Default Toontrack EZKeys2 - GUI freeze

Hello!

I have installed the new EZKeys2 from Toontrack and have problems with it. The plugin loads fine, but as soon as I click on anything in the GUI, the GUI freezes. So I can do nothing inside it.
Funny thing is, even if the GUI is frozen, is still plays sound with my keyboard. I just can´t change any presets or settings.

I have checked for error logs or messages, but nothing to find.

By the way, I also use EZDrummer3, which uses the same kind of GUI, but EZDrummer3 works without any issues.

My specs:
Arch Linux
Reaper 6.79
Wine Staging 8.8
Yabridge 5.0.5

Any tips for me?

EZ Keys 2 GUI freezes too for me. My belief for now is that Wine can't handle it yet.

I have EZ-Keys Piano Essentials, which is essentially EZ-Keys 1 and it works without any issues on Manjaro and WINE 8.6. I used the Wurlitzer from it on my newest song Equinox.

Yes, EZKeys 1 works, EZDrummer 3 works, EZBass works.
Only EZKeys 2 freezes.

Just as info:

Meanwhile EZkeys 2 was updated to verstion 2.0.1, wine-staging was updated to version 8.11 and it still does NOT work. GUI still freezes after loading the plugin.

The latest two plugins I've tried as demo do the same thing as EZkeys2. Klevgrand Tomofon and Tegeler Raummaschine. They do load but the interface is unusable.
I'm reporting to Wine HQ, our voices have to be heard.

Any news on that topic?
Having the same issue here as well.
Using Lenovo Thinkpad T480s with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and:
Reaper 7.07
wine-9.0-rc3 (Staging)
yabridgectl 5.1.0

EZDrummer 3 and EZMix work well, but EZkeys 2 has a frozen GUI. It only updates if I move the window manually. It is possible to work like that but painfully slow.

Are there any options I could try within Reaper or wine to make it work?

Indeed!
Many thanks, it worked!

I had to install vulkan-tools, winetricks and dxvk. No it works nicely.
