REQ: Fix for Timebombed FabFilter Total Bundle 2019 on PC screenshot
All 2019 versions of FabFilter Total Bundle for PC are time bombed (including all R2R and Team VR releases).

All plugins are affected, with Pro-Q3 and Pro-L2 seeming to be the most heavily affected.

The plugins will work when being used in a DAW. After some random amount of time within 30 - 60 minutes, when music is played through the plugins, the bomb will trigger and the plugin will only produce white noise, and open a page (in the default web browser) on the FabFilter website telling you not to pirate. (Which we know we shouldn't! :)

Disconnecting from the Internet is NOT a fix for this as the dll's have been modified in both the R2R and Team VR releases, and it's a signature check that is failing and triggering the bomb.

Cashmere released a fix on December 23, 2019 for Mac only. She claims she only needed to change one byte in each dll to fix this. Not sure if she really means one byte or one "edit" in a debugger. However, we still don't know which byte, or what pattern or string to search for in order to fix this ourselves in a freeware debugger (x32dbg/x64dbg).

This really needs a proper release! :)

Until then, PC users can use the November 2018 release which doesn't have this bomb.

Here's some info from Cashmere's NFO ("FabFilter Total Bundle v2019.03.13 PROPER"):

However with these shiny new signed binaries came a sneaky new time bomb which is triggered when the binaries code is altered and doesn’t match fabfilters code signature or the plugins code signature itself is altered which also triggers the bomb.
It was very easy to find and patch out this bomb by changing just one byte. So no more nasty surprises. enjoy

Come here just to try the software and buy it afterwards.
If I don't like the software I will just DELETE it.

Hi,

Did you ever get the answer of where to find this "November 2018" release for PC? Can you please PM the link or a copy of the install files (since it seems to be "top secret").

Thanks in advance.

Hello. I have the 2019 Windows version, and I also get the time-bomb. I only see the 3/2018 release here... Would you be so kind and let me know where you found the November 2018 Release (the good reliable virus-free version)?

PM me please.
Much appreciated
