Title pretty much says it all.
Having updated my template recently, the Virus Control is now in a state where it won't record automation when opening the template. if I save the project and restart Ableton, it records no problem.

Anyone have a solution or explanation for this?

A while back I experienced a similar issue, where opening projects already having automation, the VC seemingly didn't have those parameters available anymore; they were greyed out in Ableton. I then had to actually delete the plugin and re-record automation or go through some arduous copy-paste workaround. IIRC, I solved this by starting to use the VST3 version, which is the one I'm currently using.

Cheers,
Chris
