asprog Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 3.0.0 - 2022-10-27 We’ve finally completed work on a large tech overhaul! The goal was to improve the overall performance of our searching, filtering, browsing, startup, and management mechanics, alongside how we handle and access data. We’re excited to see all of this out in the wild, and see how much of an effect this will have on our app’s overall performance. But of course, alongside this we’re releasing some goodies, such as Install All for the subscription page, browsing Effects by subcategories, and browsing products by their vendor. Additionally we cleaned up whatever mess we found in the process, such as sluggish modal and search behavior, some content, and tons of minor UI updates, to name a few. We’re also excited to share a few next steps. Following the release of Komplete 14 many users experienced incredibly sluggish startup performance, caused by high traffic to some of our services. To mitigate a few issues we were able to identify, we’ll be committing to one more small but impactful startup adjustment before committing to a feature you’ve all been waiting for (and is long overdue): automatic uninstall. We’ll begin by releasing this for Native Instruments content products only, so we can establish a foundation, and iteratively release uninstall for the remaining products. We hope to get the first iteration out by the end of the year, but otherwise we’ll release it early next year. FIXED Fixed download manager layout issues and performance Addressed an issue where the refresh button takes a long time to trigger Addressed some API handling issues that results in performance degradation Windows: some strings were being cut off ADDED / IMPROVED Adjusted some text strings Various UI improvements in the List View UI improvements to the grid view UI improvements to the Locate dialog UI improvements to text, links, and images UI improvements to the download manager Refactored and improved the UI of our drop down menu component Subscription Page now sorts products by their product state, then alphabetically Removed redundant number of products in the subscription header for subscriptions with one product Added Install All to the subscription page Adjusted the way we handle authenticating API calls Adjusted some calls to execute in tandem with each other to improve startup times slightly Improved our diagnostics around app startup so we can identify future bottlenecks for sluggish startup times Refactored our state handling mechanisms Refactored components throughout the application to improve performance in compliance with our updated state mechanism Introduced reactive events to handle changes to app state on the fly Fixed up and refactored our tests to accommodate the new state mechanism Improved our testing systems Adjusted how we trigger install all and update all Adjusted out mechanism for storing "newly available/new" products state Effects can now be browsed by subcategories Users can now find products by specific vendors Update empty filter results message for empty search queries Refactored our filtering and search mechanisms for improved performance Adjusted how we handle our texts to improve performance Improved the way we handle modals to improve performance All toasts are now dismissable 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcL Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Nothing really impressing! Install on different PCs is boring as always! Still the big online bottleneck as it has ever been! For me this is no progress at all! It's "modern" dumb processing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Blanc Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 *insert Simpsons "say the line" meme. Download and install the update to our installer to download and install updates to our software, including our installer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to manually download the upgrade? Edit: nope. My available downloads only show Native-Access_2: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/downloads/ Edit2: No, wait. I had to leave NA up for a few minutes then a notice popped up to say it would update upon exit. Edited October 29, 2022 by fret_man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Strange... I seem to be at 1.14 and not getting any updates shown available? Logging into my account online only shows a v2 that I can (will) install Ha! Downloading and installing gave me v 3.01! So only the info page is in need of updating?

marcL Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Well, how I love installer monoliths like Native Access! 😆 Just now I discovered that it had deleted some of the manuals with some updates (Absynth5, Battery4, FM8, Solid*, ...)! 😡 Is this user friendly deleting the manuals without user notification? I am 100% sure that once the manuals were there, because there are still file links that I had created! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an installation tool that I only run when I want something installed (or to check if something is installed), I don't understand the advantages of upgrading. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a while to find it but here's the direct download link from NI site.Native Access v1.14.1 Here's the webpage if you're running a MACNative Access 1 Legacy Installers for Older Operating Systems To me, the extra features of 3.x aren't worth it if it takes the app over 3 minutes to load.

Some will install those digi ones, 32 and 64 bit, I only do vst3 these days to limit confusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudopop Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 v3 is slow for me, too. It doesn't take minutes to start but much longer than v1. I had an interesting experience trying to install Audio Imperia's Solo last week. Luckily it's only about 84 GB but it took a few tries. Somehow the download was corrupted (apparantely there are no integrity checks) and Native Access got stuck during the installation. There was no error message but I realized what the problem was when I tried to run the installer manually. I had to delete the downloaded .iso file before Native Access allowed me to redownload it. Otherwise it would just continue with the installation, and I couldn't find a way to abort it. I wish NI would give us direct links to the installation files. Installing would be much easier and I could archive the files so I wouldn't have to download them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By default it dumps them in your Downloads folder. I always set it to my archive location... It didn't use to delete them after installs, but may now.
