I noticed a more particular issue with PA plugins - I use Windows machine as my main one, but installed same plugins to my Mac laptop, and when I open Ableton projects with VST3 plugins added, on the Mac they are not recognised and shows as missing. If I replace them on the Mac with same PA plugins, then Windows doesn't recognise them.
First time I noticed such behaviour, re-install of plugins on Mac didn't help.

Unless I'm completely misreading your post - PC VSTs and Mac VSTs (as in the .vst3 file) are not cross-compatible, as are compiled libraries for the respective device/cpu. You can't just copy a windows .vst3 file to a mac and it work on that device - you'd need a vst3 that has been compiled for the target architecture

EDIT: I think I am misreading your post - You're talking about a DAW project made on a Mac/Windows loading into the other device claiming the plugins are missing even though they're installed on both devices right ?

Lots of PA plugins aren't working. Tested in Reaper too, they do not show up. :(
I’m having this exact problem here. Have u solved it?
