When things go wrong in 3.5 I spend days trying to figure out how to fix it, and I have been here since the first BFD.
Two days ago I lost all my drum kit presets. I’ve moved the presets around to many directories with no luck. This just happened out of the blue. Nothing changed. Once person’s fix for this was to go to File - Load preset from file. I did that: C:\Users\m\OneDrive\Documents\BFD Drums\BFD3\Presets. This is not where I would like them to be, but they are there anyway and they still don’t play. Instead of a kit picture I get a white BFD 3 folder icon. When I click on this icon I get this message: Failed to load infor! (3). I’ve put these presets everywhere I can think of with luck. I have more than 30 presets but only 3 work. I was in the middle of a song when this happened and I just can’t understand why. Please help.
I miss the previous way to change content locations. I don’t understand this way.
Also, some of the presets now say they are in this directory: Onedrive/personal/documents. They are not in there. How did these presets change? I have no idea why they would be directed to that location.
I think I fixed it. I added a directory and now I only have to delete the Kit Presets with the white BFD 3 folder icon. Still don’t know how this happened.
One possible explanation for your consideration. If you recently did anything that caused Microsoft Windows to convert your account from a local account to a cloud account, it would move things around under the hood on you. And it can have very disruptive effects much like what you just described.

Well, that is interesting. I don’t recall doing anything with the frequent Windows updates, except crossing my fingers and hoping the whole thing doesn’t crash. Yet, somehow this just might be what caused this issue. Thank you.
You’re welcome. I’ve been hit by that more than once myself. If you look in the C:\Users folder and see more than one variant of your typical user name, that’s a strong sign Windows switched you over.
That is exactly where the kit presets were found, some newly created OneDrive folder.
