For the past 6 months I had been rid of the plugin refusing to load .dll load limit. I had attributed it to a Microsoft windows 10 update. I just upgraded to 9.0.30 and brought up a mix I’d been working on with a decent amount of plugins turned on and low and behold it refused to load more new plugin types. I then tried to export the mix and I got an Error (the mp3 .dll wont load).
Any comment on the situation with this from Steinberg?
The problem is a Microsoft Windows limit on static library counts on new .dll loads when a plugin is instantiated. It’s a limit for all windows users and seemed to come to the fore last year. I had been taking to Fabio at steinberg about it. 6 months ago it seemed to cure which I attributed to a Microsoft windows 10 update. Today though with the 9.0.30 update it’s back… I may try a rollback
I wasn’t removing .dll files. I was having the problem badly and at some stage around March it seemed to disappear. There seemed no limit to the amount of unique plugins I could load into a mix at that stage where before I met the limit very quickly
Yes and Yes.
I have had this issue before but the details of that time I can’t remember.
Anyways, yes C9 has been excellent and never had this issue in 9.0.2, that is forsure.
I noticed this issue immediately after applying the update. And this is also after a complete 9 reinstall from the Full Cubase 9 installer a few weeks ago, which I also applied the 9.0.2 patch to.
Yesterday I installed the 9.0.3 patch and noticed, and, it’s occurring in any of my larger projects.
I will be seeing what else I can find out it in the coming days.
Huh.i am using jbridge for my plugs,it does take plugs processing away from daw in a way ,don’t know the tech of threading,but when running large projects with tons of plugins they would stop loading even with the 64 gb mem ,so after I did lower it it did stop ,it was after they introduced the mixer undo history,I’ve never seen this before mixer undo ,if I can disable it I would ,stupid feature if u ask me ,they should have put mixer snapshots instead ,anyway now with undo at 100 I don’t see that anymore at all,maybe it is jbridge or not ,maybe someone with it could test it
No Undo lowering does not fix the issue sorry, Just brought up a mix I had been working on and it is refusing to load any more plugins. How can we roll back to 9.0.20.
Jbridge spawns an external process inside which windows will allow another high number of static library dll calls before it maxes out. Using jbridge is a sticky tape workaround to this issue but the issue has been around for at least 1.5 to 2 years now with no exact fix in sight. The cause was known to be a windows limitation that seemed to raise its head. Apparently steinberg were working on it last I was told but nothing has come forward. It’s probably the most serious daw/windows bug since I started using cubase on windows
