So... I used the internal update function, software and 3 GB FSB got downloaded. Now I can't see the FSB anywhere anymore, and I can't create players - they appear in the browser bar, but are greyed out in the context menu. Any ideas?

Are you sure you have logged in (during the download and installation process I had to log in again)

Positive. I wasn't asked for a re-log, there was no restart. Strange thing is that the old players are greyed out as well.

strange - uninstalling and reinstalling would be my assessment of needs.

I think there are plenty of peeps with issues atm I've done the same and after 3 hours downloading still have no new content. I've seen others with hard links gone but at least I've still got the FSB. Downloading is painfully slow so I'm going to sit this out and wait and see what happens cos things are definitely not right presently.

It may be excessively paranoid but I'm not even going to try and open any existing work just to be on the safe side!!

Did a quick'n dirty new install with the full installer - nothing changed. Did a reboot - nothing changed. At least I can see the FSB now again.

I'm not sure if you know this already, but you can't use Players as a standalone device. You have to add them to an already open instrument.

If you are looking for the new drum machine Player you have to get it from the Propellerhead store as if you were buying an Rack Extension.

Facepalm. I'm feeling pretty embarrased now. Of course it's instrument first, player second. Nevertheless, the internal update somehow kicked the FSB from the Reason 10 folder. Consider me back in the coffin for now...

It happens to the best of us. Glad I could help :)

Your issue also gave me a kick in the pants to finally register to this forum. I've been lurking in the background since Propellerhead closed their user forum a few years ago. So, thanks for push. :)
