It's your choice, we can understand it's not your cup of tea.
Perhaps something have remain (from previous installs). I can't understand because they're working fine for me, all VST3 for 22 audio effects, all VSTi (VST 2.4) for all 29 instruments.

 

hopefully RET can put out better working versions of some problematic releases that VR does the way R2R used to do, then we can have a choice and the R2R releases also occasionally had more or expanded features added in. I'm not sure if VR team had personnel changes but they seemed more reliable in the past, now have we wait to see if there are rev2 or rev 3 versions of their newer releases before getting them, they are still quite good for most releases and we should be thankful for all their releases.

What about the MORIA Collection versons?

I find that V.R often includes a lot of presets, whereas R2R usually stick with the default or factory library in VSTi releases.
I can't recall if they have ever released 3rd party presets separately.. (?)
Of course they have release lots of huge Libraries as separate downloads as well.

 

I installed that vocoder thing from vr and ALL my Arturia vsts disappeared from the computer.
Vr is good for letiing you know that soon RET or R2R will be cracking it.

 

Just reading the comments and was thinking the same.
V Collection 8 from MORIA works excellent even if I had many doubts... I don't know why no one mention that man anywhere....
After installation of all wish plugins, just uninstall Arturia Software Center and do manual patch ...
All is fine with the very first versions from MORIA...
Better and more secure than V.R version. it uses legit installers, does not mess up with the files and install at random places and often Team VR know to do that because of bad file organization....
