I am a new user of VM, so I am using a download this week VM 2.5.5
I have spent a lot of money this week buying a lot of modules.
I was very concerned about the issue raised by Skyt. I suffer from T-Mobile internet which is extremely glitchy north of San Francisco.
I closed VM. Then disabled my Wifi. Then reloaded VM.
All my modules loaded without complaint without having internet access.
The big patches I have been trying, I tried them with no wifi, and they still had all their audio glitches too when run without internet on this top of the line pre-M1 apple laptop. ;(
Wish I had tested bigger patches in demo mode to discover the audio performance problems before laying down a lot of money on modules.
Update: Checking the box for multiple threads is necessary to get VM to go farther. See my other thread:
