Maybe try and double check on the firewall if it's actually blocked, i checked that and apparently only the folder was blocked off and not the exe itself..
As for the dll, what I did was use this little .bat file i found online (one-click version), following these steps i found on this old reddit post:

• Download this bat file
  
  
• Put it in your VSTPlugins folder of where your DLL files are
  
  
• Rename the file from .bat.txt to .bat
  
  
• Right click > Run as admin
  
  
• Bat file will automatically create a new firewall rule for every file in the folder (& sub folders)

A cool program , everyone sees who is asking for the Internet. Fl studio blocked .That's just not visible that the nexus is asking for there.

 

If either of those solutions don't work then i'm not too sure... I'd say just keep tinkering with different programs to block off FL studio completely from the internet and see if that does any good... Or also try and search around a way on google to block off plugins from accessing the internet

 

I tried to create auto_addfwrs.bat. Placed it where the plugin is located Nexus3.4.4.dll and regkey.dat. C:\Program Files\Vst Plugins\NEXUS 3 and launched auto_addfwrs.bat there as administrator. He picked up everything there especially dll. Then I restarted FL STUDIO and it seems to be working. Still checking)

 

No! It didn't help, the hang appeared in the notes. I'll try to throw auto_addfwrs.bat to where Fl Studio itself is located C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 20 and run it there.

 

Ooh.. Any success with that so far?

 

yes!!! it seems to have worked out!

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

 

That's great! Glad to see it worked out for you, cheers!

 

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!

 

Thanks! I hope that you will succeed!)
The main thing is that we solved the problem.)

 

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)

 

i cant get nexus 3 to work is it still legit?

 

Please some more information, which version do you want to install ? Where is the problem. Which DAW operating system etc. ?

 

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.

 

Mac minimum system requirements

• AudioUnit, VST, VST3 or AAX host software
• Apple Silicon M1 or Intel 2.0 GHz processor
• 8GB of RAM (16GB or more highly recommended)
• Display with 1024-by-768 or higher resolution
• macOS 10.13 and later including macOS Monterey
• Internet connection to download license
• 64-bit only
