3rd party plugins greyed out in logic 11.2 during session

I've noticed since updating to Logic 11.2 that many third party plugins are greyed out during session and when re-opening a project. I had an instance of Serum 2 loaded on one track and then duplicated the track while I was browsing presets and wanted to create a new track with that preset loaded. Normally in Logic 11.1.2 these tracks would be duplicated and Serum 2 loaded and available on the duplicated tracks.


In 11.2 the duplicated tracks are greyed out and I cannot get the plugin to load by double clicking on the greyed out instance. I have to manually reload the plugin and find the preset again.


But when I save and reopen the plugin these tracks are once again greyed out and require manual loaded of the plugin again.


It's not just Serum 2, but any of my third party plugins are also impacted by this issue. I've looked online and seen many other people report this issue, but cannot find any answers that resolve this issue.


I've downgraded back to 11.1.2 but would love to know how to get 11.2 working without these greyed out plugins, which totally destroy workflow and the ability to recall projects. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

i have teh same issue - under 11.2 many 3rd party plugins ( that i rely on) are greyed out when loaded and cannot be opened . i tried all teh usual tricks deleing various refs etc ( as ive been on logic since teh emagic days ) but nothing helped - eventually had to roll back to 11.1.2 which works fine ( other than the slow start up) - v disapointing
