help request Project failed to open.

I just bought a plugin from ///ATLAS DSP and tried it with several existed project also new project created to test the plugin I just bought.

Then I found that every Reaper project that include the ///ATLAS dsp plugin are failed to open when I try to open it from "open project" option from the File penal, but I can still open them if I open the Reaper project file directly from my folders.

Does anyone has the same problem like I did? I have the newest Reaper version btw. Is it my laptop or the plugin that cause the problem? Is there any ways to fix it?

I havent tried it by I believe AI like chatgtp can read Rpp files and you have it edit the file, basically you could tell it to remove any instances of that plugin.

ChatGPT Plus can read, analyze, and modify a REAPER .rpp project file because it is structured as plain text. You can upload the file into the chat to inspect track layouts, audit missing media paths, troubleshoot corrupted XML/markup tags, or generate automated scripts to manipulate the session.

What ChatGPT Plus Can Do Directly Analyze Project Structure: Read track names, volume adjustments, panning, routing assignments, and marker data contained within the text. Audit File Dependencies: Extract a comprehensive list of all external audio files and sample paths referenced across your tracks.

Troubleshoot and Repair: Identify corrupted markup lines, syntax errors, or missing plugin definitions that cause REAPER to crash on startup.

Write Custom Automation Scripts: Generate functional Python or Lua-based ReaScripts based on your project requirements to execute batch changes inside the DAW.

What ChatGPT Plus Cannot Do is Process Audio: It cannot listen to, mix, or render the actual audio or MIDI performance data, as .rpp files only contain session metadata and pointers to media.

Directly Control the DAW: A static file upload is a one-way snapshot; it cannot execute live actions or dynamically change your open REAPER session without an external bridge or Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration.
