MainStage 3.1 bugs

upgraded to mainstage 3.1 and found new version simply re-wrote and re-routed most of my pedal assignments ....after going through about 30 instruments on several concerts and re-wriing all the lost assignments i was able to salvage the concerts i needed but will have to do this for any old concerts i want to use... then i moved (migration assistant) everything to a new computer via time machine and found that while Logic seems mostly ok, MainStage takes about 5-10 minutes for instruments (both exs24 and Kontakt) to find samplers AFTER the instruments are loaded!!!!.. i've tried all i know but have no idea whats going on... it appears to load all the instruments...you can see all the data loaded...but no sound for any instruments....then one by one they find their samples over a period of about 5 to 10 minutes... this version of MainStage is so bug ridden i'm shocked...i've used this program for touring for the last 7 years but never had these kind of issues...need to get back to earlier version but not sure how...help!!

I have the same problem with one of my user samples after this upgrade - I can see the sample info in finder but it isn't picked up by ex24 when I open the concert.

yea...maddening...i can see samples but icons are sorta greyed/ whited out....then one by one over a period of 5 or 10 minutes they begin to fill in...as if they were being downloaded off the internet...which of course they're not...hoping someone might have an answer soon!....

Yikes, did this get rectified? I hesitate to consider purchasing the program if it is bug-ridden.

Does anyone know if there is any plan to address the many issues that are obvious program bugs? Possibly, because I am using older computers Mac Mini Core Duo and Mac Mini i5, there might be an issue. But I am running Yosemite 10.10.2. How can Apple endorse a program that does not work consistently?

i was able to resolve most of these issues....it seems whenever you update there's a setting in "Projects Settings"> Midi where there's box that becomes unchecked for "Control Change 7/10 controls Volume/Pan of channel strip objects" this has to reset after any major update and the box re-checked if it was checked in the first place... that same setting in MainStage is under File menu > Concert Settings . i was able to resolve the sample load time issues by buying an expensive new 1TB thunderbolt II SSD ... there may have been problem with previous drive although it works perfect with my other laptops...not sure what the issue was or is but working with new drive.
