Thanks for clearing that up - I don't use Cubase, but misinterpreted the lack of "support" as "won't load".

Eventually as every one predicts the further we go into this VST3 VST2 will faze out but the hope is by then VST3 will be as stable as VST2 as of now VST3 is not a done deal
As developers with host and players start to implement VST3 we are finding a few issues with stability
but i think all anyone wants to do is just open their work station and just use it with out worries.
Some have nailed it, especially in the FX world but i think others are playing catch up the good thing is installations still come with VST2 and VST3

Anyone know the current ui_control limit for each type? Is it still 256?

It's 999 since Kontakt 6.5. It's been 512 since 5.8.0, and before that it was 256 all the way back to Kontakt 4.2, before which it was 96.

I didn't update from 2019 to 2022 April. Not Logic either.
Everything was smooth. Now I had to update with new M1, and, of course, all is crashing and same shit with bugs here and there. Mostly Logic, not sure about Kontakt.

Is your computer's operating system up to date? Maybe 6.7.1 doesn't show up in Native Access if it is running on a computer that can't use it.
You can try hitting the refresh button, but I can't see that making any difference if it didn't show up when you initiated Native Access.

Interesting. I am actually on Windows 8.1 Pro which may not be supported. Is it possible that the previous update worked on my version but this one does not?

It's possible, although it would be surprising. I've only read about this potentially being an issue and haven't encountered it directly myself.
It would be less surprising with a Mac, of course.

Parallel compression is unparalleled
AFAIK Win 10 or 11 is required to install. However, it's possible to install on a Win 10 machine and transfer the relevant files to your 8.1 machine. I did this for my Win 7 system and Kontakt 6.7.1 is running fine.
If you read earlier in this thread, there's a post describing what needs to be done. Good luck!
EDIT: Here's a thread specifically about this topic, including detailed instructions:

Has anyone with my specs update to 6.7.1 ?

I'm on 10.15.7 and 6.7.1 (MacBook though). It's been solid for me.... One thing you might do before installing 6.7.1 (if you don't clone as a backup - which you should always run before updating something mission critical like Kontakt), is copy all of your Kontkat VST/AU plugins, as well as the standalone app, and paste them to a folder on your desktop.... If you did experience any quirks pasting them back in and overwriting the 6.7.1 versions should put you back at 6.6.1.
Also you can backup Kontakt installers if you manage to quickly copy the pkg file that the DMG file mounts as soon as NA starts to run the install process, then paste it anywhere. You have to be fairly quick, but I've managed to keep backup installers of most versions of Kontakt 5.8 through 6... This obviously only works moving forward, and doesn't do anything for you regarding 6.6.1, but if 6.7.1 winds up being stable for you, you now have an installer that works if a future update gave you grief... I've done a reinstall once or twice from one of these pkgs in the past and never had an issue.
The way to do it is to open a new window right before you start the update process, once the installer finishes downloading it will run itself, *this* is when the DMG mounts itself and you need to copy and past the installer to a folder or your desktop, before the installer completes. (If you try and copy/paste it before the DMG mounts itself you'll wind up with an incomplete installer...) It's a little bit of a dance, but unfortunately this seems to be the only recourse in macos.

This is a very good advice for anyone, It is a small issue but can really save a lot of headache,
Of course the issue is you need two good quality SSD for local Disk C: if your on Windows,
you will will find your system is running rock solid until you get the push to update then it is possible for things to fall apart, this can be your OS or any music software eg DAW updates, plugins, and samplers players and host.
It is very difficult to keep up with what is being changed in your OS update or host, sample player, DAW and it is quite difficult for developers to nail every bug when keeping up with OS updates sometimes making a system crash inevitable.
Your first good quality SSD should already be used in your machine, your Second good quality SSD should be your stand by for a direct copy or clone, I find EZ gig cloning software very good for this,
So if you want to try out an update, first copy your existing SSD C drive and have on stand by then run through your updates and stress test it, if you run into issues just swap your SSD out for your copy and continue your project from where you left off, this is far better than trying to find your way out of crash city.
You may find that i stressed good quality SSD as i have found cheap ones can get bad clusters and that can contribute to your problems
This may be a little OTT but if you value you project this practice is a get out of jail card guarantee
Cloning a drive is very quick around 20 min to 45 min so its worth putting this in practice, it saves time and saves confusing post, as every one will not have the same issue

Damn. Missed this.
I did a routine update of Kontact today, and now it won't work standalone or in my daw (studio one)
I zipped the crashlog and sent it to @doctoremmet
Other than that, I don't know what to do :(
Native Instruments support frankly sucks. It's nearly impossible to message them about ANYTHING.
I hope that this is not the end. Multiple 5 figures $$ invested in this all to be haulted and shot down like this.
FML!!
Can somebody help?

You might have meant to send the crash log to Evil Dragon.
You could try restoring your system to an earlier point; or see if there are historical versions of Kontakt (or whatever it was that updated) available for download.
I'm sorry this happened to you.

I also sent to evil dragon yes.
Honestly not sure how to look for previous versions available...
Is that on my computer, or do I have to search the internet for them?
This is really REALLY not good

I think doing a system restore to your last restore point might be a good first step.
