Slate Digital VBC VST3 bug

Does this Slate bug still exist in WL 8.5? I don’t care for Slate much as far as their business practice goes. I own the VBC and use it now and then in other apps, it sounds great for certain things, but I haven’t used it much because of this possibly big Wavelab bug.

Slate seems extremely slow to update anything and it seems like they have too much other stuff going on to address this issue.

What exactly was the main problem again? Do files render without Slate all together? or just some plugins and just some settings? Is it just related to rendering before saving the montage? Is VST-2 ok to use for now?
