Changes in an API function in 6.16 broke some things in user scripts - which was fixed again in 6.17.

Let me know in the ReaLauncher thread (https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....208697&page=12) in case the loading issue persists after updating to 6.17 or 6.18.
And also which of the ReaLauncher tabs (Recent Projects, Project Templates, Track Templates, Projects, etc.) is active during loading.
