Default Waves Problem!

I just updated my waves plugins and since I updated I get a error message everytime I use any waves plugin (see picture below)

Means I can`t open any session with waves anymore..!!

I trashed prefs, fully deleted reinstalled all waves, reinstalled version14 waves, upgraded to latest protools 2024.10.2

still the same problem - I`m kinda out of ideas..

Anyone with the same problem? I contacted waves support too, they couldn`t help me

Last time I had a similar problem with Waves plugins, the best they could do is tell me to disable all but one of my monitors. (I had a triple monitor setup then.) Seriously??? One of about a dozen reasons why there are not, and will not be again, any Waves plugins on my system. NOBODY else’s plugins, and I have a LOT of them, ever created this level of nonsense.

Last time WavesHell worked as advertised was when the plugins could be loaded onto TDM chips.

I'm not sure your opinion is balanced on this. It was worked flawlessly for me over the last few years. Not being able to favourite plugins has been the first issue.

Hey there - if it worked previously with 2024.10.1, could you try to roll back to that version of Pro Tools with Waves V14? Also, Waves may have some things installed deeper into your system. I'm on Windows, so it's different for me - but maybe try an internet search like "fully delete waves plugin on Mac". There may be something left in the system that needs to be deleted. Good luck. I've been lucky, and never really had any problems with Waves. A GUI issue several years ago, but that's it. I don't particularly like paying WUP (I'm cheap) so I've been running V13 for a while, but without any issues.

I had to update everything (all waves) - I didn`t realize that Waves Central only updated a part of it - so basically what i did was deleting everything and then update the misiing ones on the waves site so that all my plugs in Central were latest version.. I don`t get why waves didn`t tell me that but anyway - it works now
