It now works as expected after clearing BitWig’s plugin cache. Both Clap and VST3 seem to work fine now.

1.6.4 on Fedora 44 seems fine other than the following. The clap version I could not enter my email and product code and after I entered it on the VST3 version the clap version would no longer load, but the VST3 version is fine.
Error from BitWig Studio 5.3: [2026-06-23 06:56:54.427 notifications error] Error loading files: /usr/lib/clap/Vital.clap
ch.toguaudioline.talbassline101: No plugin found in file with sub path ch.toguaudioline.talbassline101
/usr/lib/clap/Vital.clap
ch.toguaudioline.talbassline101: Not of correct type
This is a super weird error obviously. Not sure why there’s crossover from the tal plugin and vital. I used the rpm installer. They are located in different directories as well. Most of my plugins are installed in ~/.clap, ~/.vst3 etc where vital is the only one in /usr/lib./clap/vital.clap.
I checked bigtwig plugin scanner and no errors reported.
This cleared the cache:
rm -rf ~/.BitwigStudio/index
rm -f ~/.BitwigStudio/cache/vst-metadata*
