The plugin can't find the path to RealTracks and RealDrums each time I open FL Studio 20.5. I have to manually enter the paths each time I open FL Studio (very annoying). Also, the plugin will not accept a break or stop, such as f#m.. (notice the stop dots).

I can duplicate those problems -- we'll fix for in the next patch. For the folder locations, check in the actual Band-in-a-Box program, and make sure Band-in-a-Box itself is pointing to the folders you want -- this should prevent you from having to re-enter folder names.

I wanted to start a new version of my song with the plugin while using FL Studio 20.1. I highlighted all the chords in the timeline of BiaB plugin, pressed ctrl-c a couple of times and FL Studio crashed. Would this be a problem with the plugin?
I did this again (see above). Pressed ctrl-c once and no crash. Pressed ctrl-c two or three times and it crashed again.
I did this again. Pressed ctrl-c once, went to the file menu to select New and it crashed again.
I did this again. Selected all chords in the timeline, pressed ctrl-c, waited a second or two and FL Studio crashed.

I checked that in FL Studio and I'm not seeing that problem. Does Ctrl+V work if you don't go to file-new?

After I drag mouse over all the chords (ctrl+a doesn't work), press ctrl+c, get ready for FLS to shut down. It just closes. Thanks, Andrew.
Windows 10
Also, "The plugin can't find the path to RealTracks and RealDrums each time I open FL Studio 20.5."
This is now working OK. FL Studio just upgraded to 20.1 from 20.0.5.

Plugin just crashed with message saying something similar to "Plugin is not working. Please restart it and try again." Not sure if I've seen this message before or not.
I would have been OK with that except the plugin doesn't retain the tempo, feel, genre, etc. when I go back to pick another style. And this happens every time. So I'm frustratingly writing this post.
All of my other things I mentioned earlier (see previous posts) hasn't been fixed as well.

Thanks, Pipeline, but I'll wait awhile longer and hope they'll fix it. I want to work out of my DAW. That's why I bought BiaB 2019.

Using Cakewalk by Bandlab. I tried to load a style (already had one loaded) and got the message "There was a problem running Band-in-a-Box. Please restart the plugin and try again. I saw this message in FL Studio 20.1 as well.
Then I tried to copy all the chords using Cakewalk by Bandlab as I did with FL Studio and crashed. This is the second time this has happened. I got a message that "A fatal error has occurred." It was from Band-in-a-Box DAW VST Plugin.dll

I'm ready to throw in the towel with v 2019. I gave up on the plugin. Went to BiaB 2019. Loaded a previous song, selected a style, tried it out, went back to try another style and it wouldn't change styles. Tried this numerous times. Closed the program, restarted with no luck.

Is this happening only in 64-bit? Or 32-bit too? I've already abandoned the VST and the 64-bit until and if they get those fixed.
