2.2 (the cracked version), you will need all the expansions that were cracked with it, I think, to make all of these work: (see the Google Drive link in the video)

    Tried to use these in version 3 via the unblocking the 147.75.71.186 and still getting Nexus 3 cannot connect to the cloud service.

    Any Idea. They work in Nexus version 2.

    Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how to get Nexus 2 presets working with Nexus 3? My Nexus 2 presets both show up and load in Nexus 3 with no problem, yet I get no sound when trying to play any Nexus 2 presets. I have the 170 GB Nexus 3 content folder downloaded and the Nexus 3 presets all work with sound. The only thing I can think of is that I need the sound banks for Nexus 2 to get the presets working in 3, but I figured they would of been included or built upon with Nexus 3.

    I feel like I might be missing something and 83 pages is a lot to scour through.

    Thanks in advance.

    When I first downloaded the Nexus 3 crack the Nexus 2 presets I linked to above all worked fine, as I double clicked each preset Nexus 3 had to 'connect to the cloud' and then 'translate' the preset (presumably), but a few months ago that suddenly stopped working for me, so I have just used Nexus 2 separately from Nexus 3 (I am using FL Studio and it just sees them as two different VSTs, I'm not sure if this happening for everybody else.) The 30,000 presets you will find in the link on the Youtube video above are much more varied than the Nexus 3 expansions, i.e. there are loads of sounds which I have never heard anything like from any other VST before, probably not because they're impossible to make with other VSTs, but just because whoever made them thought outside the box. I would rather have Nexus 2.2 and the few (15 or so?) expansions that were cracked for it, with those 30,000 presets, than Nexus 3 with all the official expansions, but that's just my personal opinion.

    So apparently it used to work, hmm. Come to think of it, I believe I had my Nexus 2 presets working for 3 back when it first was released. I wonder what is going on?

    I just did a fresh install and I was trying to not have to re-install Nexus 2 to save a bit of space, albiet it's not the largest VSTi. Not to mention I hate bridging 32 bit plugins as they always end up having performance issues in one form or another. It would be much more productive to have all of the Nexus presets working in 3, but alas if it can't be done I guess I will have no choice. I will wait around and see what input others have before re-installing Nexus 2.
