VCVRack won't start - White Screen

VCV Rack
1

Hello there, I’m having this issue with it that, when started it takes forever to start up and when it does launch it just a big white screen and task manager even says Not responding. Like it’s hanging on something, but I have no idea what it would be as I have nothing else open on my computer. I have tried restarting, reinstalling and making sure nothing else is running that could interfere with it.

Any help or subjection to fix the issue?

Thanks! Jack

Hi Jack. Welcome to the community.

Three suggestions:

  1. Delete autosave-v1.vcv and restart Rack.
  2. If Rack won’t start, then rename the plugins-v1 folder, create a new plugins-v1 folder, copy in ~ half the plugins and restart Rack. If that works, copy the other half in. If a rogue plugin is the problem you can narrow down which it is fairly quickly by copying in blocks of them. If a plugin is the problem then you report it to the plugin’s Github issue tracker.
  3. If Rack still won’t start with no plugins loaded then see here: Bugs and Features — VCV Rack documentation.
