lawajava Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It’s probably just my machine. I have some support requests in to NI (and they have been responding back which is nice). It takes an abnormally long time for me to load Kontakt 7. Didn’t happen before. Kontakt 6 opens instantly. Again, maybe something particular to my machine and not a general problem for others. It does cause me consternation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I know that the new version of Native Access SUCKS! It's EXTREMELY slow loading and I now have to sign in EVERY SINGLE TIME! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have posted about the loooong load times for Kontak7, but not nearly as many as I would have expected, so there are at least some of us. Kontakt 7 (empty) takes at least 25 seconds to load for me, regardless of DAW. Kontakt 6 loads in less than 2 seconds. Subsequent loads of 7 after the first one are fast, so it must have something to do with the file parsing that doesn't happen from cache. I followed some suggested changes like clearing out some XML files and excepting Kontakt folders from AV scans, but no improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's possible that it has something to do with windows defender - seems to spend a lot of time scanning when loading up and I see a lot of defender CPU usage. And yes, always quicker on 2nd load (like v6) - again because defender has already scanned (I think) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawajava Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Windows Defender - I’ll look at that. Hadn’t checked that yet. Looked at it. Nope. Already off in my case. Edited June 20, 2023 by lawajava Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point they won't have to bother updating because the previous release will still be trying to load.

Brian Lawler Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) I couldn't get the 7.4 Kontakt update to show. I was on 7.2 I think. Turns out I had to install a new version of Native Access, which revealed four other updates that weren't there before. You would think it would know if itself needed to be updated? Maybe this will fix the slow load issues.... Not hopeful based on how slow the installer is. <edit> It is somewhat faster loading now. 14 seconds (Windows 10). After a reboot and disabling Microsoft AV and Malwarebytes the load time was 9 seconds, so there is about 30% of the load time attributable to the safeguards. K6 is still nearly instant with all the protections on though. Edited June 20, 2023 by Brian Lawler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
