11.0.30 still unusable with Nuendo 13.0.41 on Windows 11. Crash every use

I cannot use Specralayers 11.0.30 because it unfortunately crashes every time I use it in ARA and try to run any of the modules (unmix drums, unmix etc). I get an instant application crash dialog and I have to restart Nuendo. I am on windows 11. Anyone else have this issue? I thought 11.0.30 was meant to fix some crash issues

-Did you have those crash with 11.0.20, or is it new with 11.0.30 ?
-Does it work when you launch SpectraLayers as a standalone application and open an audio file ?
-What’s your exact computer configuration ? In particular CPU, GPU, RAM
-Can you upload a crash dump (located in Documents\Steinberg\CrashDumps) somewhere and link it here ? (if not too big it could be uploaded on the forum)
-Can you go to %appdata%\Steinberg\SpectraLayers 11.0\logs and upload a couple log files here ?

Yes I had crashes under 111.0.20
Spectraayers standalone version works without issue
Computer is an intel 10900K with 32gb ram on a ASUS Prime Z490-a motherboard with 3 UAD PCI-e cards installed and an RME MADI PCI-e audio interface. All drives are SSD

Here is a link to a crash

To trigger this crash I:
Selected a drum stereo stem file.
Invoked Spectralayers ARA on it
I chose to Unmix drums and hit the process button.

  • result: crash with a dialog box. Nuendo keeps running but is now unstable and will save incremental project versions from there until I restart

When you go to Edit > Preferences > System, is the AI Processing Device defined to CPU ?

Yes Ai Processing is CPU. That is true for standalone and the ARA version

Any other ideas on this? I uninstalled any previous version and re-installed Spectralayers 11. Sill causes an immediate crash just now trying to ‘unmix song’ in ARA Mode.

I sent a support request to Steinberg but there always seems to be a 4-5 week reply on them
