I've tried so many things and this piece of shit synth still won't work.
I'm on Windows 11, using the R2R crack.
I've tried giving everyone the folder ownership. I've tried unchecking read-only but it resets every single time I open properties.
Funny thing is that in diagnostics Omni has a Steam directory, but the address is fucked: Says the address is C:\ProgramData/SpectraSonics/STEAM, not C:\ProgramData\SpectraSonics\STEAM. This might be the problem but idk if it is or how to fix it.

 

Step back, take a breath, come back next day after frustration has lifted.

Have you read through other threads for possible solution?
What is your OS version?
Are you using the default location for the STEAM folder or, have you moved it & created a shortcut/SimLink?

Maybe you just forgot what operating system you are using. It's very likely your / (like Mac and Linux) should really be \ (Windows)

I'm not on Windows but here is AI directions:

Spoiler

Step 1: Open Registry Editor

1. Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
   
   
2. Navigate to:
   
   
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SpectraSonics
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SpectraSonics

Step 2: Locate the STEAM path key

• Look for a value named something like STEAMFolder.
  
  
• It might currently be:
  
  
  C:\ProgramData\SpectraSonics/STEAM

Step 3: Correct the path

1. Double-click the STEAMFolder value.
   
   
2. Replace the forward slash / with a backslash \ so it reads:
   
   
   C:\ProgramData\SpectraSonics\STEAM
   
   
3. Click OK to save.

Important: Use backslashes (\) for Windows paths. Forward slashes (/) can break the library reference.

Step 4: Repeat for HKLM

• Make the same change in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SpectraSonics if there’s a STEAMFolder value there.

Step 5: Restart OmniSphere

1. Close your DAW completely.
   
   
2. Reopen OmniSphere.
   
   
3. Go to Utility → Repair Library to make it rescan the folder if needed.
