Plugin Load Failure
Hey folks
Out of the blue I am now getting an error message when I attempt to load any of the FF plugins. I have pretty much the full bundle and I have using them for ages, and inexplicably they now fail.
This is on Windows 10 using Reaper.
The plugins load their default state (which DOES work) but if I try to switch to any of the presets I get a message
"The preset file could not be opened, it could be corrupt, from another FabFilter plugin, or it was written by and incompatible version of this plug-in"
This is super strange because as I have said they were all working very recently and nothing has changed that I am aware of.
This is blocking my work so a solution would be super useful.
thanks team for some great plugi-ns.

Hi Stephan, could you send us a small video to info@fabfilter.com?
Just popping a reply in here with the resolution in case anyone else has a similar issue.
If you go to the options menu within the fabfilter and select "Restore Factory Presets" that seems to fix this issue.
No idea what caused it but happy to have a solution.
cheers to the FF team.
I get the following error when I try to do this:
Error: Unable to restore all factory presets
Please make sure that your current preset folder path is valid and that your preset folder is not read-only.
I haven't updated the plugins or changed the path to my knowledge.
Do you have any thoughts on what I can do to fix this issue?
