[2.2.44] Crash start (scanning plugins)

Hi, friends!
When VST Live 2.2.44 started at first time (without scanning the plugins) it loaded correctly.
But 2nd time, activating Scan plugins at start, VST Live crashes.
I have uninstalled the program and again installed all 3 latest versions, but in all of them it fails (Crash at the end of the scan).

Attached the DMP file in case somebody can help me

Thanks and regards,

In that case, most probably a plugin has crashed VST Live. Just start again, possibly several times, at some point it will start. Then check “Devices/Plug-In Information” to see which have been banned to prevent it to crash next time.

If you have 100 “bad guys”, you will have to start VST Live 100 times until it works. That is because plugins are extensions to the app, so they become integral part of the app, and if they crash, the app crashes. There is nothing much that we can do about that.

If you really need to start very often, you may want to “quarantine” (rename or temporarily move) plugins of a certain brand, or type, to see where the root of the evil lies.

Thank you very much @Musicullum.
There are not many new VST that I installed before updating to VL 2.2.44. I will try what you tell me. If I detect the vst conflictive I will comment on the forum. Thank you so much.

… it crashed with “Komplet Kontrol” (Version : 2.9.6). Can you please contact NI and give them this DMP?

I’ve installed version 3.5.0 of “Komplet Control”, started VST Live and could load the Plug-In without any problems. Can you update to version 3.5.0, too?

Thank you,
Michael.

Thanks, Michael.
I cannot update to version 3.5.0 since it is not compatible with KK MK1 keyboards. Currently I use MK1 and MK2 keyboards and with KK 2.9.6 the two keyboards work in a predictable way, although they have bugs. for example with Cubase, that it will not even solve. Although NI allow simultaneously to install the version of KK 2.9.6 and the updated 3.5.0, in practice with the two versions of KK simultaneously installed, it continually had random problems that broke my workflow. Therefore, I cannot update to version 3.5.0. And on the other hand, in the versions after KK 2.9.6, navigation by instrument subbanks does not work, which is another negative point for not updating KK. It is a bug notified from the first version of KK 3 (and frequently remembered in the NI forums) but it does not seem to be solved (or NI keep silent about it). :frowning:

NI don’t correct k 2.9.6 errors anymore, so it seems that I can’t do anything about it :frowning:
Thank you very much, anyway, for testing the DMP file.

Regards,

… I see. Maybe I can find something. Let’s try. Can you please locate the following folder, zip it and give it to me? Drop it here or send me a PM.

C:\Users\MSpork\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\VST Live_64

Thank you,
Michael.

Thank you very much, Michael.
It will take a week, maybe a little more, because I am traveling and I have no access to the computer with VST Live.
I send it to you as soon as I can.
Thank you very much for your help!
All the best
