I want to clear up a little bit of confusion here.EnochLight wrote: ↑08 Jun 2023As for Reason, all assets are now in high-res for Reason 12, but Reason has to ping the server and download said assets at least once. If you want to prompt Reason to do it all over again, then delete the high-res assets in the Graphics Cache content folder when Reason isn't running, and then start Reason. It will need to be online, but it will ping RS servers and download the high-res assets for each device. This means you need to load everything at least one time. EVERYTHING. Yeah, it sucks - but them's the breaks.
Graphics Cache locations:
macOS: ~/Library/Caches/Reason/GraphicsCache
Windows: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Propellerhead Software\Reason\GraphicsCache
The hi-res graphic packs for REs are only ever downloaded when you install the RE (or "upgrade to hi-res" - same thing but only adds the hi-res files) using Reason+ Companion (or Authorizer). This is unlike how you get the add-ons for arm64 on Mac - Reason downloads any missing ones on start-up (motivated because REs can't work without the DSP module, while they could fall back to lo-res graphics).
Those (hi-res graphics) files are stored with the RE - not in GraphicsCache.
GraphicsCache is just a cache used to avoid redoing high quality downscaling to the app zoom levels you use.
It will always be filled in again if cleared, so you can clear it whenever you like (while Reason is not running).
The only thing that happens if the GraphicsCache is gone, is that the first time you see some graphics in some zoom level, the user interface will work a little harder for some seconds, and briefly show blurry graphics. So there is no pinging of any server related to GraphicsCache. It is entirely offline.
The initial hi-res graphics packs for some REs had issues, and were replaced with fixed ones later on the servers as we discovered / received reports of this.
If you had already installed hi-res for such a RE, you would have to uninstall and reinstall the entire RE (while Reason is not running) to get the updated hi-res graphics.
Here is where I think the confusion came from: In some cases, after uninstall+reinstall of a RE to get such a hi-res update, the GraphicsCache directory must be cleared, or you could still see some of the graphics from before the update.
If you still see some RE hi-res graphics that are wrong, you can quit Reason, uninstall and reinstall the RE, clear GraphicsCache and try again.
If it's not fixed, please report it to RS. In a few cases some visual issues in RE/hi-res can't be fixed by RS, and only the manufacturer can fix them.
