I have similar issues with my update. I'm running Win7 64bit using a Focusrite Sapphire Pro 24 DSP as my interface with Cakewalk Sonar X1 Pro as my DAW.

I've been using Pod Farm 2 since its release with no issues. I ran the iLok update using the default installation directory, deselected RTAS and redirected the VST plugs to my primary VST directory.

In standalone mode the default patch works, but most of the effects do not. Changing the amp model in the default patch makes little difference, ie, changing the model to say the AC30 will change the graphic but the tone still sounds like the Marshall 800. Very strange. No user patches work, either factory patches or ones I have written in V2. I have the audio hardware configured correctly in preferences, and I am hitting the in and out led's, but with anything but the default patch, basically it is a direct sound. No amps or FX have any effect.

As a VST plug in Sonar I'm having pretty much the same results. Nothing but the default patch works. Some of the Elements will work in an insert, but it is very random. And to make things worse, my 2.0 32bit VST effects now exhibit the same issues.

Basically my entire Pod Farm setup is broken.

I reinstalled the 2.5 update with no change. I've been doing computer based recording for over 15 years so I've gotten very good and troubleshooting installation and configuration issues, but I've hit the wall on this one.

I am tempted to completely uninstall Pod Farm and get my self back to a wiorking version of 2.0 but I am holding out for a possible solution here on the boards.

In scanning through all of the 2.5 posts from the last two days I am seeing a whole, whole lot of people with issues. Hopefully the Line6 support crew will come up with some solutions. I use the Pod Farm plug on a daily basis in my studio and think it is an excellent piece of software. I hope we see a fix in the not too distant future.

Well, we are all in the same boat...

I'm running Win 7 64 bits and Pod Farm 2.02 works just fine.

But Pod Farm 2.5... Wow, all sorts of problems, so I went back to v 2.02

I hope that we will hear from Line 6 soon on that issue.

I looked and I don't see a way to write to them directly.

Hopefully, they know about this and they will adress this problem.

Hey woodhenge,

  After uninstalled all of the versions of POD Farm from your computer, which versions did you reinstall? Did you install 2.02 and 2.50? If so, please try uninstalling all version except 2.50 and please let us know your results.

  Please provide as much information about error codes or steps taken to encounter them as well, it is much appreciated.

1) When switching presets do not work regulators amplifiers (except basic operational amplifiers)
2) If the preset to change the amplifier of the Metal Shop at the base of the Pod Farm 2, and after this step change back to the amplifier of the Metal Shop that regulators are beginning to work!
3) The same problem with many components

Same problem here.

This is such an abomination of a bug, its like this is some type of beta test joke.  I just wasted 2 hours trying to debug the crap that is being called an update.  If its not ready for prime time, don't release it and subject your loyal user base to this type of unnecessary torture

This all sounds awful I'm so glad i did not upgrade !! Hope you get it fixed soon Line6 cos there's some real P****d off people.

Getting angry may not solve this problem any faster, but it may make the Line 6 decision/management team think a bit harder about future "upgrade" rollout management.

This really was the kind of problem you would expect to see from a small start up, not a company like line 6.
