Audio Dropouts on Nuendo 13

We have 2 new machine and been testing Nuendo 13. There have regular audio dropouts. Nothing to do with any drives being exFat or the small buffer size. This is just playing back. Power meter hangs around 30% at idle and still these dropouts happened. One machine being windows 11 (z790 + i7-13700k), the other sonoma M3 imac.
Nuendo 12 playsback without a glitch! Seems this is similar for some people with Cubase.
UAD apollo x16 (x2) on each system.
Anyone still having these issues?

Do you use ASIO Guard?

Tried all the options. Asio guard on and off. Steinberg power options (on windows). Nuendo 12 flows really well on the same computers.

It, is just at Hotfix stage, at this stage it would seem.

Well the imac m3 has kinda resolved it’s issue by going to 32bit float (rather than 64bit) and removing some older plugins (ohmboyz).
