9.0.1.113: Groove Agent 4 causing Cubase to crash

Issue description: I’m currently trying to work on a project which contains a VST3 instance of Groove Agent 4.2.30.320. However when I try to load the project it crashes Cubase. When I rename the VST3 instance of Groove Agent, the project loads fine, however the GUI of the VST2.4 Groove Agent substitute is truncated in a small window only showing the Activate, Bypass and Automation buttons. There’s no sound from the VST2.4 instance.

Before the project causing Cubase to crash I also had issues showing the Groove Agent GUI. In an early stage I also had issues showing the Retrologue VST3 GUI. While other VST GUI’s could be opened fine, the Groove Agent or Retrologue GUI did not appear. I solved this by temporarily disabling the Always On Top option in Preferences.

I can not reproduce the issue, because the project file simply is broken and won’t load.

I attached a dmp.

Edit: I now managed to open the project, by first starting a new project and add Groove Agent (that works as expected) and then opening and activating the troublesome project.

Additional observation: Occasionally I can open the troublesome project. When it does it gives me an error and writes a dmp (I’ll attach that one too).
Right before that happens the Average Load in the ASIO meter clips. From that moment when I try to open the Groove Agent GUI from the VST Instrument Panel, the Average Load clips, but the Groove Agent GUI does not open. It does play back normally.

Hello,

I split two comments: [HALLY-6639] Crash reloading cpr with Groove Agent 4 - Cubase - Steinberg Forums

I also linked this one to the official issue report, as it might be related. If not, I’m going to create a new issue and update the thread. Thank you.

Hello

first post so sorry if I don’t get the etiquette right .

I have recently experiencing problems with GA4 and cubase pro 9 . I can load Cubase , open a instrument track with GA4 , seems to work ok. Close the project , then do the same and then get a serious error and GA4 does not work , the track inspector is greyed out . repeatable every time . I have tried uninsitalling both CP9 and GA4, hiding remaining files , but same thing happens . I have attached crash file.

When I uninstall GA4 , all seems to work fine .

Any pointers ?

cheers
