Hello,
i face the same problem as the users mentioned above. After upgrading to VEP6 the load process stopped after 29 % and i have to kill the processes. When i downgrade to VEP5 everything is working as expected!
I used some standard demo projects from VSL for test which should work but didn't so as 'Schocker - Views from Falls House - Festivity - MozartSaal 3rd row'. Another project is working manually like 'John Williams - Battle of the Heroes'. I started the host project (Cubase 8.5) first and then the VEP6 Server (loading project at host) and select the server instance manually to establish connection between client and host.
System: 8-Core 32 GB Client Win10 Pro
System: 4-Core 8 GB Host Win10 Pro Cubase 8.5
Best regards
Werner
