Re: HALion 6.2.10, HALion Sonic 3.2.10 and HALion Sonic SE 3.2.15 Maintenance Update
Hello, Frank,
thank you so much for the new HALion update and also for the announcement! However, on my system (Windows 10 x64, nVidia GTX 950) there is something wrong with the library icons in HALion 6.2.10. Now my library selection window looks like this:
As you can see, most icons are completely invisible and the few visible ones became oddly scaled. I have tested all flavours of HALion (standalone, plugin, VST2 and VST3 version) and this UI glitch is always there. I suspect that the recent HiDPI related changes are responsible for this problem. Can I do anything to overcome it?
I should mention that I do not have a HiDPI monitor.
Best regards

All of my personal content is gone from the library after the update. Now only the default libraries are shown.

Re: HALion 6.2.10, HALion Sonic 3.2.10 and HALion Sonic SE 3.2.15 Maintenance Update
I sort of figured it out. It's looking to a file location I was using way back in the H4 days. Is there some kind of preference or configuration migration being done by the installer? I'm basically having to repoint every single library.

I had some "duplicates" like this also. I do think that through the iterations of Halion, the libraries were getting installed in different locations. I had some in the user\appdata folder and some in the program data\Steinberg\vstsound folder.
I used the library manager to move ALL the libraries to the program data folder because that is where the newest installer was putting them. It has not been causing problems.

These are my libraries, not the stock ones. So far I can't delete the wrong entries. Probably because it can't find that location.jaslan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:24 amI had some "duplicates" like this also.

Application Only Installer
With the HALion_6.1.15 update Steinerg provided an Application Only Installer, without the large Content. Could you please do the same for the 6.2 update?

Re: Application Only Installer
According to the installation guide you don't need to download the content if you're updating from Halion 6.1.15.Fantacyzer wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 8:01 pmWith the HALion_6.1.15 update Steinerg provided an Application Only Installer, without the large Content.

Re: Application Only Installer
Are you assuming this, by reason of it not being explicitly mentioned under 'Update HALion from HALion 6.1.5'..?misohoza wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 8:13 pmAccording to the installation guide you don't need to download the content if you're updating from Halion 6.1.15.Fantacyzer wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 8:01 pmWith the HALion_6.1.15 update Steinerg provided an Application Only Installer, without the large Content.

Here's what I see:-
Update HALion from HALion 6.1.15:
• Download and open the HALion 6 – 6.2.10 (or higher) <--- this is the latest app update
Update HALion from HALion 6.1 (or lower):
• Download and open the HALion 6 – 6.2.10 (or higher)
• Download and open the Content Update from HALion 6.0.x - 6.1 <--- listed in the SDA as a 292 MB download
No mention anywhere specifically about 'Content HALion 6.2' - which is what is listed in the SDA as a 30 GB download. What's it got, do I need it, does it update existing content, etc, etc...

Where do I find which version I have installed? The Get Info on my Mac tells me it's HALion 6, version 2.5.10.35. How do I map that to a 6.x.x version?

I think that is the Standalone version number. Open the program and click on the "Steinberg" symbol and select "About" it should show you the base version and the standalone version there at the bottom.
