    Please, name a bug. I've been using it a lot, and never had a problem with it.

    I don't have a record what I have all reported, read the changelog? Count the word: fixed, crash, improved, added sicne the cracked version.

    Naah, every software has many "fixed" stuff with each update. Some are critical, some "unfixed" are something you can live with.
    Either way I haven't encountered any issues so far neither - but this deal was a good chance to grab it with nice discount.

    Right now (knowing myself as compulsive buyer) I'm worried about how many expansions will chase the cash out of my wallet :rofl:

    Hello @playtime, how many software synthesizers do you use at the moment?
    How much time do you spend daily with software synthesizers?
    How many seconds or minutes do you spend with a preset?

    I've slimmed down to several soft synths which gives the fastest and best-sounding results to suit my workflow:
    - ReFx Nexus 4 with 120 expansions (actually a rompler, though)
    - Reveal Sound Spire
    - NI Massive
    - Xfer Records Serum

    Depending on workload and type of stuff I do - I usually spend 2-3 hours with synths during one session.

    As far as time for presets - as little as possible. I pick a preset as a starting point and tweak a little to desired result. In my job time is critical so I almost never create new ones from the scratch.

    Indeed, some bugs arent noticibe for some useres since they are DAW or OS specific. eg slow opening GUI, CPU spikes, broken inputs (still offset under macOS StudioOne in the latest version).

    PDC was also broken in one version which is not mentionend in the log :)

    A Search in the changelog for the word "crash" for example gives uns 34 hits.
    Of course that for all version not since the last cracked.

    Besides that the cracked version also miss some new features (eg: Vintage self-resonating filters) and improvements. ...all in the log.

    I don't care about expansions since I rather create my own signature sound.

    Check out the factory waveforms, wavetables, noises they are also a very good starting point

    Plugin Delay Compensation, Avengers Compressor introduce some latency which needs to reported properly to the host, other cast avenger will be off timing and getting untight. i think it is 2.5ms @44.1Hz

    i did tried that myself ,after i bought it i had only the legit factory sounds and i was thinking what if i moved
    the libraries of the k'ed expansions to corrected folder and see what will happen
    and i can see the icons and sounds placed correctly but when i select one it doesnt work
    or fail to load the selected sound

    so i bought the 5 EXps bundle and selected the ones i wanted ,and these expansions did installed in to same
    location as i placed the k'ed expansions ,the legit ones works like a charm but the k'ed ones doesnt
    (they still does work though on the outdated k'ed version of avenger from past years which is still work offline nicely

    my suggestions is to use the k'ed ones until new version released ,im sure i read somewhere team R2R witches
    did mentioned they have all exps and planned to update Avenger but didnt release it for some reason
    (but they did mention something about avenger code/update i cant remember what it was

    and since i love avenger so much i thought i would give it a shot after seeing this thread with good half the price offer yesterday
    and bought it (and the 5 exps bundle ) , and i will wait til next black friday to get the next bundles (10 exps including 2 free ones)
    and i ll delete the k'ed ones since i have the legit exps now , good luck

    @playtime hey man ,can you please explain whats the difference between nexus 3 and nexus 4 ?

    i saw video where the guy says we should wait since there are not many big changes
    (i only noticed the colored buttons looked better in version 4 )
    is there other new features ?

    Well I've upgraded from Nexus 3 to 4 right away. It does have some nice features over version 3 like separating presets to layers, new FX modules, new arpeggiator etc... HERE is the changelog since version 4.0.0

    Nothing you can't live without except new expansions are Nexus 4 compatible only :snuffy:

    Getting back to VPS Avenger.

    Ok, so where is all the data stored?

    I want to do a complete backup of the cracked one before installing the legit version.

    Or, is it possible to keep both versions?

    It is not a good idea to have two versions of the same plugin on one hard disk.
    Conflicts of interest are then mostly pre-programmed.

    1.) C:\ProgramData\Vengeance

    2.) C:\VPS Avenger Library

    3.) C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
    VPS Avenger_x64.vst3

    4.) C:\Program Files\Vstplugins\Vengeance - Avenger VSTi\VSTPlugins

    At least I want to do a backup of the cracked one, just in case.

    As I'm not sure that presets created with the last version will work with the last cracked version, so if I want to share my presets, last version may be a problem.
    Well, we could do a test, before I install legit version, one of you who's using the new legit one could send me test preset, just to cheek if it works.

    If you made presets with the cracked version, it depends if you made the presets with the factory library. They will work then too.
    If you made presets with the expansion of the sound designer, they will not work with the new version. Avenger will load your presets, but it will then lock the WAV file. That means the oscillator will be muted. See picture.

    I have uploaded you a file from the v1.8.2:
