Windows 10 18(09) - er, really ok?
Current hw: Dell xps desktop, 16gb ram, sata ssd, i7-7700, RME FF400 with newest driver
OS, Reap: Win 1709 w/all the available updates works great, Reaper x64 5.973
Win 1809 feature update first attempt - ugly.
I know os upgrading often breaks things. Most often it seems to nuke the registration/activation status of some of my plugins. But yesterday I figured I'd give my super solid Win 10 x64 1709 a feature update to 1809, and holy cow, all kinds of stuff got weird in my Reaper x64 5.973.
1809: old warhorse B4II refuses to launch in any way (though I figured this would happen at some point since NI said it shouldn't work for a long time now), but it still worked great in 1709. Same problem standalone or vst. Automatic bridging still enabled in Reaper as far as I can see. As I suspected, several plugins lost their activated status. But most importantly, several of my Reaper files on playback crawled to a messy, cpu crunched near-halt after about 10 seconds of playback. Could be plugin related, maybe not. Should've checked playback with them all disabled.
But since everything is magically awesome in 1709, i used Macrium to roll the whole puppy back. All working 100% again.
Since I've long since merged all my pc sw to a single gloriously fully functional pc, rebuilding the whole thing ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
Any 1803/09 users who upgraded from 1709 have any tips on 180x? (Besides the obvious 'why is your DAW on your general purpose everything pc', though I suspect I would still have the same problems)
Thanks reaperites. : )
