Bias Amp 2 Standalone doesn't load

opabobby

Bias FX loads and runs fine as a standalone.
However, when I try to run Bias Amp 2 stand alone nothing happens.
I'm using a PC with Windows 10 (64bit)
By the way, both run fine as plugins for Reason.

@opabobby please open a support ticket.
It will help PG to see and fix possible bugs depending on a specific environment.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to Positive Grid support.

This is a known issue we are working on, but for now, please try this workaround:

Rename Documents/PositiveGrid/BIAS_AMP 2 folder

2.Delete BIAS _AMP 2.settings in:
C:\Users[User_name]\AppData\Roaming\PositiveGrid\BIAS_AMP2.settings

Thanks, let us know how it goes.

Kind Regards,
Chris

I just ran into the same problem, but also my DAW (Sonar Platinum) crashed when loading a project using Bias Amp 2. I just logged a ticket and then noticed this here, and it seems to have brought it back to life.

@opabobby
this fixed a problem I had a few days ago when I switched to a different audio interface.
thanks!
positive grid: in my case there was no error message, the software just didn't appear. Deleting the settings file fixed it.

I had the same issue after changing the audio interface from my Audiobox iTwo to my sound card and back. No error message. Deleting the settings file fixed it.

Thanks for the help on this post.

@opabobby This workaround still works!! After I'd set up the Standalone it worked fine in Reaper!

I purchased Bias fx 2 and only have Bias amp 2 installed.
After installing Bias fx 2 I have found ot does not load or work.I have spent close to $1,000 between Spark Amp and the Positive Grid Mini 300 watt amp, but it's pathetic that I cannot get any technicians to solve this issue. On my Kemper Amp it runs seamlessly.
.This is very poor "Support" and I feel that their focus is on selling.
