BFD asks to migrate EVERY time I open it

I have a fresh install here of BFD3 latest version, core library and some expansions.

BFD3 is asking me to migrate EVERY TIME I open it.

How to fix this?/

in my case it helped to rund both the licenser and the standalone as administrator once ad this did the trick

In my case I did the regedit as per the instructions Drew gave. Worked great for me. No problems anymore.

Im on OSX here BTW. I have trashed prefs and so forth, nada

5

OSX here 10.13.6

Is there ANY way to get RID of this prompt?? I trashed any and all things BFD and FXPANSION BEFORE doing a complete reinstall here. This appears EVERY time I start up BFD. There are no previous files and folders as they were all trashed including the BFD pref files

Thanks

Is your content installed in a location other than the defaults, like mine? I have this same annoyance and I was wondering if that’s why. Non-default options only get tested by end users…

EDIT: Mac OS 10.13.6

All content is on a secondary drive here

What Regedit fix was that?

For you Windows dudes

  • Open Registry Editor
  • Navigate to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE[BFD Drums](https://www.kvraudio.com/auto/d4228)[BFD3](https://www.kvraudio.com/auto/p610)
  • Check for these entries: FirstRun, fxp2inm_migration, and NeedScan
  • If you don’t have them all, create them. They should all be string types.
  • Set FirstRun to ‘No’ without quotes.
  • Set fxp2inm_migration to ‘migrated’ without quotes.
  • Set ‘NeedScan’ to ‘no’ without quotes.

Yes that is it exactly. Worked for me.

No… That was useless. Now what?

For you OSX guys:

user/Library/Preferences/com.bfddrums.BFD3.plist
Open this prefs file with a Hex editor
Make sure these 3 strings are like this and save file:

FirstRun
No

NeedScan
No

fxp2inm_migration
migrated

I tried this here and NO GO. May Prefs are missing some things even after re install after deleting them

This seems to have worked for me on my High Sierra system.

I used Plist Edit Pro here.

Changed the migration line from deferred to migrated and saved, seems to have worked
