Apparently the Vocaloid 3 editor was having some issues with the menu making the program crash. Yamaha released a patch on October 28th to fix the known bug. It is free of charge to those who have purchased the vocaloid 3 editor.

Yeah Yamaha's already updated the Editor twice within the first two weeks. I honestly didn't notice any bugs with any of the versions / updates.

I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Sure they are fixing errors but it kinda proves they were rushing the product.

So does this mean that all the Vocaloid3 editor downloads and boxes will come with that patch already installed? Or will new users have to go download it?

When you open the editor it'll ask if you want to download the update
if I remember correctly all you have to do is click yes and it'll send
you to a website and you click a button to save to a destination
then you click where you saved it and thats about it :3

Nope. That would mean every time the Editor got an update they would have to pull and replace all the physical copies. As Utatane said, once you install and boot V3 it'll ask you if you want to update to the newest version. It'll take you to the site and you download it. I don't know why digital copies aren't downloaded with the most recent update already installed. I can't imagine it'd take that much time and effort to change it. >.>

From what i understand after asking a similar question about other digital software, It actually kinda does. Everything gets compartmentalized and so it's just easier all around at least for them to issue an update. And since even the best program can glitch. To say it was rushed is a bit harsh unless the program as a whole is buggy from the start.

Applications programming is a race between software engineers, who strive to produce idiot-proof programs, and the Universe which strives to produce bigger idiots.

So far, the Universe is winning.
Thank you

It's virtually impossible to write a program as complex as Vocaloid without any bugs..

That they're releasing so many updates probably means they want to show that they really care.
