Bug Sequoia 15.8.2 RC1 breaks audio plugins

M1 Mini. Reaper 7.8.2. I've stayed on Sequoia because I have a lot of old plugins, nervous about them breaking. I got on the Sequoia beta track so Apple would stop telling me to upgrade. There have been several recent security updates in the Sequoia beta track. Foolishly, I installed 15.8.2 RC1.

Most, but not all, of my plugins open with empty windows. If I click UI, the parameters are all there, and they appear to be working. No error messages.

Some AU appear, some don't. Some VST appear, some don't. Some VST3 appear, some don't. Waves, iZotope, small developers, recent or old, doesn't matter. All the Cockos plugs I've tried do appear.

Same is true in Garageband, so it's not Reaper.

thanks, though i failed to get it reverse engineered and rolled back to the previous files/driver. going to have another stab at it though, sick of waiting around for a patch (and not keen on a full reinstall!).

They've made an OS rollback well nie impossible, no? I fucking hate that. Wait for a patch is all I've got. If it's fucking with Minecraft, they're going to have to do something...

I love that Reddit keeps prompting me to crosspost this to r/MacOS, where beta discussions are prohibited.

that’s still nothing.
reddit wants you to crosspost to r/legaladvice when you post to r/crimecats

Broke a ton of things for me, too. Since you’re on beta, you should have Feedback Assistant; let’s report it to get it fixed.

Did that first thing. I've also reported to Waves and Izotope and Cockos. Need to get the developers yelling at Apple.
