- Note: Instability with certain Cakewalk plugins after recent Windows 10 updates - 9 December 2016
Note: Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3201845) appears to resolve the issue stated below. Make sure to check your Windows 10 updates, if you are having issues. It has come to our attention that a recent Windows 10 update has introduced instability in a subset of our plug-ins and may cause SONAR or other Windows DAWs to crash. The problem is related to a change in the timing for thread initialization on Windows, which leads to intermittent crashing on project load, plug-in scanning, or adding these plug-ins to a project. We are able to reproduce the issue and it appears to only affect some systems since it is timing related. We are actively working on a resolution and will release fixes to the affected plugins as soon as possible. Plug-ins that may be affected: CA-2A Rapture Pro Rapture Session Z3TA+2 We appreciate your patience while we work to res…

- Z3TA+2 STEAM Update - 28 July 2015

They have been removed from these subfolders and now just live in their respective 'Z3TA+2' folder. STEAM install script cleanup. x86 users will now only have the native x86 version.
