Reaper 6.42 won’t connect to the rack2.so files. It lists the VST3 modules (located in /lib/usr/vst3) as “failed to scan”.
Reaper behaves normally with other VSTs such as Surge and Vital.
I just acquired the VCVRack2 outfit two days ago. What can I do?
yes, it happened in the past uptade, it not work on reaper, renoise and the rack host, I have already reported it
we could be patient , all the crew is working hard fixing bugs…
David – I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry about this – but in any case, thanks very much for your speedy reply.
I will be patient.
Wasn’t the b release supposed to fix this? Both VSTi and VST are working for me in reaper. Have you tried going into the reaper VST preferences and click the rescan button > plugins that failed to scan and click on VCV. This fixed it for me.
Are you on a different OS? I’m on LinuxMint 20.2. I’ve rescanned many times, with no success.
I’m on arch but I can’t imagine it makes much difference. Probably best to report it then to support@vcvrack.com although David said he already has. I’m sure it can’t do any harm in showing you that can reproduce it at least and they might ask you to test a fix.
I hope they do. My Rack2 – installed just two days ago – is in fact 2.0.3b.
Try deleting contents of autosave. If that still does not get VST going then blank out the template.vcv and try again, though I think 2.0.3b uses it’s own template for the VST, though not tested that yet. That should get the VST scanning and going hopefully
Nothing still. Rack2, when I invoke it from /opt/VCV, appears to operate normally. Just to make sure I’m on the same page with everybody else, I’m including the first couple of dozen lines from that session’s log.txt:

OOPS - uh, that wasn’t the smartest move I’ve made recently. I’ll email those 32 lines to support /at/ vcvrack.
for future reference, if you put three backticks ``` before and after your pasted text, it will format it in a readable way.
Heh. Thanks. I’ll do that.
I wonder if this is because of where you have installed it. I had a similar problem when I first installed Rack 2, previously I had mine in ~/.local/opt and that is where I put Rack 2 initially and I had similar problems. The install instructions say that it should be in ~/.local/applications/VCV (or is it in share? can’t remember off the top of my head) so the plugin is probably not finding the Rack files.
That sounds – ahh – “persuasively plausible”. I’m on something else right now, but I’ll try it early this afternoon, with my fingers crossed. Thanks.
I had the same issue. At first everything worked great then reaper started crashing at load or when dropping the vst or vsti on a track. Reaper stopped seeing the plugin and failed to scan. I deleted all vcv plugins and reaper could relaunch and scan vcv plugin, turns out modules from valley and packone are making the vst crash and prevent reaper from scanning.
It looks like the install instructions were updated since I last read them so it should work where you have them.
So I moved everything that was in opt/VCV down to /home/jim/.local/share/VCV. Rebooted the entire OS. That was yesterday. This morning I reinstalled reaper.
Nothing has changed. Reaper can see the Rack2 *.so files but can’t connect with them.
…have you try re installing the OS?
just kidding 
This is not a solution but a bypass while you iron out the VST issue (or the dev come up with a fix) but you are aware you can route your Rack in Reaper right? So at least you have the audio coming in. It’s not as flexible as the VST solution but at least it can help keep you going to use Rack and Reaper.
…and both of the 27" monitors, and the Mackie 824s while I’m at it.
